Design & Tendering
Better elevator outcomes start with better design
Clear technical requirements and considered design decisions create a stronger foundation for elevator performance, reliability and successful project delivery.
Designing with the entire lifecycle in mind
Elevator projects require careful consideration beyond the initial installation. ECG provides specialist tendering and procurement support to help clients establish clear and consistent project requirements, allowing competing proposals to be assessed on a like-for-like basis.
By considering equipment selection, scope, exclusions and commercial conditions alongside the long-term operation of the asset, ECG helps clients identify potential risks, understand whole-of-life implications and make informed contractor and equipment selections that support both immediate project objectives and long-term building performance.
Design that responds to the building
Every building has different operational requirements, constraints and expectations.
An effective elevator design should consider how the building will be used today while allowing for its ongoing operational and maintenance requirements.
ECG works alongside building owners, developers, architects, builders and project teams to help define appropriate elevator requirements and review proposed solutions.
Depending on the project, this may include consideration of elevator configuration, equipment selection, performance expectations, building interfaces, accessibility, maintainability and future asset requirements.
Creating a clear and competitive tender process
A successful tender process begins with making sure contractors understand exactly what they are being asked to provide.
Without clearly defined requirements, one contractor may include works another excludes, propose different equipment or make assumptions that significantly affect the final project scope and cost.
ECG helps establish a structured tender process so suitable contractors respond to a common set of requirements, providing clients with greater visibility over what is actually being offered.
Elevator Consulting Group provides independent elevator maintenance audits to give clients a clearer understanding of equipment condition, maintenance quality and areas requiring attention.
Our role is to provide an objective assessment, separate from the elevator maintenance provider, so that decisions can be made with greater confidence.
