Frequently Asked Questions

Property owners and facility managers looking into asset management services typically ask the following:

- Planning capital strategically: Capital planning involves an in-depth assessment of your elevator's condition, age, and performance. This enables you to create a budget that caters to an ideal maintenance schedule and modernization strategy.
- Prioritizing proactive maintenance: Proactive maintenance involves real-time monitoring to detect issues early. It allows for targeted maintenance, which can minimize downtime.
- Evaluating vendor contracts carefully: Overspending on maintenance can be due to poorly structured vendor contracts. You might even be juggling multiple contracts from different vendors. Evaluating and consolidating contracts can help you avoid unnecessary downtime and expenses due to complicated clauses and biased proposals.
These strategies focus on creating customized, long-term plans that optimize your equipment's life cycle. Energy efficiency audits, due diligence, and other comprehensive assessments can help.
Extending an elevator's lifespan with proactive maintenance involves following through with your maintenance control program (MCP). The MCP contains the mandatory maintenance tasks and schedules that keep elevators compliant with your state and local regulations, which can reduce liability risks. Meanwhile, deferring maintenance can allow small issues to escalate into larger, more costly ones.
Routine cleaning, lubrication, or component adjustments can also improve energy efficiency. You may modernize elevators strategically, since small upgrades can enhance reliability and reduce strain on older components.
- Elevator uptime: Elevator uptime tells you how often the elevator remains operational. Proactive servicing, effective issue diagnosis, and responsive vendors can drive consistently high uptime and, in turn, customer satisfaction.
- Operational impact of services: Service quality impacts whether repairs hold up and ensure smooth elevator operations. Vendors should be proactive and follow through on commitments. Determine whether vendor pricing is predictable and consistent. The costs impact your budget and ability to perform necessary services.
- Overall expenses: Review your portfolio metrics. Check for cost savings over time and whether the savings align with maintenance and repair procedures. Higher repair costs may signal the need for modernization. Expenses also tell you whether a full elevator replacement can be a better investment than modernization.
