Architectural design input
Early assessment of available space, door arrangement, circulation, finishes and suitable lift types.
Builders & architects
Early advice on shaft, pit, overhead, access and interfaces can prevent expensive compromises later in the build.
HLS / SYDProject partnerships
We work with builders, architects, designers, certifiers and accessibility specialists across new homes, renovations, replacement projects and commercial works.
Our aim is to make the lift requirements understandable early, then remain available as the project moves from drawings to construction and handover.
Discuss a projectEarly assessment of available space, door arrangement, circulation, finishes and suitable lift types.
Pit, shaft, overhead, support, power and finishing interfaces clearly identified.
Programme, access, equipment delivery, installation, testing and handover coordinated with site.
A simpler building interface
Our aluminium E-Frame forms the lift enclosure, so the builder does not need to construct a traditional masonry shaft. The building-side preparation is straightforward when it is coordinated early.
Form the required opening through each floor in accordance with the approved lift drawings.
Prepare the set-down pit area at the lowest landing to the nominated dimensions and depth.
Where the available top-floor overhead requires it, form a ceiling rebate similar to a skylight opening.
All openings, pit dimensions, structural supports and overhead requirements must be confirmed against the project-specific lift drawings before construction.
Already designed a masonry shaft?
You do not need to use our aluminium E-Frame. Where an architect or builder has already designed a masonry, concrete or framed lift shaft, we can provide a lift package specifically coordinated for installation within that structure.
We review the proposed shaft dimensions, pit, overhead, door openings, structural supports, power and finishes early, then provide project-specific lift drawings for coordination before construction.

From excavation and penetrations to structural framing, shaft finishes and making good, responsibilities are clearer when they are defined early.
