New Construction vs. Retrofit – Home Elevators

When installing a home elevator there are traditionally two types of installations: a New Construction or Retrofit application.

New Construction Application

A new construction application is when a home is being newly constructed with the owners having decided in the design phase to implement a home elevator. This allows the architect, designers and contractors ample time to coordinate any pre-construction requirements and implement them into the original designs for the residence. This includes any shafts, pits or machine rooms required for the desired home elevator as well as coordinating any electrical outlets and space requirements needed for the home lift.

Retrofit Application

A retrofit application is when an elevator is added to an existing home or residence that is currently occupied or has been in use. Often times, these homes were not initially designed to support a home elevator and must be modified to accommodate any pre-construction and space requirements needed to accommodate their desired home lift.residential-elevator-new-construction-vs-retrofit
