Elevator projects can be one of the most significant investments a building assumes. ACG provides clients with an assessment of the current condition and projected useful life of their elevator system, to detail anticipated work and provide cost estimates for investments, including short- and long-term, and code compliance. In addition to a report detailing planning and budget, ACG offers clients project management and oversight for all types of elevator projects, including, elevator modernizations, cab replacement, repairs, code compliance, equipment upgrade and new installation.
Routine quality maintenance is critical to optimize elevator performance and maintain safe, reliable elevator service. ACG will evaluate and assess the quality of maintenance being performed on your elevator, via review of current maintenance contract, a site visit and analysis of elevator system. From there, we provide clients an evaluation report including a customized elevator maintenance agreement to maximize equipment coverage, and detailed guidelines for routine maintenance requirements.

We evaluate code compliance and contractor maintenance practices and provide recommendations for short- and long-term action to optimize performance, support planning and budgeting for future.
ACG works with our clients to determine and scope the best elevator system to optimize elevator performance and meet building design interests. We provide elevator layout drawings, specifications for new installation and manage the bidding and contracting process. Following, we support implementation of plan with project management and oversight services.
Elevator equipment can unexpectedly be affected/ damaged by a flood, fire or acts beyond your control. ACG will assess the damage and determine the components and equipment of the elevator system that require replacement/ refurbishment, and the associated cost. We work with property owners and insurance adjusters to manage restoration of the elevator to pre-loss condition, without diminishing the elevator system’s intended useful life.
