Miscellaneous

• Care should be taken by other subs not to damage wiring we install, this usually occurs when drywall & trim work is done.
• If painting or spraying is to be done in the hoistway, our equipment should be covered to keep overspray off or we will ask that equipment be cleaned off by other
• All wall patching, painting and grouting by other
• As the elevator is installed, we hold the contractor responsible for damage to our equipment by other subs.  This is beyond our control since we are not on the job each day.
• We mention the above because we feel this information will help in the installation process of the elevator in addition to keeping back charges down should we have to do the work twice
• Construction use of lift is by signed release only

We are always available for consultation.  Please call if there is a question or change in specifications needed!
