Nonproprietary Elevator Equipment
What’s in it for the building owner?
Complete ownership of the elevator system. Like leasing a vehicle, when elevator equipment is proprietary, you do not own it. You can be charged for upgrades, software updates, and accrue additional service and maintenance fees. When equipment is non-proprietary, it belongs to you and the decisions are yours to make.
Choice of Service and Maintenance Provider
Any certified elevator technician can perform service and maintenance on non-proprietary elevator equipment. You are not locked into one service and maintenance provider and have the ability to collect numerous bids, breeding competition and driving down cost on bid day.
Availability of Parts
Non-proprietary equipment manufacturers stock parts for less elevator downtime and fast lead times.
Supports Local Business
Gives the locally-vetted, independent, elevator contractors the opportunity to bid the job.
