Independent oversight of your lift contracts, invoices, tenders and upgrades, for Brisbane's commercial towers, residential high-rises and strata portfolios, with a real lift industry expert behind it.
Brisbane's commercial and residential stock runs on thousands of lifts, and almost all of them are administered by managers and committees without lift industry backgrounds. Contracts roll over quietly, invoices are approved through portals unchecked, and modernisation quotes land without a second opinion. LPM closes that gap with continuous, independent oversight.
Everything a Brisbane building manager, strata committee or FM company deals with on the lift side, handled independently and always on the owner's side of the table.
Every invoice from your lift company checked line by line against your actual maintenance contract before it is paid. Charges for covered work, escalations above the cap and unmatched visits flagged clearly.
Your agreement read end to end in plain English: fees, escalation, inclusions, response times and notice windows, and exactly what you are entitled to under it.
When your contract is up, a structured tender from scope to award: every submission normalised and compared like for like on price, cover and terms.
A modernisation quote checked independently before you sign, and component-level capital planning so upgrades are budgeted years ahead, not a surprise to the committee.
For strata and FM companies managing many buildings: every contract, invoice and call-out across the book in one independent view, with the checking done for you.
Inspection and audit reports tracked with obligations visible, so AS 1735 and Building Code obligations never sit unread in a drawer.
An independent lift consultant works on the building owner's side of the table: reviewing the maintenance contract, checking invoices against it, running competitive tenders when the contract expires, and giving impartial advice on repairs and modernisation proposals. In Brisbane, where most commercial and residential towers are looked after by building managers, strata committees or FM companies without in-house lift expertise, that independent layer is usually the difference between accepting the lift company's word and knowing your position. LPM delivers it continuously through a platform plus a real industry expert, rather than as a one-off engagement.
Traditional lift consultancy in Brisbane is typically engaged per project, with a single contract review or condition report commonly costing from a few thousand dollars. LPM prices independent oversight differently: a flat monthly fee that covers the platform, continuous invoice checking against the contract, and direct access to a lift industry expert. Standalone fixed-fee services, such as an independent audit or tender management, are quoted upfront and never charged as a percentage of savings or works.
In practice, usually nobody with a lift background. Lift maintenance agreements are typically signed by a body corporate or owner, administered by a strata or building manager, and invoiced through a portal where charges are approved without being checked against the contract terms, because there is rarely anyone on hand who can read them. That gap is exactly what independent oversight closes: LPM reads the contract, checks every invoice against it before payment, and tracks response times and obligations, so the building's side of the agreement is actually managed.
