When constructing a new building or modernizing an existing space, elevator installation is one of the most crucial stages of the project.

Elevator Installation Process: What to Expect Step-by-Step

When constructing a new building or modernizing an existing space, elevator installation is one of the most crucial stages of the project. This not only ensures comfortable movement between floors but also significantly increases the building's value and functionality. But how does this process actually work, and what stages await you as a client?

As "Dizayn Lift," we strive to make this process as transparent and simple as possible for our customers. In this article, we will explain the elevator installation process step-by-step.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Project Planning

Everything begins with understanding your needs. In this phase, our professional team meets with you to clarify the following points:

• Property Analysis: How many floors does the building have? What is its purpose (residential building, office, shopping center, hospital)?
• Requirement Definition: The approximate load capacity of the elevator (number of people), its speed, and the intensity of daily use are considered.
• Design and Aesthetics: Cabin design to match the interior, materials (stainless steel, glass, special coatings), button panels, and lighting options are discussed. A choice is made between panoramic lifts, classic passenger elevators, or special-purpose lifts.

Based on this information, our engineers prepare an initial project design that perfectly matches your building's architecture.

Step 2: Proposal Preparation and Contract Signing

Once all technical and aesthetic details of the project are agreed upon, a detailed commercial proposal is presented to you. This proposal includes:

• Technical specifications of the selected elevator equipment;
• The total cost of the project;
• Estimated timeline for work completion;
• Warranty and service conditions.

After both parties agree to the terms, a formal contract is signed, and the project commences.

Step 3: Technical Preparation and Shaft Construction

This is the most fundamental part of the installation. If an elevator shaft does not exist in the building, its construction is carried out based on approved drawings. If an existing shaft is present, its dimensions and technical condition are checked, and if necessary, it is adapted to meet standards. Strict adherence to safety regulations is the top priority at this stage.

Step 4: Equipment Procurement and Delivery

Based on the contract, the selected elevator components (motor, rails, cabin, doors, control panel, etc.) are ordered from leading manufacturers worldwide. All equipment meets international quality and safety standards (e.g., ISO and CE). The equipment is imported to Azerbaijan and delivered to the site for installation.

Step 5: Mechanical and Electrical Installation Work

This is the most active phase of the process. Our professional installation team performs the following tasks sequentially:

• Installation of guide rails: Ensures the vertical movement of the cabin and counterweight.
• Installation of the elevator motor and control system.
• Assembly of the cabin and counterweight (balance).
• Installation of floor and cabin doors.
• Connection of all electrical and safety systems (brakes, speed governor, emergency stop buttons).

Step 6: Testing and Commissioning

Once the installation is complete, rigorous tests are conducted to ensure the elevator operates safely and without problems. These tests include load tests, speed checks, activation of the emergency braking system, and verification of all functions. The process is carried out in full compliance with the requirements of relevant state bodies and technical regulations.

Step 7: Handover and Documentation

After all tests are successfully completed, the elevator is considered ready for operation. At this stage, you are provided with:

• The elevator's technical passport;
• User manuals;
• Warranty document.

At the same time, responsible personnel of the building are instructed on the proper operation of the elevator and emergency procedures.
