ELEVATOR PLANS
There’s many design criteria that must be considered when speccing out an elevator installation. That’s why the experts at Stanley Elevator are available to help architects and general contractors understand the number, type and unique specifications of each elevator required for a building, starting with the elevator planning documents.
WHAT IS AN ELEVATOR PLAN?
An elevator plan contains all the relevant details necessary for the inclusion of an elevator into a construction project. An elevator plan drawing contains the layout of the elevator and can be outlined in CAD drawings, BIM models or through written specifications.
Well-designed elevator planning guides will contain all the necessary design criteria for architects and general contractors. In addition, they should be able to provide all other stakeholders with valuable information on the operations, specifications and features of the elevator.
Bottom line, all elevator plans are unique, which is why it’s important to work with a local, independent team of professionals like Stanley Elevator over a manufacturer.
