THE GOLDEN TIME TO INSTALL A HOMELIFT

Friday, November 29, 2024

These are questions that many customers are interested in. Choosing the right time to install a homelift not only ensures installation and operational efficiency but also protects the quality of the equipment, saves time, effort, and some costs. Let’s explore with Benelifts S.r.l to determine the best time to install an elevator and optimize everything from technology to construction progress.

1. When can elevators be installed?

In theory, homelifts can be installed as soon as the building is complete, with the roof removed and the machine room finalized. However, this may not be the optimal time; installing an elevator during this stage may present some limitations, such as:

  • Unsuitable staging conditions: A construction site that is wet and unfinished can affect the quality of elevator components, especially electrical equipment.
  • Difficulty ensuring elevator quality: Incomplete projects where elevators are installed too early without adequate protection may compromise the elevator's operational quality later on.
  • Elevator doors and cabins prone to damage: During house completion, transporting materials can cause collisions, leading to deformations in elevator doors and cabin walls. Glass elevator walls are particularly susceptible to scratches.

2. When is the best time to install an elevator?

So, when is the “golden” time to install an elevator? The ideal time to install a homelift is after plastering and flooring work is completed. Specifically:

  • For tiled buildings: Install the elevator after plastering and tile work is finished.
  • For wooden floor buildings: Install the elevator after the cement screed has been completed.

At this point, the elevator installation will align with other interior projects such as sanitary equipment, air conditioning systems, and exterior painting. The elevator can be put into use immediately after the project is completed.

To ensure synchronization, the investor must coordinate closely between project supervisors, construction contractors, and the elevator unit. Working with Benelifts S.r.l, every elevator project is supported by technical and sales staff who provide consultation and supervise the elevator shaft construction process, ensuring compliance with technology, timing, and progress.

3. When should you sign the elevator contract?

Besides construction timing, elevator installation is also a concern for investors when signing a purchase contract. We believe the best time to research and sign a contract is during the design and construction phases of the project. This allows for proactive planning and avoids schedule delays.

Installing a homelift system typically takes 10 to 15 days. However, the procurement time (from signing the contract to installation) generally ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on the type of elevator (local or imported).

Therefore, it is crucial to gather information about homelifts during the preparation phase of building a house. Signing the elevator contract as early as possible offers the following benefits:

  • Stabilized elevator pricing: Avoid future price increases.
  • Accurate drawing consultation: Provide elevator design drawings to the architectural designer for construction planning.
  • Construction supervision: Ensure the elevator shaft dimensions and techniques meet standards.
  • On-time progress: Prevent delays in project completion and usage schedules.
  • Choosing the right time to install an elevator not only ensures operational quality but also optimizes construction progress and investment costs.

With many years of experience in the elevator industry, Benelifts S.r.l is proud to offer comprehensive solutions—from consultation to installation and maintenance of imported European elevators from the Benelifts brand.
