About Us
Specialist advice. Clear direction. Better elevator outcomes.
Elevator Consulting Group provides specialist consulting and technical advice to help building owners, managers and project teams make informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of their elevator assets.
Who we are
Expertise focused on your elevator assets
Elevator Consulting Group is a specialist consultancy providing advice across the planning, maintenance, assessment, modernisation and delivery of elevator systems.
We work with clients to provide a clearer understanding of their elevator assets, identify priorities and establish practical strategies for both immediate requirements and longer-term outcomes.
Whether reviewing an existing maintenance arrangement, assessing ageing equipment, developing a modernisation strategy or overseeing a major project, our role is to provide the specialist knowledge and technical insight required to support confident decision-making.
Our Approach
Every building, elevator system and project presents different requirements. ECG takes the time to understand the asset, the client’s objectives and the wider project context before providing advice.
Understand
We begin by understanding the building, existing elevator assets, project requirements and the priorities of the client.
Assess
Technical information, equipment condition, documentation and available options are reviewed to establish a clear understanding of the current position.
Advise
Our findings are translated into practical recommendations, helping clients understand their options, priorities and next steps.
Deliver
Where required, ECG can remain involved through procurement, project management, inspections and completion to provide continuity throughout delivery.
Why independent advice matters
Advice centred on the needs of the client
Elevator projects and maintenance decisions can involve significant operational and financial commitments. For building owners and managers, determining the most appropriate course of action can be difficult when technical recommendations are being provided by the same organisations quoting to undertake the work.
ECG provides a specialist consulting perspective focused on helping the client understand what is required, why it is required and the options available.
This approach provides greater clarity when assessing maintenance arrangements, proposed repairs, modernisation strategies, contractor submissions and major capital works.
Who we work with
Elevator systems sit at the intersection of property management, engineering, construction and long-term asset management. ECG works collaboratively with the stakeholders responsible for making those systems perform.
Our Team
Experience you can rely on.
The ECG team brings specialist industry knowledge and practical experience across elevator maintenance, design, modernisation, procurement and project delivery.
Our experience enables us to consider both the technical detail of an elevator system and the wider commercial and operational requirements of the buildings in which they operate.
