LPM/Independent Audit
Independent Audit

Ensure you fully understand your position before making any commitments.

An independent audit involves a technical expert conducting an impartial, on-site inspection of your lift. We assess the condition and compliance of the equipment and provide a written report detailing its remaining life and future requirements.

What you receive

An independent set of eyes on your lift.

A technical expert inspects the equipment in person and gives you a clear, honest report on its condition and what it will need next.

Written report
a clear, comprehensive condition report, suitable to present to owners

Photo evidence

Condition & compliance

The actual condition of your lift, verified through an on-site inspection.

We conduct in-person inspections of the machine room, shaft, pit, and car, evaluating the controller, drive, doors, safety gear, and ride quality for condition, wear, and compliance with AS 1735. Each finding is documented with photographs, providing a clear assessment of what is sound, worn, or at end of life.

On-site, not remote: hands-on inspections of the machine room, shaft, pit, and car, rather than remote assessments.
Every major component: the controller, drive, doors, safety gear, and car, thoroughly assessed and photographed.
Compliance checked: measured against AS 1735 and all relevant codes for your building.

An honest read of the equipment
A hands-on inspection of every major component, so you know what is worn, what is obsolete, and what still has life left.
Remaining life & capital plan

Identify required actions, timelines, and budget considerations.

Following the inspection, we outline the remaining life of your lift and provide a phased, costed capital plan for 5, 10, and 15 years, including a clear recommendation to modernise or replace. This ensures major works are planned, not unexpected.

Remaining life, estimated: an honest estimate of how long your lift has left.
A costed forward plan: phased over 5, 10, and 15 years.
Modernise or replace: a clear recommendation suitable for presentation to owners.

A plan you can budget to
A phased, costed plan so the committee can set levies and stage the spend, instead of being blindsided when a lift fails.
Independent by design

We charge a fixed fee, never a percentage of your project costs.

Our independent audits are impartial. We agree on a fixed fee upfront, never a percentage of your project or savings, and maintain no affiliations with any lift company. Our only priority is your building's best interest.

Fixed, transparent fee: agreed upon before work begins, never influenced by inspection findings.
No commissions or referral fees: from lift companies, ensuring unbiased advice.
A reliable basis to plan: our report is a foundation for budgeting, modernisation, or tendering on your terms.

An audit is only worth having if it's honest
A reviewer paid a cut of the works has a reason to find them. We charge a fixed fee, so the finding is the finding, and a clean report sets you up to plan or modernise on your terms.
