An Elevator Maintenance & Equipment Audit provides a complete snapshot of where your elevators stand today.
An elevator maintenance and equipment audit is a comprehensive, independent evaluation of your elevator system, maintenance practices, and overall performance. At Elev8ed Elevator Consulting, we go beyond a surface-level review—analyzing equipment condition, maintenance quality, code compliance, and contract alignment to uncover hidden issues, deferred maintenance, and unnecessary costs. This process provides you with clear, actionable insight into how your elevators are truly operating and whether you are receiving the level of service you are paying for. The result is greater reliability, improved safety, and the confidence to make informed decisions that protect both your budget and your long-term investment.
Maintenance Contract Review: Review of the current maintenance contract scope of work to gain a clear understanding in preparation for the upcoming elevator maintenance and equipment audit. This includes familiarizing with defined services, responsibilities, and performance expectations to ensure a thorough, accurate, and well-informed evaluation.
Maintenance & Testing Logs Review: Review of on-site maintenance and testing logs to verify code compliance and confirm adherence to contract requirements. This includes evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of records to ensure required maintenance tasks and testing intervals are being properly performed and documented.
On-site Equipment Survey: An on-site equipment survey includes a comprehensive evaluation of the machine room, hoistway, cab condition, and pit, along with a thorough examination of the overall elevator system to assess performance, safety, and general condition.
Assessment of Ride Quality, Door Operation, and Leveling: The evaluation includes an assessment of ride quality, door operation, and floor leveling to ensure smooth, consistent performance, proper functionality, and a safe, comfortable experience for passengers.
Performance Testing: Performance testing of the elevator includes evaluating door operation timing and force, measuring operating speed, and verifying proper function of the emergency communication system to ensure safe, reliable, and code-compliant operation.
Identification of Deferred Maintenance and Repair Needs: The assessment includes identifying deferred maintenance and repair needs within the elevator system, highlighting components requiring attention to prevent failures, improve reliability, and minimize the risk of costly unplanned outages.
Audit Report: Following the Elevator Maintenance & Equipment Audit, a detailed report is provided outlining all findings, along with a comprehensive punch list of items requiring corrective action by the elevator contractor to address deficiencies and improve performance.
