Lift audit and technical assessment in Geneva and French-speaking Switzerland
A complete and unbiased diagnosis of your installation: actual condition of the equipment, compliance, safety, costs and action priorities, with a digital report within 72 hours.
The maintenance company’s annual report describes what was done during the visit. It does not say whether the installation is in good condition, whether the announced parts were actually replaced, or whether the year’s expenses were justified. The independent audit fills exactly that gap.
We intervene with no commercial ties to any manufacturer or maintenance company. The diagnosis we deliver is the one we would defend before a general meeting: documented, quantified, reasoned.
Why an independent audit changes the game
Across a portfolio of several installations, the gaps between what is invoiced and what is actually necessary quickly add up to thousands of francs a year. They are not necessarily intentional: they exist because nobody on the owner’s side has the technical competence to challenge a maintenance company.
An audit restores that competence. It gives the owner, the property manager or the architect an independent technical reading of the installation and a solid basis for everything that follows.
What a technical assessment reveals
The audit distinguishes three things that are often confused: what is dangerous, what is worn, and what is simply old. This distinction is decisive, because it allows spending to be prioritised instead of enduring a blanket work plan.
- Safety components to be brought up to standard as an absolute priority
- Obsolete components whose spare parts are no longer available
- Recurring expenses that stem from an untreated underlying defect
- Works proposed by the maintenance company that could wait, or be avoided
How the engagement unfolds
We start with the documents: current contract, latest invoices, periodic inspection reports, breakdown history. The site visit comes next, with a technical survey, tests and direct recording of every finding in our 100% digital application. We finish with a discussion with the current maintenance company, which allows the points of view to be compared.
The report is delivered within 72 hours, with a one-page summary that can be used directly in a meeting or general assembly.
Method & tools
100% digital reports with our application
On every installation, the visit is digitalised in real time with our 100% digital application, the tool we use on site. Annotated photos, measurements, findings and test results are recorded and time-stamped as the visit progresses: nothing is transcribed from memory, nothing is lost between the site and the office.
The benefit for you is twofold: a more efficient engagement on our side, and a visually clearer assessment on yours, where every conclusion rests on documented evidence.
- Faster visit and report available sooner
- Every finding is backed by an annotated, time-stamped photo
- A clear visual assessment, readable by a non-technician
- A document that can be shared directly with the property manager, the administrator or the assembly
