Vertical transportation consultants
Building relationships with industry talent and innovation
Lifts are a capital decision before they are a maintenance problem. Condition audits, traffic analysis, modernisation and maintenance contract audits, for lifts and escalators across Australia. We work for the building owner, measuring what the equipment actually does, then managing the work that follows.
Independent by design
We do not sell, install or maintain equipment
It means one set of measurements on the job that everyone can work from. The recommendation that follows a condition audit is the one the evidence supports, whoever ends up supplying the lift.

Services
Three ways owners bring in a lift consultant
Most engagements start with an audit and end with a maintenance contract that can actually be held to account.
Lift Condition Audits & Design
Independent assessment of what a building’s vertical transportation actually does, and what it should do next.
- Conceptual and schematic design
- Design development and upgrade specifications
- Equipment condition audits
- Traffic analysis and modelling
Lift & Escalator Project Management
End-to-end delivery of lift modernisation and escalator works, from capital approval through to defects liability, on the owner’s behalf.
- Project briefs
- Capital approval documentation
- Design team selection
- Tender management and evaluation
Maintenance Contract Audit & Management
An independent audit of the maintenance contract an owner is already paying for, then the management of it, under MAPLE, the Maintenance Assessment Program for Lifts and Escalators. First deployed in 2018 and now covering 4,800 lifts and 1,211 escalators and moving walks in 935 buildings.
- Maintenance agreement analysis (GTTR, MTBF, fault mode)
- Contract management and mandatory compliance reporting
- Independent site audit via our own mobile app
- Live performance dashboard: availability, response, downtime
How we start
What comes before a lift modernisation
Traffic analysis, equipment condition and compliance position, established first. A replacement budget is easier to sign off when the measurement comes before the proposals.
Sectors
The building type changes the problem
A lift outage in a hospital is a patient-movement issue. In a shopping centre it is lost turnover. The engineering is similar; the programme is not.

Age, use, how many cars, and what is going wrong. That is usually enough for a first conversation.
