🛠 Top 5 Things to Know When Planning an Elevator Modernization:

  1. Start Early
    Equipment lead times and Washington State permitting can extend your project timeline. Early planning helps avoid delays and unexpected costs.

  2. Expect Downtime
    Your elevator will be out of service during installation. We’ll help you prepare and clearly communicate the timeline to tenants and stakeholders.

  3. Account for Building System Upgrades
    Jurisdictions like Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia require updates to infrastructure—such as electrical panels, HVAC systems, or fire alarms—to meet current code.

  4. Choose Non-Proprietary Equipment
    Avoid being locked into expensive service contracts and have the freedom to choose.

  5. Expect Proactive, Transparent Communication
    Modernizations involve multiple phases—from equipment selection and permitting to trade coordination. We keep you informed with regular updates, clear schedules, and a dedicated point of contact.
