At Next Level Elevators, we know that the thought of installing a home elevator can feel daunting. That’s why we’ve developed an installation process that’s fast, simple, and designed to minimise disruption. With flat-packed delivery, no cranes required, and expert project management, your new elevator can be installed in as little as a week.
Pre-Install Survey and Planning
Every project begins with a detailed site survey. Our team assesses the space, reviews building requirements, and works with you and your builder to confirm the best solution. This stage ensures compliance with local regulations and sets a clear installation timeline.
Flat-Packed Delivery – No Cranes Required
Unlike traditional lifts that often require cranes or heavy machinery, all Next Level Elevators are delivered flat-packed. Each component is compact and easy to handle, meaning our team can transport it safely through standard doorways and into your home.
This approach avoids the cost, complexity, and disruption of large-scale equipment onsite, making the installation process simpler for homeowners and builders alike.
Installation Timeline: Fast & Efficient
Our industry-leading process means most two-storey homes can have a fully installed elevator in just 3–5 days. Larger multistorey installations are still completed in under a week in most cases.
This speed is achieved through streamlined logistics, experienced installers, and lifts designed for efficient assembly.
Minimal Building Works Required
Next Level Elevators are designed to integrate into your home with minimal structural work. For example, the Volare model requires a pit depth of just 140mm. Standard headroom requirements are also low, making installation possible in homes where space is limited.
Builders and project managers appreciate that this minimises disruption, while homeowners benefit from faster installation and reduced costs.
Local Council Permits & Compliance
In Australia, elevator installations must meet state-specific council requirements. Our team works closely with homeowners and builders in:
- Victoria – permits and compliance with local building standards
- New South Wales – council approval for structural modifications
- Queensland – adherence to state lift codes and regulations
We provide guidance and manage compliance to ensure your installation is smooth and fully certified.
Testing, Certification & Handover
Once installed, your elevator undergoes full testing, commissioning, and certification. We ensure every system is functioning to specification before handover, giving you confidence that your lift is safe, compliant, and ready for daily use.
