Full Design Duties
ILECS provide full design duties for residential and commercial buildings, ranging from the modernisation of existing units through to entirely new installations.
Every lift and escalator design should be developed in response to individual business or client objectives.
It’s important to understand what your business wants to achieve by incorporating a lift or escalator, or upgrading current transportation.
Our lift and escalator designs give you a full and comprehensive list of works that would be required. ILECS lift consultants ensure works are carried out to a high standard and with specified equipment suitable for the installation, and compliant with the latest standards.
Expert guidance is available throughout the entire project – from initial preparation of the specification, right through to witness testing and final handover of the lifting equipment.
