Independent oversight of your lift contracts, invoices, tenders and upgrades, for coastal apartment buildings, holiday and mixed-use complexes and strata schemes from Caloundra to Noosa, with a real lift industry expert behind it.
Searching for lift maintenance on the Sunshine Coast? We help you choose a company: the right scope, a fair price and a contract you can hold them to. Then we check every invoice against it, so you get what you pay for.
Call the lift company that maintains it first: their number is in the lift car and on your contract. If someone is trapped and at risk, call 000. Once the lift is back, we can check the repair invoice against your contract.
We run a tender where three lift companies price the same scope on the same LPM maintenance agreement, compare the bids side by side, and give you a written recommendation. A fixed fee, quoted upfront.
Before it rolls over, send us your contract and last three invoices. You get written findings inside 3 business days on what you pay against what is covered, free.
Sunshine Coast buildings range from beachfront apartment towers to holiday-let and mixed-use complexes, and most are run by volunteer committees or a strata manager with many schemes to look after. When a lift is out, owners and guests feel it quickly. Contracts roll over quietly, invoices are approved without being checked against the agreement, and modernisation quotes arrive without a second opinion. LPM closes that gap with continuous, independent oversight.
Everything a Sunshine Coast committee, building manager or owner 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 are flagged clearly.
Your agreement read end to end: 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 lift company prices the same LPM maintenance agreement, so the bids compare directly.
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.
A fixed-fee, on-site audit of every lift in the building: condition and remaining life assessed, findings photo-documented, and a costed capital plan for the sinking fund.
Plant registration, inspection reports and service records tracked in one place, so the documents a Queensland body corporate should hold are never sitting unread in a drawer.
Get at least three quotes on exactly the same scope, then compare the contracts, not just the price. The terms that matter are whether the agreement is comprehensive or parts-and-labour only, guaranteed response times including after hours, what is excluded, how the annual escalation is calculated, the contract term and the notice window to leave. Most lift companies do good work, and the real differences usually sit in those terms. An independent tender puts every submission side by side on the same basis so the committee can decide with confidence.
No. LPM works for the building, not the lift company. LPM helps owners and managers on the Sunshine Coast choose a lift company, set up a fair maintenance contract, check repair and modernisation quotes, and confirm every invoice matches what was agreed. For a breakdown, call the lift company that maintains your lift; if someone is trapped and at risk, call 000.
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. Many Sunshine Coast buildings are run by volunteer committees or a strata manager looking after dozens of schemes, with no lift background on hand, so that independent layer helps the committee understand its position before it decides. LPM delivers it continuously through a platform plus a real industry expert, rather than as a one-off engagement.
They can. Salt air and humidity are harder on equipment than inland conditions, which is why the condition of components, and the maintenance history behind them, deserves a proper look when a building is near the water. An independent condition audit rates each component and estimates its remaining life, so the sinking fund reflects what the lifts actually need rather than a generic allowance.
Traditional lift consultancy is typically engaged per project, with a single contract review or condition report quoted on its own scope. 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.
Yes. LPM works with buildings from Caloundra to Noosa and the hinterland, alongside Brisbane, the Gold Coast and wider South East Queensland, and works in person across Australia. The platform serves portfolios anywhere in Australia and New Zealand, and founder Gareth Evans, an 18-year lift industry veteran and former Queensland Service Branch Manager at Otis, is directly available to clients on 0424 614 774.
Yes. LPM holds professional indemnity insurance to $5 million and public and product liability insurance to $10 million, with a certificate of currency available on request. Professional indemnity is the cover that matters for consulting work, because it responds to the advice itself: contract reviews, invoice findings, tender recommendations and modernisation guidance. Committees and building managers are right to ask any consultant for this before engaging.
