Traffic analysis
To fully address the vertical transportation needs of a building, you need to understand the building’s function, with behavioural patterns, environmental impacts, etc.
We evaluate each building, whether in operation or at the development stage, to fully ascertain the needs of the building before recommending numbers, loading capacity and speeds of lifts.
Specification writing
Whether your ARDENT survey report has recommended minor repairs, major refurbishment or full replacement, we will write a full specification to ensure contractually and technically the requirements of the building, client and passengers are adhered to.
We also write specifications for new lift installations in new buildings, ensuring the equipment installed is of the correct standard and fit for purpose.
Project overview
With the lift repair, refurbishment or replacement being undertaken, ARDENT will work closely with the lift contractor, reviewing all paperwork and technical documentation, making regular site visits to ensure workmanship and programme are in accordance with expectation.
We communicate with the client and contractor throughout this process to ensure all parties are aware of timescales and progress.
CDM principal designer role
Many lift projects undertaken on residential or commercial properties are the sole projects being undertaken on site during that time.
Subsequently, under the Construction, Design, and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015 a Principal Designer should be appointed by the client. We can operate within this role and will produce the required pre-construction plan required under these regulations.
Witness testing
At ARDENT we pride ourselves on delivering lifts that have been repaired, refurbished or newly installed to the highest standard.
To ensure these standards are maintained we witness test every lift that is returned to service, undertaking a stringent list of checks and operational assessments to confirm the lift will be returned to service in a safe and reliable manner.

Trusted feedback from our clients
See what our clients have to say about our trusted expertise and exceptional service.
We got in touch with Ardent to provide us with a full condition survey for our existing lifts.
Their findings suggested a full refurbishment of our existing lifts was to be carried out, phased out to allow for adequate spread of cost to our leaseholders.
Our site is quite complex and unique but great service has been provided at all times; Ardent were also presented with challenges and complexities, given to the nature of our listed and aged buildings.
Although we started engaging them during COVID-19 restrictions, our communication has always been very positive and productive, given attention to all key aspects of our project.
I would recommend working with them and we will certainly do so for other projects.

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.

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