An elevator cab is not a room. It is the passenger car of a moving machine, governed by a safety code and judged every time the doors open. Vertice is the independent consultant for the cab.
The elevator cab is the enclosure that carries passengers and freight. It consists of a structural platform and frame, the interior finishes, ceiling and lighting, handrails, and the fixtures and controls. Its weight and construction must fit the elevator's rated load and applicable code, including ASME A17.1.
The contractor's specifications tend to protect the contractor. Vertice works only for the client, with 33 years in every role: sales, design, engineering, fabrication, and installation. Meet Nick Gretsuk and review notable projects.
An elevator cab consultant provides independent expertise on the design, specification, materials, engineering, and cost of an elevator cab. Vertice reviews designs, writes specifications, value-engineers the cab, and protects the owner's budget and design intent.
Budget renovations typically start around $20,000–$35,000 per cab, mid-range custom interiors run $35,000–$60,000, custom interiors $60,000–$100,000, and premium work exceeds $100,000, depending on materials, engineering, and markups.
Every elevator has a fixed rated load. Heavy finishes consume that capacity, and exceeding limits can fail inspection and force a costly redesign or counterweight modification.
