Guides

Lift oversight, explained plainly.

Practical guides for strata committees, building managers and FM teams: invoices, call-out charges, contracts, records, compliance and budgeting. No jargon, no scare tactics, written from the building's side of the table.

The way to read a lift invoice

Five points to check before any lift invoice is approved, and none of them need lift expertise.

The call-out charge that was already included

The distinction that settles most call-out disputes, and the one polite question worth asking.

What your committee needs to be shown about the lifts

The one-page lift summary that answers committee questions before they are asked. Free template included.

The two-lift problem

Good lift oversight for the average building is four habits, not a department.

Changing lift contractors without any trouble

The notice window, the records and the baseline: three things that make a switch orderly.

How to check a lift consultant (including us)

Five questions to put to anyone offering independent lift advice, with our own answers underneath each one.

The aspects not included in “comprehensive”

The coverage is in the exclusions at the back of the contract, and they are worth reading twice.

Your lift records are the property of the building

The service history, dockets and callback log describe your asset, and you have the right to see them.

The three lift documents every QLD committee should hold

Registration, safe-to-operate evidence and maintenance records: what to keep on file and why.

The sinking fund and the lift

Lift replacement timing is usually decided by the control system, not the machinery. Plan for that.

Who is actually managing your building's lift contract?

One account manager, hundreds of buildings. Where your building sits on the list, and one question that tells you.
