Elevator & Escalator Maintenance Contract Reviews
Elevator Compliance Group provides independent elevator and escalator maintenance contract review services to help building owners, property managers, institutions, and public agencies understand what they are paying for—and what they are not.
Elevator maintenance agreements are often complex, inconsistently written, and heavily weighted in favor of the service provider. Without independent review, owners may unknowingly assume risk, overpay for services, or face unexpected repair and compliance costs. Our contract review services provide clarity, transparency, and owner-focused guidance.
Why Maintenance Contract Reviews Matter
Maintenance contracts define responsibility for safety, performance, repairs, and compliance. Poorly written or misunderstood agreements can result in:
-
Unexpected repair and replacement costs
-
Gaps in safety and compliance responsibility
-
Disputes over coverage and exclusions
-
Inconsistent maintenance quality
-
Increased downtime and repeat inspection failures
An independent contract review helps owners identify risks before they become costly problems.
Independent, Owner-Focused Contract Review
Elevator Compliance Group is an independent consulting firm. We do not provide maintenance services, sell repairs, or bid modernization work. This independence allows us to review contracts objectively and advocate solely for the owner’s interests.
Our goal is to help owners understand contract language, assess whether coverage aligns with their needs, and identify opportunities to improve performance, accountability, and cost control.

-
Scope of maintenance services

Integration With Inspections & Compliance
Maintenance contract reviews are most effective when combined with inspection results and compliance data. We help owners connect contract obligations with real-world performance by comparing inspection findings, deficiencies, and recurring issues against contractual responsibilities.
This integrated approach provides a clearer picture of whether maintenance services are delivering the value promised.
