Your Design Intent, Protected

You designed a cab interior that belongs in the building. Then the bids come back: "can't be built," "doesn't meet code," "weight's over." Sound familiar? ​ Vertice exists to make sure your design survives contact with the elevator industry. Founder Nick Gretsuk has personally engineered and fabricated cabs for Freedom Tower, Rockefeller Center, and flagships for Gucci and Chopard — he knows exactly where designs get value-engineered to death, and how to prevent it. ​ What we do for architects and design teams: ​ • Design feasibility review — before your drawings go out. Materials, fire ratings, weight limits (yes, your stone floor might exceed the cab's capacity — we'll calculate it), ASME A17.1 compliance, and attachment details. • Specification-grade documentation — specs written to protect the design, not the contractor. No more "or equal" loopholes that turn your bronze into painted steel. • Shop drawing review — we catch what the elevator company hopes you won't. • Material and finish fluency — wood veneers, glass, metals, stone, lighting: what survives in an elevator cab and what doesn't, from someone who has fabricated all of it. ​ When others said the concealed 72" LCD behind an operable glass wall at PENN1 was impossible, we engineered it. Bring us the design everyone says can't be built.
