Here are the details
1. Before order confirmation.
Preparation from the elevator company side.
1.Ensure the elevator shaft / hoist-way readings obtained from the customer are correct.
If the building is ready, Do a site visit and have a detailed study of the elevator shaft / hoist-way.
Like
1. Floor to floor distance
2. Shaft width and depth in each floor
3. Any projection in the shaft.
4. Pit height available
5. Head room height.
6. Entrance wall measurements
7. Entrance lintels measurement.
8. Machine room measurements / Cut out measurements, if its a Machine room lift/elevator.
9. If Machine room less elevator, study of the headroom area.
If the site is not ready collect all the details from the customers building drawing.
2. Arrange a meeting with the customer ( Engineer/ client ). Let the customer understand, what are the options / choices the company can offer. The scope of work if the order is finalized have to be discussed with the customer. Normally the scope of work involves

3. Shaft and machine room painting
The shaft and machine room have to be painted while unless its a glass elevator. This is done because the elevator shaft is a closed place. So more light and the visibility the better. For the maintenance purpose this is very important. The painting will reduce the dust generated as the elevator moves up and down in a closed shaft.
4. Shaft and machine room lighting and socket fixing.
Shaft and the machine room need to be lighted for the installation commissioning purposes of the elevator, as well as for the future maintenance
Also need to provide the power socket outlets for installation and the maintenance purposes. The position of the shaft lights and sockets are to be fixed after confirming the drawing and the order. Normally every floor there will be a lighting and the socket points. one at the bottom most pit, one at the headroom and two in the machine room.
5. Provision of air conditioning the machine room need to be finalized considering the average atmospheric temperature.
6. Scaffolding installation
7. Delivery date need to be discussed
8. Storing place availability with lock need to be discussed.
9. Site preparation according to the drawing need to be discussed.
10. Ladder to machine room, machine room door are to be discussed.
These items need to be discussed with the customer and finalize the scope matrix.
