ELEVATORS, ESCALATORS, MOVING WALKS,
PLATFORM LIFTS
The design of a building inevitably involves providing suitable
provision for the movement of people and goods. One of the keys
to the ultimate success of a project will be the application of the
vertical transportation systems. Dunbar & Boardman is the market
leader in this field providing support and advice to many individual
and blue chip clients for over a thirty year period; services offered
for new equipment include:
DETAILED DESIGN:
Developing the right system with the right number, size, speed and types
of lifts to meet the users, residents, guests, staff and building
management’s expectations will involve the use of the latest and most
unique systems developed by the lift industry. From conception to
completion for Design & Build, Property Management and conventional
Architectural-lead schemes, the principal objective is the identification of
the client’s prime requirements and to incorporate these by proper
application of the technical, commercial, contractual and statutory
factors.
CONTRACT REVIEW
Approved contractors are invited to submit firm proposals on the basis of
competitive tendering against specification for both contractual and
technical requirements. Offers are analysed and recommendations
made. Contract negotiation meetings are organised and all details are
documented with the minutes of each meeting circulated as requested
by the client.
TECHNICAL REVIEW
Competing company’s are required to provide, on a standard format
prepared and issued by Dunbar & Boardman as part of the tender
enquiry, comprehensive technical and performance data relating to the
product being offered. This information is used during the tender
evaluation to confirm compliance with specification requirements.
NEW EQUIPMENT

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Procedures are established that define key dates and monitor
performance accordingly. During the contract period, there will be
regular meetings, as agreed and subject to the site requirements, the
purpose is to review progress and confirm satisfactory performance on
all aspects of the project. All meetings are formalised with minutes
taken ensuring decisions and instructions are formally recorded and
circulated. Inspections are made at the point of manufacture when the
producer or supplier is required to demonstrate that the product under
inspection is in conformity with the specification and will be available for
delivery as required by the programme of works.
COMMISSIONING
The satisfactory completion of any installation is demonstrated by the
examinations and tests specified in BSS and performed by the installer
at the commissioning of the work. The test is verified by conducting a
detailed examination of the installed equipment and confirmation of the
BSS Tests for and on behalf of the client.

SPECIFICATION:
The company has developed a comprehensive series of ‘proven

technology and based on safety, quality, cost and equipment longevity
selection criteria. The standards accommodate most applications and
provide for variations and alternatives so as to be flexible over a wide
range of customer performance requirements.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Any special customer requirements will be incorporated into the
specification and or contractual documentation.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Specifications, revisions to codes of practice and relevant standards are
constantly reviewed and where necessary updated and incorporated into
the relevant specification as standard.
We constantly look for innovative solutions to building problems,
including technical solutions such as destination based control systems
to improve traffic handling and reduce congestion and also process and
procedures to limit the impact of a modernisation programme on the
building and its users, such as ‘Stealth’ Modernisation, where the work is
carried out at night and the lifts restored to service for the working day.
