More about how we work
We don’t look at technical questions in isolation. Usage, building interfaces, operational requirements and economic conditions all inform our recommendations.
We distinguish between measures that are needed immediately and options that make sense in the long term. We set out the courses of action available and their implications, so that you can set priorities.
Our role depends on your brief: we provide an independent second opinion on a single question or support entire projects and portfolios.
Understand the technology.
Decide with confidence.
Preserve value.
Objectivity
We consistently represent your interests and assess technical and economic options against your objectives.
Transparency
We make assessments, differences and recommendations clear and easy to follow.
Sustainability
We take value preservation, operation and future requirements into account today.
Quality
We develop practical solutions that can be implemented reliably and prove themselves over the long term.
Frequently asked questions
Does VertiNova also support individual installations?
Yes. We support individual lifts and escalators as well as entire portfolios, whether for a specific question, a project or a long-term strategy.
When does an assessment by VertiNova make sense?
For example, when breakdowns occur repeatedly, spare parts become difficult to obtain, a proposal or invoice seems high, a budget cycle is approaching or a refurbishment or new-build project is planned.
Can we involve VertiNova at an early planning stage?
Yes. The earlier usage, capacity requirements and building integration are clarified, the fewer adjustments and risks arise later in the project.
Does VertiNova support public-sector clients with procurement?
Yes. We support you in defining technical requirements and award criteria and in the technical evaluation of proposals. The scope of services is tailored to your specific assignment.
Do we need to select a service before making an enquiry?
No. Simply describe your situation and objectives. We will assess your requirements and recommend a suitable approach.
Which documents are helpful for an initial assessment?
Useful documents include asset lists with year of installation and manufacturer, maintenance contracts, service and breakdown records, inspection reports, existing proposals and available plans. If any information is missing, we will complete it together as part of the assessment.
What would you like to clarify?
Do you have a specific question about an installation, an upcoming project or long-term portfolio planning? Tell us about your situation, and together we will determine the most appropriate approach.
