Clear scope, clear price.
A lift should bring confidence, not billing disputes. This is how we keep the price and the scope plain from the first quote to handover.
A written quote, not a phone estimate
We do not give blind estimates over the phone. We study your plan or visit the site, check the structure, and then issue a written quote.
- Bracket fixings, safety switches and the emergency call system are part of the lift, not extras added later.
- Once you approve the general arrangement drawings and pay the advance, the quoted price for that scope is fixed. Changes you ask for later are priced and agreed in writing first.
Who does what: HLA and your civil contractor
Most surprise bills come from an unclear line between the lift work and the building work. Here is how we draw it.
Supplied and done by us
- Lift car, guide rails and frame
- Hydraulic cylinder and power unit
- Control panel and wiring
- Landing and car door mechanisms
- Mechanical erection and testing
- Commissioning and handover
Building work on your side
- The shaft or stairwell opening
- A level pit floor, to the depth in our drawing
- A single-phase power point at the lift
- RCC lintel beams over the door openings
- Final plaster and wall finish
- Marble or granite door surrounds
Where a lift is supplied with a steel and glass shaft, the shaft moves into our scope. It is written into the quote. The door preparation guide gives your contractor the details.
Who does the work
HLA has worked in hydraulics in Visakhapatnam since 1990, and has built lifts under the HLA Lifts name since 2014. We design the lift, check it and commission it. Some jobs, such as fabrication and masonry, are done by subcontract partners. You deal with one company, and the contract, the quality checks and the handover remain with HLA.
Payments that follow the work
We do not ask for one large payment at the start. The stages follow real progress.
- Advance. Confirms the engineering and starts fabrication and the ordering of components.
- Dispatch. Due when the lift parts, rails and car frame pass our workshop inspection and are ready to go to site.
- Erection. Due as the mechanical assembly proceeds on your site.
- Commissioning. Due once the lift is running, load-tested with you present and handed over with its documents.
