Lift modernisation is a significant, long-term investment. LPM independently manages the whole of it: scoping the works, taking them to market, and monitoring the programme, commercial position, quality and documentation on your behalf through to handover. Required engineering certification and statutory sign-off remain with the contractor and the authorised parties; we make sure those obligations are specified, tracked and evidenced before the project is closed out.
A modernisation is a once-in-a-generation project. We manage the whole of it as your independent adviser, from the first assessment to the final certificate.
Before any funds are committed, we assess the lift's condition, remaining lifespan and compliance. We then present your options with budget estimates and a clear recommendation, ensuring the committee makes decisions based on comprehensive information rather than a contractor's sales pitch.
We develop a tender-ready, vendor-neutral scope of works and take it to market. With every contractor quoting against the same scope, you receive accurate, comparable bids rather than inconsistent proposals.
Throughout the project, we attend site and monitor progress, quality, documentation and the contractual requirements on your behalf. Engineering certification and statutory testing remain the responsibility of the contractor and the authorised parties carrying out those functions; our job is making sure those obligations are specified, tracked and evidenced before the project is closed out. You have a single point of contact throughout.
Most consultants charge a percentage of the project cost, increasing their fee as your project grows. We do not. We agree on a fixed fee per lift, so there is no incentive to expand the scope unnecessarily, and we hold complete independence from lift companies. Your project and budget are our sole priorities.
A major lift upgrade deserves an expert who only answers to you. Get in touch and we'll scope it with you.
