Planning to handover

A clearer process.
From plans to lift-off.

A successful crane-in installation starts well before delivery day. The lift design, access, building preparation and site team need to be coordinated around the same project plan.

*The 1–2 day estimate covers onsite installation and tuning after crane-in at a suitable, prepared site. It excludes the other project stages described below.

01 / Review the home and intended use

Share your floor plans, suburb, proposed lift position and the levels to connect. Explain who will use the lift and any cabin, mobility or access requirements.

We discuss whether the modular product is suitable and what further site information is needed.

02 / Agree the design and project scope

Confirm the selected lift configuration, drawings, finishes and supporting works. The scope should identify who handles transport, crane and rigging, building preparation, electrical work and final finishing.

Your builder and relevant advisers need to confirm project-specific approvals and requirements before work starts.

03 / Manufacture and prepare the site

The lift and modular structure are manufactured in Australia while the agreed site works are coordinated. The building must be ready for delivery in line with the approved project drawings.

Manufacturing and freight lead times are separate from onsite installation and are confirmed for each order.

04 / Deliver and crane into position

The module is delivered and lifted into position under the agreed crane and site arrangements. Confirm delivery access, overhead obstructions, setup space and the readiness of the receiving structure before the date is fixed.

05 / Complete installation and commissioning

For a suitable, prepared site, allow around 1–2 days of onsite installation and tuning after the module has been craned in. This is an estimate for that stage, not a whole-project promise.

Design, approvals, manufacture, freight, crane work, building preparation and any remaining finishes are additional. The lift must be tested and commissioned before being handed over for use.

06 / Handover and ongoing care

At handover, confirm operating instructions, emergency arrangements, warranty documentation and the servicing plan. Ask who to contact for support and what is included in your agreement.

Retain the supplied records with your home documentation, especially if ownership changes later.

Good questions

Before you
take the next step.

Around 1–2 days refers to onsite installation and tuning after crane-in at a suitable, prepared site. The complete project also includes design, approvals where required, manufacture, transport, crane work, building preparation and finishing. Your project programme will confirm the timing.

It may be possible. The building layout, structure, landing access and path for the crane-in module need assessment. Plans and photographs are a useful starting point, but they do not replace the necessary project checks.

Responsibilities are agreed in your quote and project scope. They may sit with your builder or a specialist contractor, so do not assume those services are included in the lift supply price.

No. Crane-in is one stage of the project. The required installation, connections, testing, commissioning and handover must be completed before the lift is used.
