The Cleveland Consultant

Challenging labor markets & intense profitability pressures are plaguing US businesses, and this is especially true in the elevator industry. Elevator contractors are trying to do more with less resources, and building owners and managers are paying the price.  This is extraordinarily true in Cleveland, as there is a definite lack of local elevator consultants serving the city.  The absence of independent elevator service oversight has led to vertical transportation concerns, such as inadequate elevator maintenance, elevator performance deterioration, slow technician response times, recurring elevator violations, and extended “out of service” times.  Inadequate maintenance also affects the value of these assets. Improper maintenance reduces an elevator’s lifespan, and delayed repairs cause shutdowns, entrapments and increased liability/risk.  

As a building owner or manager, vertical transportation can be a drain on your time, energy and budget. Without oversight, elevator contractors often have inflated and inaccurate billing (may cost an additional 40% per year), and proposals from your elevator company can be remarkably above market price. You may experience continuous issues with your elevators, have a frustrating relationship with your service company, or incur unbudgeted costs and invoices.  Ritter Elevator Consulting can take that elevator maintenance management off your plate.  Clients will see real benefits immediately and will be advised continually on activities tracking progress relating to cost savings, performance improvements, and overall elevator maintenance management.

With Ritter Elevator Maintenance Management Services, you can expect improved tenant satisfaction, an advantageous service agreement, accurate and budgeted invoicing, an enhanced/more effective relationship with your service provider, and most importantly, peace of mind.
