Why This Matters

Lift and escalator systems represent significant assets and potential liabilities in building transactions. A building with three lifts requiring R8 million in modernization within two years dramatically affects the actual purchase price. Our assessments reveal these issues before you commit, providing negotiating leverage and preventing expensive surprises. Many building purchases have been saved or renegotiated based on our findings.
