Independent Elevator
Consulting Services

We advise architects, developers, and property managers on selecting optimal cabin designs, configuring destination dispatch systems, auditing safety protocols, and saving thousands during tendering.

Predictive Traffic Analysis & Design Layouts

Before standard architectural drawings are finalized, we design the elevator configurations. Using high-end simulation engines, we simulate tenant movement flow (morning upsell peak, lunch two-way traffic, evening down-peak) to specify the exact number of cars, dimensions, speeds, and dispatching algorithms required.

Calculates Round Trip Time (RTT) and Waiting Time (INT) metrics.
Drafts structural shaft dimensions, structural loading, and motor room ventilation.
Designs destination control layouts (touchscreens at lobbies, keycard gate integration).

Elevator Modernization & Lifespan Upgrades

Elevator systems have a standard lifespan of 15 to 20 years. When breakdowns increase, OEMs often push for a total shaft replacement (high capital cost). PN Elevator prepares modernization scope files, detailing exactly what needs upgrading (e.g. replacing induction motors with PM gearless machines, switching to VVVF drives) while retaining the structural guide rails and cabin frame.

Saves up to 50% in capital expenditure compared to full replacement.
Integrates energy-saving regenerative motor drives that feed power back to the grid.
Upgrades cabinet aesthetics, lighting, door safety rays, and communications.

Compliance Audits & Safety Certifications

Elevator breakdowns are high liability. We perform third-party audits of safety gears, load compliance, buffer systems, machine room brake operations, and wire ropes. We provide legal documentation, checklist audits, and structural pass certificates to submit to regulatory bodies.

Independent safety verification to protect building managers from liability.
Dynamic brake and drop testing auditing.
Rope tension analysis and governor calibration verification.

Tender Management & Vendor Auditing

Elevator vendors frequently markup installations with custom proprietary designs, locking you into exclusive 10-year maintenance contracts. PN Elevator drafts an open-standard Tender Specification file. We review OEM bids, strip out non-essential markups, and structure non-proprietary contracts that save you up to 35% on installation and maintenance.

Drafts non-proprietary hardware standards allowing any third-party service vendor to maintain.
Reviews vendor bids side-by-side to cross-examine margins.
Establishes strict Performance SLAs (cabin leveling, door speeds, noise limits) in the contract.
