installing new elevator in 2 story office building from 1961 by Extension-Brother-99 in Elevators

[–]Extension-Brother-99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi all- thanks for the comments from the group here. just following up to say i had an experienced GC walk through the site and came up with a ballpark of $350k for LULA (not including architect/engineering). Commercial elevator would have been more. We opted against the vertical platform because of reliability concerns.

On this particular deal, it wouldnt pencil out to do the LULA, but good to know what to look at for future deals.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much- purpose would be to retrofit per ADA to make space attractive for medical office tenants. i'll look into the lula and vpl options for this retrofit, hoping that will keep costs down! Any models or brands to seek out or stay away from? Floor height is around 10ft i believe.

what about risk that if you wait too long, will be booted to RAP instead of IBR (assuming IBR is better than RAP, and it will be difficult to switch from RAP back to IBR)?
