The Approach

Led by experts with decades of hands-on experience, ECC’s approach to elevator and escalator installation is one of a kind.

We plan for success

We like to start in the early stages of design and development so we can review initial drawings and submittals and perform constructability reviews to make sure proposed elevators will actually work in the design.

We connect the dots

We monitor progress and get ahead of any elements that could affect the schedule. We also make sure throughout the process that they adhere to project specifications and contracts.

We’re all about quality

We coordinate with the trades throughout installation to not only keep an eye on quality, but also tee everything up for a successful inspection. With approval in hand, we prepare final punch lists and complete all open items for hand-over to the client.

We get results

We get results. Our projects have an average inspection pass rate of 97% on final inspections. Compare that to the industry average of 45% and it’s clear that having a dedicated elevator specialist makes all the difference.
