Before requesting the quotation
Seven details give the project a clear starting point
You do not need every technical specification before making an enquiry.
Send confirmed information and leave unknown items open.
Shaft, pit and overhead measurements should be checked rather than guessed.
Planning note:
drawings can help for a building under construction.
Where the shaft already exists, measured dimensions
or a site assessment are more reliable.
01
Building type
Apartment, office, hospital, hotel, home,
factory, warehouse or another building use.
02
Floors and stops
State how many levels the lift is expected to serve.
03
Lift use or capacity
Explain whether the lift will carry passengers,
hospital beds, goods, food, vehicles or another load.
Add a known capacity only when it has already been decided.
04
Shaft information
Share measured shaft width and depth,
landing openings, pit and overhead information when available.
05
Project location
Give the building or project location so access,
delivery and site conditions can be considered.

Include a manufacturer, system or design preference
if the consultant or project already specifies one.
07
Import or LC need
Mention China sourcing, Letter of Credit or import requirements
