LPM Managed puts an independent lift specialist between you and your lift contractor. Invoices, quotes, callouts and renewals come to us first. You get answers you can take straight to the committee, and your week back.
A body corporate or facilities manager might hold forty buildings. The lifts in them are a fraction of the assets and a much larger fraction of the interruptions: the quote nobody can assess, the invoice nobody has time to check against the agreement, the contract that rolls over on terms agreed by a committee that has since changed twice, and a committee that wants a straight answer at the next meeting.
Anything that arrives from the lift company comes to us, and it comes back to you as a decision you can take to a committee.
An invoice, a quote, a service report, a renewal notice. One email, no form, no meeting.
The platform reads it against your agreement and the standards, and Gareth reviews everything it flags before anything reaches you.
Where a query is warranted, we raise it with your lift contractor and follow it through to an answer, so you are not the one chasing.
Before each committee meeting you get one page: what happened, what it cost, and what needs a decision.
Written plainly, because a fixed fee only works when both sides know where its edges are.
LPM is founded by Gareth Evans, who spent eighteen years in the lift industry across service and new equipment, including as Service Branch Manager for Queensland at Otis, running five branches and more than ninety people. The contracts LPM reads are the kind he used to price. LPM holds no commercial ties to any lift company and sells none of the work it specifies, which is the only reason a recommendation from us is worth anything. Work is referenced to AS 1735 and EN 81-20, with NCC Part E3, and LPM carries professional indemnity to $5m and public and product liability to $10m.
Every tier includes the full platform for the contracts it covers, so there is nothing to pay alongside it. The fee is fixed, quoted per portfolio rather than per building, and settled in writing before we start, so it does not change when a building has two lifts instead of one. Tell Gareth what you manage and you will have a number the same conversation.
Up to 5 lift contracts
Up to 15 lift contracts
Up to 50 lift contracts
Fees are quoted in AUD, per month. Larger portfolios are scoped individually, and the rate per contract improves with volume. Prefer to run the lifts yourself? The platform is available on its own from $49 per contract per month on the Contracts & Pricing page.
Take LPM Managed for sixty days. If at the end of it you do not believe it has earned its keep, tell us and we refund what you have paid. You keep every report and every review we produced in that time. There is no lock in after that either: LPM Managed runs month to month, and the reason to stay is that it is working.
LPM is taking five founding managed clients, and the terms for them are better than they will be afterwards: the founding rate you agree locked for as long as you stay, your first maintenance tender at no charge when you start on Managed for twelve months, and a direct line to the founder, which is a thing that stops being true as a business grows.
Most buildings are with a capable contractor, and this is not about replacing them. It is about somebody on your side reading the paperwork with the same fluency as the person who wrote it. Nearly everything we raise turns out to be an administrative slip, a charge applied under the wrong clause or a scope written more broadly than intended, and it gets corrected quickly and without friction. A good lift company usually welcomes a client who understands the contract, because it makes every conversation shorter.
No. LPM holds no commercial ties to any lift company. We do not carry out lift work and we do not supply parts or labour. That independence is the entire basis of the service, and it is why we are willing to put a recommendation in writing.
No, and this is usually where the most value sits. A live agreement still has to be administered correctly for its whole term, which means charges matching the clauses, work matching the scope, and any fee adjustment applied the way the contract says. A contract you cannot leave is a contract worth reading carefully.
Both, in that order. The platform reads every document and flags what does not line up, which is what makes the fee possible at this level. Gareth reviews everything it flags before any of it reaches you, and he is on the phone whenever you would rather run something past a person.
Then it is scoped individually, and the rate per contract improves. Body corporate firms and facilities management companies running multiple portfolios are exactly who the Portfolio tier is built for.
Send the current agreement and twelve months of invoices for one building. We read them and send back a written summary of what the contract actually commits you to, what the invoices show against it, and anything worth raising. It takes us a couple of days, it costs nothing, and there is no obligation at the end of it either way.
Send the contract and twelve months of invoices for a single building. You will get a written read on it, and a straight answer about whether having us manage the rest is worth it.
