1. Benefits: It is convenient for high-rise owners to go upstairs and downstairs, especially those with elderly people at home. High-rise houses have a lot of room for appreciation. The whole house looks more beautiful and high-end.
2. Disadvantages: Except for the first floor, the owners of other floors have to share the installation fee. Add an elevator to the old building, because the quality of the old building itself is not good, adding an elevator will increase the bearing capacity of the building and cause potential safety hazards. Installing elevators will affect the lighting and ventilation of the house and increase noise pollution, especially for the owners on the first floor. After the warranty period of installing the elevator, if there are problems in the elevator in the later period, a lot of maintenance costs will be incurred.
How to install the elevator in the old building
1, with the consent of all owners.
At least two-thirds of the building owners agree. Because installing an elevator will involve a lot of expenses, including installation fees and elevator maintenance fees. These costs are large and need to be borne by the owner. Moreover, installing elevators not only facilitates residents' travel, but also affects residents. Elevator operation will be affected by noise, and the elevator shaft will block some light.
There should be a sponsor of this matter, which can be the neighborhood Committee, the property and the owner. It is suggested to set up a project preparation team to take the lead, because it involves many departments and things, such as soliciting the opinions of all owners, cost sharing, filing and approval with housing construction and quality supervision departments.
2, approved by the higher authorities.
The installation of elevators in stairwells will involve the safety of houses and should be reported to the Planning Bureau and the Housing Authority for approval.
3. Analyze the feasibility of the scheme.
Every city has strict requirements for installing elevators in stairwells, such as elevator patio, fire fighting, building, etc. Some old staircases are dense and do not meet the requirements of installing elevators, so when installing elevators, the feasibility should be analyzed first.
4. Share the elevator cost
It costs hundreds of thousands to install the elevator, and the cost is of course shared by the owner. This is a big event, and it can only be carried out after obtaining the consent of all the owners of the whole building. There is also the principle of sharing costs. Generally, there are more elevators at the top, so I pay more, and the ones below are lower. If it's the first floor, I don't have to pay.
5. Find a suitable elevator installation company.
