Common questions about elevator consultants

Short answers before you start your project or tender.

All frequently asked questions

What is a vertical transportation consultant?

An independent specialist who plans a building’s elevators and escalators: how many, how big, how fast. Also called an elevator consultant or lift consultant. Works for the owner, not for an elevator company.

What is the difference between an elevator company and an elevator consultant?

An elevator company sells, installs and maintains. A consultant is independent and works for you.

When do I need an elevator consultant?

At early design, before the shaft sizes are fixed. Also before you sign with a supplier, or when breakdowns keep rising.

Do projects in Saudi Arabia need an elevator traffic analysis?

Yes, especially towers, hotels, hospitals and malls, because peak times decide the number, size and speed of the elevators.

Can the number of elevators be reduced without hurting performance?

Sometimes, but only after a traffic study. Cutting without analysis causes permanent congestion.
