What is included

What does Elevator design include?

Elevator design covers the type, dimensions and finish agreed with you before work begins.

System type and capacity
The system type and capacity are chosen according to the number of floors and the building use.
Shaft and pit dimensions
Shaft width, pit depth and headroom are fixed before pouring, and vary with the system and cabin size.
Cabin and door dimensions
Cabin width, depth and door opening width are chosen before the shaft wall is designed.
Machine room position
Whether a machine room is needed affects the top floor design and is settled early.
Cabin finish and floor
Cabin walls and floor finish are chosen to suit the building use and traffic volume.
Control panel and indicators
The button panel position and floor indicators are fixed in the design because their wiring runs through the shaft.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

A shaft built to the wrong dimensions

Many building owners leave the shaft dimensions to the contractor without first deciding the elevator type. The result is a pit that is too shallow, or headroom that does not fit the motor, and the owner ends up breaking out and rebuilding, or settling for an elevator that does not suit the building.

Decide before the concrete is poured

We choose with you the type, capacity, dimensions and cabin finish before construction begins. The step nobody sees is reviewing the cable routes and connections inside the shaft, because changing them later means opening the walls. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us the building type and the number of floors, and we agree the details.

FAQ

How do I know elevator design is more than just picking a size?

Design means linking every element to the others: the capacity determines the cabin, the cabin determines the shaft, and the shaft determines whether a machine room is needed and where. Changing any element after the concrete is poured means demolishing part of the building, so everything is settled before construction starts.

What information should I prepare before we agree on the design?

Prepare the number of floors and the total building height, the type of use, and whether the shaft has already been cast. It also helps to know whether there is space for a machine room on the top floor, because that directly affects the system type.

Can the elevator be designed after the shaft is already built?

It is possible, but the options narrow. If the shaft dimensions only fit one system type, the design adapts to them rather than the other way around. Owners often discover that the pit depth needs changing to suit the cabin they want, and digging after the concrete is poured is harder and more disruptive.

What should I check in the design before construction begins?

Check that the shaft dimensions, the width, pit depth and headroom, match the chosen type and its capacity. Also confirm that the door opening on every floor is in the right place, because moving it later may affect a load-bearing wall and require additional structural work.

Common mistake: is stating the elevator capacity enough to design the shaft?

Capacity alone is not enough. Two cabins with the same capacity can differ in dimensions depending on the door type, side-opening automatic, centre-opening or semi-automatic, and that changes the shaft width. The system type also affects the pit depth and headroom required, so the shaft cannot be settled without fixing all these elements together.
