A complete and comprehensive specification is essential in obtaining competitive prices which can be fairly compared. It also insures that the end result will provide the service that is needed. If an analysis of a building has been done, based on certain performance of the elevators, then it is essential that the elevators meet or exceed the standards used in the analysis. Our specifications are quite detailed, but are careful not to restrict the potential bidders or favor a specific supplier.
Proper maintenance can prolong the useful life of your equipment, ensure safety, long-term functionality and tenant satisfaction. Before selecting any contractor, it pays to develop exact maintenance specifications, evaluate multiple providers and perform due diligence. PCG will assess your needs and preferences, develop maintenance specifications based on the building’s needs, renegotiate your existing contract or place your contract out for bid. Our experts will interview potential contractors, research violations, and ensure that your new maintenance contract and service matches your expectations and contract specifications.
A modernization or upgrade specification ensures that the contractors are pricing the same scope of work, while sending it out to bid ensures competitive pricing. PCG will develop a comprehensive report detailing the scope of work and the budget required to get the job done accurately and safely. We manage the drawing approval and fixture/cab selection phases, and finally oversee the construction phase through the completion of punchlists, providing a 100% completed project before final payment is approved.
PCG’s oversight of the bidding process ensures high-quality construction and installation at a competitive price. Throughout the construction and implementation phase, PCG oversees the work to ensure that both quality standards and project timelines are met. We are committed to preserving each building’s historical and architectural significance and minimizing the impact of installation and construction on tenants and visitors.
PCG can assist in design of elevator and escalator systems during the pre-construction phase, ensuring that vertical transportation service is able to meet demand on the first day of occupancy and far into the future. PCG makes recommendations for appropriate equipment, along with descriptions of electrical, structural and mechanical support infrastructure; and a comprehensive budget.
