Developers and Principal Contractors

Why VerticA?  Lift/escalator contractors frequently do not perform with late deliveries, insufficient site labour, rushed installation, and a lack of compliance to the Employer’s requirements. 

… We can help to protect you from the consequences to your project from this with a package of services tailored to your project.

Design Liability?  Are the Employer’s specified requirements correct, or should you be reviewing these for adequacy?

… We can work with and reinforce Employer’s requirements to ensure that they are fit for purpose and ensure that the lift contractor can reasonably deliver a relevant and workable solution.

Has the Lift/Escalator Contractor Met the Design?  Where you are approving the lift/escalator contractor’s design, are you sure that this meets the Employer’s requirements? Have all of the necessary design elements been integrated, e.g., code, mass, performance?

… We can review the project as a whole and help to ensure that the lift/escalator contractor’s design is capable of meeting the Employer’s needs before equipment is manufactured.

Getting the Lift Contractor to Site.  Getting the lift contractor to site.

… We can assist you with construction of the lift well/escalator and interfaces, thereby helping to ensure that the Lift Contractor is able to start installation to programme.

Site Progress.  Is the Lift/Escalator Contractor’s progress in line with programme?  Is the equipment correct and being installed properly? A non-compliance identified during installation is far easier rectified than a non-compliance identified at testing. 

… We can provide site progress inspections to review and report on progress, accuracy, and quality.   This process will also assist you with valuation of the Lift Contractor’s applications.

Witness Inspection.  Has the equipment been installed, set-up and commissioned correctly; is the equipment compliant to the Employer’s requirements and the required legislation and code? 

… We will carry out thorough witness inspection to ensure that what you handover to the Employer meets their requirements and will provide safe and reliable operation.

Defect Resolution.  Is your final account unresolved and are you at risk during the warranty period?

… We will ensure that all defects raised at witness inspection are satisfactorily addressed.
