If you are like many who must replace their elevators, you want to find a company that will remove the building elevator fast, but safely. In most cases, those two words don’t go hand in hand. If you want something done right, it’s going to take time. However, there is such a thing as going too slowly, just as there is such a thing as going too fast. It’s important to find the right company, so you get the best of both.
Contact
The first step for any project is to contact the professionals. You may want to consider two to three companies and go through the first three steps until you find someone you can trust and that will work with you to do the job quickly and efficiently.
Inspection
Almost every elevator removal company will need to inspect the site though they should do so when it’s most convenient for you. Make sure there is as little traffic as possible and allow them to consider the floors, shafts, motor room, parking and anything else they may need.
Quote
After the inspection, they should offer you a written quote, if they feel confident to take the job. They’ll discuss with you the scope of work, meaning what will need to be done and the projected timeline. If you agree, they’ll send a quote, which will include terms of the project and expectations, including payment.
Ducks In A Row
Next, they’ll work on building a team of professionals, which can take six to eight weeks. This is the time they’ll decide on a project manager and the team. You can have direct contact with the manager at every turn.
Removal
After they have considered the best way to handle it, they’ll start removing the elevators. This will require them to find the safest options. During this time, customers and staff will be unable to use the lift and will need to use the stairs and other options.
Clean Up
Once the removal process is complete, the company shouldn’t just leave. They need to clean up their mess from all the doors, headers, frames, sills and more. When possible, the rubbish will be reused or recycled. Any hydraulic oil will be removed safely and securely. You can then inspect their work to ensure they haven’t forgotten anything and sign off on the completed project.
