Trusted by Leading Developers
Our Methodology

Our Structured Consulting Process

We guide projects seamlessly from initial architectural flow concepts to long-term post-construction elevator safety inspections.

01

Feasibility & Peak Flow Analysis

We analyze occupant density rules, calculate cabin load profiles, and run advanced traffic simulations to size shafts before structural engineering layouts are finalized.

02

Technical Design & Tendering

We draft technical specifications, calculate electrical grid loads, and formulate complete tender bid files, providing unbiased reviews of bidder configurations.

03

Supervision & Final Audits

Our engineers perform material delivery audits, installation spacer checks, speed governor drop tests, and continuous monitoring during the Defect Liability Period (DLP).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find professional answers to standard questions regarding vertical transit design, inspections, and project coordination.

An independent VT consultant does not manufacture or install equipment. This ensures that layout designs, system capacity sizing, and developer tenders are completely unbiased. Unlike manufacturers, AVD designs solely to optimize your building core efficiency and reduce equipment procurement costs.
Ideally, vertical transit traffic analysis should occur during the concept and schematic design stage. Doing so ensures that the building’s core structural shafts, electrical layouts, and lobby spacing are sized correctly, avoiding extremely expensive structural changes later in the architectural cycle.
We perform a comprehensive mechanical and software audit. This includes measuring elevator speed, vibration profiles, door-open delays, and emergency brake stop distances. We compare results against the original layout designs and EN 81 safety codes to diagnose controller issues or guide modernization strategies.
Our facade maintenance audits cover BMU cradle load safety calculations, roof track structural alignments, facade anchor placements, and drop-prevention mechanical tests. We verify facade design compliance with European standards to ensure absolute safety for external maintenance crews.
