LIFT INSTALLATION & MODERNISATION 


Lifts & Escalators are among the most visible and highly utilised assets in buildings today. They are the one system that tenants directly interact with on a daily basis. Their performance and reliability is part of the image of the facility and heavily influences the quality of the building as perceived by its tenants and visitors.


Once lifts and escalators reach a certain age, or components become difficult to source or support, the equipment can become unreliable and result in increased downtime.

It is essential as a building owner, to address this to ensure the equipment remains safe and reliable for the end user.


The investment in either upgrading components, major modernisation or full replacement of your units will save you money in the long run and ultimately increases the value of the property.


Newer, more technically advanced components will increase the efficiency of your lifts, resulting in lower energy consumption and increased pedestrian traffic flow. 


By modernising or replacing the equipment, you will not only reset the lifecycle, but  will also ensure compliance with all current safety standards, codes, and regulations.


Let A&RMS manage the process for you. We will assess the equipment, make recommendations, design the specification, call for tenders, project manage the installation, and witness the testing of each unit for final certification.

AUDITING


 Our experienced team carry out a detailed site inspection of the entire installation, and report findings in a clear and concise way. 

After completion of the site inspection and audit, we would present a written Audit Report detailing our findings in respect to compliance and condition.

We would provide recommendations in relation to any options available for upgrading the equipment in the future, including time frame and budget costs for any required work. 


Our report also provides comments relating to the maintenance being provided by the maintenance contractor in accordance with the current comprehensive agreement, including a rating of 1-5 on the standard of the maintenance. 

We would provide a Corrective Action Grid detailing any items that should be addressed by the Lift Maintenance Contractor as part of the maintenance agreement, for rectification and sign off. 

We would also provide comments on a lift telephone solution with NBN 


How could a lift maintenance audit help you?

  • It provides you with a detailed independent report and determines whether the lift service provider is performing as specified in the maintenance agreement.
  • It gives you clear and concise recommendations, allowing you to plan for the future, based on concrete findings.


REPORTING 


We provide life cycle reports, with future scope, and budget pricing for equipment upgrade, modernisation or full replacement.


A comprehensive capex report will assist you with effective budgeting and future proofing the assets.


Due Diligence reports are significantly important to property investors as they evaluate a property for potential acquisition.


A&RMS provide the most comprehensive Due Diligence services available to building owners and prospective purchasers.


Reports include realistic cost analysis and recommendations for any upgrades to the equipment that reflect the latest technological advances as well as code and aesthetic considerations.


A&RMS provide independent expert opinion in relation to insurance or litigation matters. We are here for you if you require specialist services opinions on matters relating to Lifts, Escalators & Moving Walks.


MAINTENANCE TENDERING & AGREEMENTS


A&RMS provide custom, performance-based Maintenance Agreements to ensure equipment is maintained regularly and in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and relevant standards.


We implement a Tender process by inviting approved maintenance providers to Tender, followed by contract negotiation and administration. 


The A&RMS Performance Based Comprehensive Maintenance Agreement has many advantages for the owner over the lift company’s agreement.

By utilising the A&RMS Maintenance Agreement, owners have experienced significant savings in their lift maintenance and repair costs

The advantages to the owner of the A&RMS Agreement include:

  • Competitive Tendering on the same Specification (Apples for Apples).
  • All maintainable equipment covered as opposed to many exclusions in the Lift Company’s Agreements (phones, lighting, motor/drive fusion etc).
  • Fee invoiced at beginning of each quarter, not quarterly in advance.
  • Fixed 3% increase only applied annually, not CPI+ wage increases etc, applied quarterly.
  • Obsolescence clause (The lift company cannot charge the owner for replacing a part that they deem “obsolete” when there is an  equivalent available). The lift company can only charge for the price difference and additional labour if they have to change the design, not the full cost.
  • No automatic rollover clause (Contracts usually rollover for equivalent period to the initial period, from 12 months to 10 years).
  • The owner can terminate the A&RMS Agreement if they wish to modernise the lift, allowing the owner to achieve competitive tendering for upgrades.
  • Specified number of maintenance visits / annum.
  • Penalties if the lift company do not fulfil their obligations.

TESTING & CERTIFICATION 


Prior to a new or modernised lift being placed into service, each unit must be fully commissioned and tested to all current safety and code requirements.

A&RMS will carry out a detailed inspection and witness the contractor’s testing procedure and identify any areas of non-compliance with the standards or specification.

Once all defects are rectified, A&RMS would carry out detailed final inspection and sign off for compliance certification.



CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SERVICES


 A&RMS Contract Management Service controls the management of lift maintenance, associated reports and correspondence, alleviating the stresses and strains of lift management. 

Our goal is to provide our clients with information, technical advice and accurate reports which enables them to make sound judgements and to plan for the future.

We specialise in reviewing current maintenance contracts and making sound recommendations by giving truly independent advice that’s right for your building.

Working with our clients to manage their contract or portfolio, we deal directly with the lift contractors, keeping our clients fully informed of all actions taken in support of their lift service.

All quotations and invoices are reviewed and checked by our experienced team to ensure that works are first, required, and secondly, that value for money is achieved.

We aim to reduce costs associated with maintenance, callouts and repairs over the term of the agreement – saving our clients valuable time and money

Our approach to this process ensures the best possible outcome for our clients.



Our Goal is to Save you Time, Money and Stress
