Independent consultants

We hold no maintenance contracts, sell no equipment, and take no commission.

  • A hotel lobby in travertine and bronze, a glass elevator bank rising the full height of the space.

    We survey what is installed.

    Condition, performance, and code compliance, unit by unit.

  • A limestone civic hall with a bank of bronze elevator doors set beneath a stone arch.

    We write the specification.

    Sized to the building’s own traffic and duty, not a catalogue.

  • A convention centre concourse under an exposed timber roof, a bank of four escalators rising from polished concrete.

    We evaluate the bids against it.

    Proposals compared to the spec, line by line, before award.

  • A residential high-rise lobby in timber and pale plaster, a single elevator door and call panel beside a window.

    We witness acceptance testing.

    Measured against the specification, not the contractor’s word.

How we are paid
The building owner pays us.Nobody else does. You are the only client on the job.
We do not bid the work.We write the specification, so we are not allowed to win the job.
No manufacturer pays us anything.No commission, no referral fee, no rebate — in any form.
Specifications are written to your building.To its traffic and duty — not to a manufacturer’s catalogue.
We test what was specified.Acceptance is measured against the spec, not the contractor’s proposal.

Where we work

Fourteen sectors, from hospitals to airports

Each of these changes what the specification has to say about traffic, duty, and how the work is staged around a building that cannot stop.

One elevator or an entire portfolio

Useful to have ready

  • Building type and how it operates — traffic patterns, shutdown windows
  • Equipment: how many units, what type, roughly what age
  • Manufacturer and current maintenance contractor, if you know them
  • What prompted the call — a failure, a survey, a budget cycle, a sale
  • Your timeline and whether capital is already allocated
