WHY HIRE A CONSULTANT?

 Elevator and escalator consultants serve as industry experts, guiding the new installation, modernization, maintenance and equipment evaluation processes for building owners. Our team of consultants are on the code committees that produce standards for elevators and escalators across the globe. 

•  As a building owner, you don't need to be an elevator expert.   That's the consultant's job. We represent your best interest and guarantee installations, inspections and maintenance are done to industry standard. We value our clients and as a third-party witness we make sure the elevator company and contractors perform on schedule and comply to code regulations.

• Our Elevator consultants have overseen numerous amounts of vertical transportation installations, modernization, and maintenance contracts in every type of building applications. The experience and knowledge that comes with these installations are priceless when dealing with any issues arising  from architect drawings to final punch lists to maintenance contract and callback problems.  

•  Sierra Consultants maintain close/non-bias business relationships with equipment  manufacturers, installers, engineers, architects, parts suppliers and maintenance providers. Consultants can leverage these contacts in your favor, achieving more accurate bid pricing, faster equipment delivery, and better performance on maintenance contracts. They can mediate disputes and solve issues quickly, maintaining healthy working relationships between building  owner and all parties involved. 

•  The useful life of your elevator and escalator equipment will depend on  the quality of the equipment, how it is originally installed, when it is modernized, and how it is maintained. Consultants know the key factors in these four areas and can put into motion a plan that utilizes best practices to ensure your elevators and escalators have a long and safe life of service.
