Network with LiFTSYNC:
Conflict Resolution, Capital Planning, and Vendor Insight
Clarity, Confidence, and Control for your Elevator Portfolio.
Capital Planning & Budget Forecasting
With decades of estimating and portfolio planning experience, we provide accurate in-house budgets for modernizations, service programs, and repairs — informed by real market conditions. These insights help you forecast capital needs, justify decisions to ownership, and plan upgrades without financial surprises.
Contract Review & Negotiation Support
We translate complex elevator contracts into clear, actionable insights.
Our review process identifies risk areas, vague terms, and leverage points that affect your costs and outcomes. Then we guide you through a negotiation strategy that balances assertiveness with professionalism — protecting your interests while preserving a productive relationship with your provider.
Vendor Relationship & Conflict Advisory
When communication breaks down, frustration builds. We help both property teams and elevator providers identify where the disconnect lies — whether it’s internal processes, personnel changes, or unclear expectations. By facilitating transparent dialogue and new accountability structures, we help rebuild trust and deliverables on both sides.
Vendor Insight & Market Intelligence
Every elevator company operates differently — with unique priorities, staffing models, and internal pressures. We give you insider-level understanding of the organization you’re working with, helping you set realistic expectations and design communication strategies that align with how they actually function.
Elevator Coordination for GC’s, Designers, and Architects
Elevator Pre-Construction and Construction Management Services
Pre-Mobilization Coordination
We ensure the jobsite is fully prepared — confirming drawings, pit pours, hoistway layout (embeds, sump, rough openings, etc.), and site logistics such as laydown and crew accessibility before elevator work begins.
Construction Phase Monitoring
We stay involved throughout critical construction phases, providing on-site support to avoid missteps and rework.
Inspection Readiness
We guide your team through pre-inspection planning, ensuring all requirements are met and reinspection fees are avoided.
GC & Elevator Team Interface
We bridge communication gaps with clear, experienced insight into elevator contractor expectations and terminology.
ABOUT
Where elevator expertise meets relationship intelligence
Mission
To help property owners, managers, and construction teams navigate the complexities of elevator projects and vendor relationships with clarity, confidence, and control. We bridge the gap between field operations, corporate structures, and building management by bringing transparency, communication, and strategy to every phase of elevator management.
Philosophy
Most elevator challenges are not caused by equipment — they’re caused by communication. At LiFTSYNC, we believe the key to reliable performance lies in understanding how people and processes work behind the scenes. By combining decades of elevator industry insight with structured advisory and negotiation expertise, we help teams build stronger partnerships and better outcomes without blame or disruption.
What Makes Us Different
Unlike traditional consultants who focus on technical specifications or inspection details, LiFTSYNC focuses on the human and operational dynamics that influence results — corporate policies, personnel changes, internal systems, and communication breakdowns that often go unseen.
We translate that understanding into actionable strategies, contract clarity, and capital planning guidance so you can make informed, confident decisions about your elevator portfolio.

FAQs
Why spend the money on LiFTSYNC when we already have a team managing elevator scope?
Even the best project teams aren’t elevator specialists. Your PMs and supers juggle dozens of scopes — but the elevator trade runs on completely different processes, timelines, and priorities than the rest of the job.
LiFTSYNC acts as your elevator expeditor — aligning design, approvals, and field readiness with the elevator company’s internal workflow. Our experience across both global and independent providers, we know exactly where projects typically stall, and how to prevent costly rework, inspection failures, and last-minute change orders
What does LiFTSYNC actually do for contractors and developers?
We provide tools, processes, and insider knowledge that streamline every aspect of the elevator scope. Our services include:
Performance analysis & training for companies ready to improve how they manage elevator scopes long-term — including review of past projects and creation of measurable improvement plans.
Instructional IP for your team — clear, proven procedures that standardize elevator coordination.
Industry contacts to expedite problem-solving with manufacturers, inspectors, and local providers.
Technical solutions for complex site and design issues.
How much does it cost?
Every project is different. We start with a discovery meeting to understand your scope, schedule, challenges, and value opportunities. From there, we define a tailored engagement that aligns with your budget and delivers measurable ROI.
This ensures you only pay for impact, not generic consulting hours.
How do we budget for this?
Elevator delays and rework often cost far more than proactive coordination. On multi-million-dollar projects, our services typically represent less than half of one percent of total cost — yet protect your schedule, budget, and reputation
Think of LiFTSYNC as an investment in risk reduction and predictability. You wouldn’t build without structural engineering oversight — elevator integration deserves the same attention. As more GCs adopt this approach, it’s becoming a competitive standard that levels the playing field and eliminates avoidable losses industry-wide.
Where are you based?
We are based out of Washington and serve the U.S. and Canada.
What does LiFTSYNC actually do for property owners and managers?
LiFTSYNC provides independent elevator advisory services to help owners and managers make better decisions, improve vendor relationships, and strengthen communication.
We bring proprietary tools and data, including:
- A Vendor Risk Index that evaluates local elevator companies based on personnel, experience, and performance.
- Budgeting tools for accurate capital planning and modernization forecasting.
- Collaborative communication frameworks that improve coordination between property and vendor teams.
Our goal is to help you achieve transparency, fairness, and long-term reliability across your elevator portfolio.
How does LiFTSYNC help with issues between us and our elevator company?
We act as a neutral third party to identify where expectations, processes, or communication are misaligned. Then we facilitate structured conversations and create shared workflows that resolve recurring issues while maintaining positive relationships.
How does pricing work?
During discovery, we work collaboratively to define the project scope and key objectives. Once aligned, we establish measurable outcomes and determine value based on cost compared to both the tangible and intangible financial impact of achieving those goals. All of this is clearly outlined in our proposal — from initial concept to final agreement.
How does LiFTSYNC deliver results?
We combine decades of elevator industry experience with structured tools — readiness checklists, communication frameworks, and market data — to remove guesswork and replace it with measurable process improvements.
What area do you serve?
The US and Canada.
