The Right Commercial Elevator Starts With the Right Questions

Every commercial elevator project at ESCO begins with two straightforward questions: What are you trying to accomplish, and what does your budget allow? ESCO is an elevator installation company that works alongside your architect and general contractor from the earliest planning stages. Commercial elevator projects carry more code regulations and involve more trades than residential work, and the permitting process can vary significantly by state. The earlier we’re part of the conversation, the fewer surprises your project encounters during permitting and inspections.

Our Full-Service Approach to Commercial Elevator Installation

At ESCO, we understand commercial elevator projects are often part of larger construction projects with architects, general contractors, electricians, and structural engineers all working toward the same deadline. That’s why we install commercial elevator systems as a collaborative partner within your larger construction project, not just another sub showing up at the end. We provide the specifications, structural requirements, and product expertise your project needs to build the elevator scope into the timeline correctly from the start, so it doesn’t become the trade that holds everything else up.

  • New Construction Projects

    For new construction and capital improvement projects, our team provides the exact dimensions, structural requirements, and utility specifications to properly integrate elevator systems into their plans from day one. We supply architects and engineers with full product specifications and cut sheets directly so the elevator scope is built into the blueprints rather than shoehorned in later.

  • Building Renovations and Upgrades

    For existing buildings undergoing renovations or ADA compliance upgrades, ESCO evaluates the structure, identifies what’s feasible within the building’s existing footprint, and works with your contractor to develop a practical installation plan that minimizes disruption to the building’s operations and occupants.

LULA Elevator Systems: The Simpler Commercial Solution

A LULA elevator from ESCO bridges the gap between a basic accessibility solution and a full-scale commercial passenger elevator. It offers fully automated, push-button operation with automatic sliding doors to provide the same riding experience your visitors expect from any modern commercial building. With cab sizes up to 18 square feet and up to 25 feet of vertical travel, a LULA is a practical and cost-effective commercial elevator for low-rise buildings.

Why Building Owners and Contractors Choose ESCO

Commercial elevator equipment requires rigorous state testing before it can be placed into service. ESCO’s mechanics are members of the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC), a distinction backed by tens of thousands of hours of classroom training, hands-on field experience, and continuing education. When your building’s elevator is inspected, our team has the depth of credentials and experience that state inspectors expect.

ESCO handles your commercial elevator project from the first evaluation to long-term preventative maintenance. State regulations require periodic testing and inspection of all commercial elevator equipment, and our team is there every step of the way. You work with one elevator installation company from planning throughout the life of the equipment, which means fewer handoffs, fewer surprises, and a single point of accountability.

Already have commercial elevator equipment installed by another company? ESCO can evaluate, repair, and maintain it regardless of who put it in. We regularly work with building owners and property managers who have transitioned their elevator service to our team. Our mechanics service all makes and models, so the switch is straightforward whether you’re looking for better responsiveness, more transparent reporting, or a partner who actually shows up for preventative maintenance.
