Don’t sign their contract - make them sign yours!

You need a maintenance contract that suits YOUR needs

A maintenance specification is a detailed contract for the fulfillment of maintenance services that will maintain and ensure the longevity of your unique equipment installation. ATIS and KJA Canada empower building owners and property managers with tailored elevator and escalator maintenance specifications that truly address your facility’s unique assets and operational requirements.

Why Customized Maintenance Contracts Matter

A well-written maintenance agreement is essential for ensuring the longevity and reliable operation of your vertical transportation equipment. Our elevator and escalator service agreement consulting helps you develop robust, proactive documents that go beyond the minimum. We address critical issues like response times, preventive service intervals, component coverage, and clear performance standards, giving you leverage when holding vendors accountable.

Custom Maintenance Specification Services Include:

  • Stakeholder meeting to determine needs.

  • Assessment of the equipment type, building type, and usage.

  • Review of specifications with stakeholders. 

  • Revisions and rewrites based on stakeholder feedback.

When to Consider Using Our Custom Maintenance Specification Design Services?

Unfortunately, most elevator companies offer little more than a reactive contract that doesn’t preserve your equipment. Over time, the neglect from not doing the necessary maintenance degrades equipment and takes years off its useful life. 

Our commercial elevator and escalator maintenance consulting provides a layer of expert oversight. We have decades of experience in maintenance auditing, so we know where most vendors fall short and how to ensure your equipment doesn’t suffer as a result.

We’ve been inspecting and assessing elevators for decades - and we know where maintenance often falls short. Our services can preserve your equipment, ensure safety, and save you money. 

Custom Request for Proposal (RFP) Services Include:

  • Custom bid document.

  • Selection of qualified bidders who receive the bid document.

  • Organization of pre-bid meetings to answer maintenance vendor questions.

  • Bid analysis presented to stakeholders.

  • Price and clarification negotiation as needed.

  • Award and virtual kick-off meeting with chosen vendor.

A Request for Proposal is the process of obtaining, analyzing, and comparing vendor proposals in response to your unique specifications.
