When you’re taking up some construction project, safety should be your top priority for everything – especially something as prone to fatal incidents as the elevator installation. And since you most definitely lack the knowledge needed to properly design an elevator system for the current construction, you should look up the services of an elevator consultant. However, make sure you don’t get ripped off by having to pay for various features you don’t actually need!
The basic job of an elevator consultant should be to first inspect the building (or construction project), and decide on the system that’s going to be used. There are some standard procedures to determine what installations to utilize for particular building types, and your elevator consultant should be familiar with all of those.
In addition, any elevator consultant you take up must also offer regular maintenance check-ups and audits, in order to ensure that the building’s elevator installation remains in top condition throughout the lifetime of its use. Typically, audits like this should be performed every few months or so in order to ensure the safety of the system. Sometimes, more frequent ones may be required, depending on how often the elevator is used.
