What Is Work By Others?

The Building Side
of Every Elevator
Modernization.

Every elevator modernization includes building construction scopes that sit outside the elevator contractor's contract. That work covers electrical, fire and life safety, HVAC, and structural modifications. Locke steps in as your dedicated partner and owns every item from survey to final sign off.

The WBO scope is identified

Your modernization project requires building construction work alongside the elevator installation. Electrical, fire recall, HVAC, pit and hoistway modifications all need a dedicated contractor.

Locke takes ownership

One call. We survey the site, confirm every scope item, and take full ownership under a single contract so your team can stay focused on the elevator.
