New installation feasibility
Where an elevator can fit in an existing building and what structure must change to receive it.
Consultation
Elevator Structural Consultation
Use this page when the project involves installation, replacement, modernization, shaft changes, pit work, support steel, or existing-building constraints that need building-side structural coordination in NYC.
What to prepare
The most useful starting package is the current scope description, existing building drawings if available, photos of the existing shaft or proposed location, and any indication that pit depth, overhead clearance, or support steel may change.
Common consultation topics
Modernization constraints
Whether the existing shaft, pit, and support condition still work for the revised equipment.
Filing coordination
How the building-side structural scope should be documented for the broader project team.
