We contacted Ardent Lift Consultancy to undertake a survey of the 8 lifts serving the estate at St Charles Hospital. Their survey report identified the different designs, ages, and condition of the lifts at the property, and they produced different recommendations for each lift on this basis.
Ardent were instructed to specify, tender and project manage this complex and varied contract. They delivered a well-managed project, which came in on time and under budget

We were delighted with both the quality of the final outcome and the management of the work-programme.
The project was only a week behind schedule, which is nothing given its complexity.
After a few minor teething issues we have a lift, which looks as beautiful when it was originally installed, but now moves with the smoothness of a modern one.

I must say the implementation of this lift project is a fantastic example of excellent project teamwork between all parties concerned.
Well done everyone!
