Education lift consultancy

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

Today I attended the handover of the third and final refurbished lift at St Leonards. It was a pleasure to see previously dilapidated, unreliable lifts in such a good condition.

The construction works led by Martin Meltzer, Site FSM Tony Bryan together with the concise and fundamentally wholesome scope developed and managed by Chris Eaton of Ardent allowed PIP lifts to execute such works.

This investment has the patient at the centre of its rationale providing safe, compliant, reliable lifts within a much-needed local healthcare resource in the heart of Hoxton. It also illustrates the great collaborative work between FM Ops and Construction. A great all-round effort with a patient centric result.

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.
