The Elevator Advocacy Program

Elevator companies write the contracts, the proposals, and the invoices — and they assume no one on your side can read them. We can. We do. Every time.

🧾

Invoice Review

Covered items billed separately. Overtime premiums on weekday work. Travel billed twice. We catch what the invoice hopes you won't.

🔧

Repair Proposal Review

Is the repair necessary? Is it covered under your contract? Is the price defensible? We answer before you authorize a dime.

📑

Contract Review

Exclusion creep, uncapped escalation, auto-renewal traps. We read maintenance agreements the way the contractor's lawyer did.

🏗️

Modernization Review

Six-figure proposals deserve independent scrutiny — scope, pricing, proprietary-equipment lock-in, and missing code items.

📊

Savings Tracking

Every challenge, every negotiation, every dollar recovered — documented in your portal with a running savings total.
