Before you can plan and design your elevator, it’s crucial for the elevator company you’re working with to understand your building type. The core function of your building will determine how many elevators you’ll need as well as other factors such as where to place them or the number of people they will need to carry.
Types of building can include, but are not limited to:
- Office
- Residential
- Commercial
- Hospitality
- Healthcare
Knowing your building type is essential to understanding what requirements are needed to meet your building code.
For example, a healthcare building might require an elevator that is large enough to carry a stretcher, and an elevator professional would need to understand that before recommending a solution.
