Our Five-Step Process

The following straightforward process is how we take a residential elevator in Bernardsville, New Jersey, from design to installation:

Step 1: Consultation & Planning

• Homeowner: Contact your local dealer and share any existing home plans or project details, whether you’re working with an equestrian estate in Far Hills, a historic property in Peapack or any Somerset Hills residence.
• Dealer: Conduct an onsite consultation (or architectural drawing review) to recommend the best drive system and hoistway layout for your space.

Step 2: Design Selection & Quote

• Homeowner: Select your design finishes, including cab style, gates and accessories that complement Somerset County’s residential architecture.
• Dealer: Provide a quote based on your specific selections.

Step 3: Technical Drawings & Permits

• Homeowner: Review and approve hoistway drawings with your contractor and secure necessary permits (if applicable).
• Dealer: Create hoistway drawings with all necessary requirements, and review with homeowner and contractor.

Step 4: Construction & Inspection

• Homeowner: Have hoistway built by your contractor to match approved hoistway drawings – including flush door requirements and specifications appropriate for Somerset Hills estates.
• Dealer: Coordinate with contractor during construction phase to ensure hoistway is being built per the drawing requirements and inspect hoistway after completion.

Step 5: Installation & Handoff

• Homeowner: Attain completed permit paperwork (if applicable), and attend the final review to learn how to operate and maintain your new elevator.
• Dealer: Install elevator, perform safety testing, demonstrate proper operation and ensure that applicable elevator permit requirements have been satisfied.
