Increase the Value of Your Building
A retrofit elevator increases the value of your property, makes it more attractive to potential buyers and tenants, and significantly improves building accessibility.

Installing a retrofit home elevator is quicker and less disruptive than you might think.

Installing a Retrofit Elevator – A Step-By-Step Guide
We’ll plan and coordinate the entire retrofit elevator installation process, whether it’s a small house lift, a pitless elevator, or a larger retrofit with an external elevator shaft, a dedicated project manager will make sure that everything is completed on time and on budget.
DECISION-MAKING
We can help you gather information about suitable solutions for putting a compact elevator for home in your building, as well as permits and subsidies, and make a rough cost calculation.
FINANCING
We can discuss your options for financing the project, help to identify how much might be covered by subsidies, and recommend alternatives for sharing the costs amongst residents.
PLANNING
We’ll check the installation location of your retrofit elevator, create the architectural and engineering designs for the shaft, design the retrofit elevator cab interior, and make sure that all relevant permits have been processed.
CONSTRUCTION
We take care of all the necessary site preparations, the shaft and retrofit installation, and the final cleanup. Before we hand over your elevator, we’ll carry out a full lift safety and performance inspection.
MAINTENANCE
Our total preventive maintenance services keep your elevator running reliably for its entire lifespan. If problems do occur, our skilled local building lift technicians will get the elevator up and running again as quickly as possible.
The Right Elevator for Your Building - Let’s Make It Happen!
FINDING THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOUR ELEVATOR
We can install an elevator in almost any building. The size and shape of your stairwell will determine whether the elevator will be installed inside or outside.
Installation options:
Inside the stairwell with the stairs on either side
In the middle of the staircase
Partly replacing the staircase, which is extended outside the building
In a pre-assembled shaft on an exterior wall; the shaft is pre-assembled then lifted into place to save time and money.
CHOOSING AN ELEVATOR DESIGN
We can create a solution that matches the interior design and architecture of any building. You can choose an elevator shaft material that matches both your building’s interior and the car wall and floor materials.
ARRANGING FINANCE
Typically, the residents’ association takes a loan and finances the repayments through the monthly service fee. Residents then decide how to share the costs. We can give you advice about financing and provide you with a preliminary budget.
