Why do I need an Elevator consultant when the architect is designing the building?
The architect has overall responsibility for the design of the building, but works with a team of Consultants (electrical, mechanical, structural engineers, interior designers, code consultants, landscape designers, elevator/escalator consultants, parking and traffic consultants,etc) each who has specific experience and expertise.
If you are an owner of a building or a property manager, the building is part of your business! In business you are faced with competition. The strength of your business is the image of your building among existing tenants and of potential new tenants.
Your elevators,escalators have to meet their expectations, which are changing as better buildings are built.

Together with you, we can decide what speed and performance levels you need and we can analyse,discuss and offer solutions.

About the High rise building design team
From the outset, the design team for a high-rise project should include not only the conventional “quarterback” in the form of a qualified architect that is capable of exhaustive coordination required, but also numerous other consultant team members that are vital to good early decision making:
- A market consultant to assess demographics, market demand and early program requirements
- A seasoned condominium sales consultant capable of helping to determine the unit mix, project amenities, the right level of finishes and the actual layout of unit plans
- Value-based geotechnical, structural and civil engineers that understand the importance of economy and efficiency in the structure and sub-structure
- A seasoned contractor with recent core and shell experience, that can provide budget estimating and pre-construction services including value engineering and constructability review
- MEP, energy and life-safety design engineers that can design highly efficient systems
- Curtain wall and envelope consultants that can help the architect afford an innovative building skin and stretch the design budget
- A waterproofing engineer to help ensure against water infiltration
- An acoustical engineer to help ensure acoustical integrity
- An elevator consultant that will help design an efficient vertical transportation system
- Last but not least, an interior design team that truly understands the esoterics of condominium design
It is essential that all of these consultants be brought onto the team early so initial plans are based on the most current technological considerations and labor/materials cost data. On a high-rise project, hitting the budget in the beginning is vital to the success of a project.

Service to Insurance Industry
Incidents involving elevators and escalators kill about 30 and seriously injure about 17,100 people each year in the United States, according to data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Injuries to people working on or near elevators – including those installing, repairing, and maintaining elevators, and working in or near elevator shafts – account for 14- 15 (almost half) of the deaths. The two major causes of death are falls and being caught in/between moving parts of elevators/escalators. Incidents where workers are in or on elevators or platforms that collapse, are struck by elevators or counterweights, or are electrocuted are also numerous.
We offer our services to Owners/Insurers to check the Safety Procedures used on site.Safety Consulting is one of the Critical areas in Building Safety.
Insurance companies can make use of our services by delegating the job of Elevator performance evaluation before insuring and also can make use of our specialist services in assessment of damages.
Elevator Accident- Your Legal Options
A good Consultant,like SRA Systems can work to get you the money you deserve for your injuries by advising you the next step. It is the responsibility of every owner/operator or service inspector to ensure that his or her elevator or escalator is working properly and has undergone all proper inspections prior to being made available for public use.
If an owner/operator of any elevator or escalator has been negligent in ensuring proper inspections, or if a state inspector has knowingly approved an elevator for operation that turns out to have some kind of physical or mechanical defect that ultimately results in passenger injury, one or both parties can be held responsible. When an injury does occur to a person riding on an elevator or escalator, it will generally result in a defective products and/or a negligence claim. Obtaining a good Consultant and a Lawyer is crucial to ensuring that you get everything to which you are entitled.
The Right Step
Elevator and escalator accidents can turn into extremely technical, equipment specific cases, most often requiring quick and immediate action. It is vital that the accident scene be maintained in its original condition so that other inspectors can come in and figure out what went wrong. If the scene can not be maintained, it should at least be well documented, as this will help us build a much stronger case in your favor. Photographs need to be taken on spot to prove your case.
It will cost you nothing to have your case evaluated by one of our experienced Litigation Consultants. Once we have all the facts, we will clearly explain to you what all your current options are at that time. You can then make the informed decision as to whether or not you wish to proceed any further with your case. If you have been injured, you have rights! Please act today!!.
