Talking about the two difficulties that bear the brunt of installing elevators in old buildings

The industry believes that the installation of elevators in old buildings is a long-term process, from the beginning of preparation, to the construction process, to the protection and maintenance after being put into use, the period can be as long as 20 years. During this period, installation costs and long-term protection costs will be incurred. When the owner signs a contract with the company, the ownership of the property rights, various fees, the duration of the contract, who is responsible for the daily handling of the elevator after the expiration, and who is the maintenance company, how to deal with the damage of the elevator, etc. All needs are reflected in the contract, involving the economic benefits of the elevator, and should be clearly agreed in the contract, so as not to produce glue in the future.

      The first difficulty is the inconvenience of staggered and half-floor floors. The opinions of the owners have always been very difficult.

      The first is the problem of flat households. Now they are all split-level tenants, which is still very inconvenient. The elevator can be accessed through the kitchen or balcony, and the flat floor can be accessed by adding a little area.

      The second is the contradiction between harmonious merchants, especially the contradiction between the first floor and the second floor, because they do not need to do so. Although more and more elevators have been installed in the old residential areas, the installation of elevators has been suspended on the way due to discrepancies. Communication between the bottom owner and the top owner is generally a bit difficult.

      It is estimated that in 2020, the elderly population will reach 1.6 million, accounting for 25% of the total urban population. Perhaps in the future, the issue of installing elevators will still be the focus of harmony between upstairs and downstairs. It is difficult to communicate with the owners, and their opinions are not unified. This is the primary difficulty in installing elevators in old buildings.
