BTA provides comprehensive elevator maintenance analysis which includes an examination of the elevators conditions, maintenance history, and ongoing schedules to optimize the equipment’s performance and lifespan. The BTA on-site survey concentrates on the following items:

• Status of the maintenance service with respect to the overall condition of the equipment, call back frequency, contractor’s records and general upkeep of the job-site per contract specifications.
• Review test reports and equipment test tags to ensure that all required testing is current and no outstanding deficiencies exist.
• Review the status of any known city, county or state notifications of violations.
• Perform standard performance testing to ensure that all units are operating at designed contract speeds with no defects in ride quality, floor leveling or door operation.
• Perform standard corridor call response time evaluations to determine dispatch efficiency.
• Review questionable charges for additional services rendered as well as new work proposals.

Our written analysis includes:

• Rating of current contractor’s maintenance program with respect to the existing contract.
