Builders & architects

Bring the lift team in before the structure is locked in.

Early advice on shaft, pit, overhead, access and interfaces can prevent expensive compromises later in the build.

Project partnerships

Clear interfaces. Fewer assumptions.

We work with builders, architects, designers, certifiers and accessibility specialists across new homes, renovations, replacement projects and commercial works.

Our aim is to make the lift requirements understandable early, then remain available as the project moves from drawings to construction and handover.

Discuss a project

Architectural design input

Early assessment of available space, door arrangement, circulation, finishes and suitable lift types.

Builder requirements

Pit, shaft, overhead, support, power and finishing interfaces clearly identified.

Delivery coordination

Programme, access, equipment delivery, installation, testing and handover coordinated with site.

E-FRAME / BUILDER PREPARATION

A simpler building interface

Preparing for an E-Frame lift

Our aluminium E-Frame forms the lift enclosure, so the builder does not need to construct a traditional masonry shaft. The building-side preparation is straightforward when it is coordinated early.

  1. 01

    Leave the floor void

    Form the required opening through each floor in accordance with the approved lift drawings.

  2. 02

    Create the pit

    Prepare the set-down pit area at the lowest landing to the nominated dimensions and depth.

  3. 03

    Allow for overhead

    Where the available top-floor overhead requires it, form a ceiling rebate similar to a skylight opening.

All openings, pit dimensions, structural supports and overhead requirements must be confirmed against the project-specific lift drawings before construction.

Already designed a masonry shaft?

Lift within a shaft by builder.

You do not need to use our aluminium E-Frame. Where an architect or builder has already designed a masonry, concrete or framed lift shaft, we can provide a lift package specifically coordinated for installation within that structure.

We review the proposed shaft dimensions, pit, overhead, door openings, structural supports, power and finishes early, then provide project-specific lift drawings for coordination before construction.

SHAFT BY BUILDER / INSTALLATION

Building-side works

We understand where lift work meets building work.

From excavation and penetrations to structural framing, shaft finishes and making good, responsibilities are clearer when they are defined early.
