Condominium association, Miami
Six months
of billing stopped
Maintenance and callback invoices with no documented maintenance visits behind them. We stopped the billing and held the contractor to the agreement.
Elevator consultants for Florida boards and buildings
Florida boards are being asked to fund elevator work on evidence, not estimates. We read the maintenance agreement, assess what the equipment has left and put a defensible number on the elevator line of the budget, for condominium and co-op boards, association managers and commercial owners statewide.
Who we work for in Florida
Our client is the owner, the board or the property manager who signs the contract, never the elevator company.
Condominium and co-op boards
Volunteer directors are asked to approve elevator contracts, proposals and special assessments they have no way to check. We give the board an independent read in plain language, and we present it to owners if you want us to.
Community association managers
Managers carry the vendor relationship day to day. We back you with an audit, a specification and a bid, so the recommendation you bring to the board is defensible.
Commercial and retail property
Office towers, hotels, mixed-use buildings and retail centers with elevators and escalators, where downtime is lost rent and the contract rarely matches the equipment.
Where Florida engagements begin
All nine services are available in Florida. These are the four owners here ask for first.
Contract Analysis
Know what your contract obligates the contractor to do, before you sign, at renewal, or when a dispute arises.
Equipment Analysis
Know your equipment’s real condition and remaining life, before you plan a dollar of capital.
Specifications
A written standard that closes the change-order loopholes before a contractor can find them.
Project Oversight
From award to closeout, we watch the job site so your board doesn’t have to.
Planning ahead is now the expectation
Since the post-Surfside reforms, Florida condominium boards are expected to plan and fund major repairs on evidence rather than defer them. Elevators are some of the most expensive systems in a high-rise. An equipment assessment with remaining-life estimates and a modernization budget gives the board a documented basis for the elevator line of its reserves and capital plan.

Questions Florida owners ask
Anything else, call 954.281.8484.
Do you work directly for condominium boards?
Yes. Condominium and cooperative associations are at the heart of our Florida work. We report to the board, or to the manager on the board’s behalf, and never to the elevator company.
Can you help with the elevator part of our reserve planning?
An equipment assessment gives you remaining-life estimates for the major components and a modernization budget with realistic ranges and timing, which is what the elevator line of a reserve or capital plan needs.
Our maintenance contract renews automatically. Is it too late?
Usually not. Many agreements allow termination or renegotiation at set windows with written notice. We read the renewal and termination terms and tell you your options, and the dates that matter.
Do you cover all of Florida?
Yes. We work statewide, including Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples, Jacksonville and the Panhandle. Our State of Florida Certified Elevator Inspectors work anywhere in the state.
