The Silent Influence of Architects & Builders in Australian Homes

As the appointed decision-makers in building or renovating homes, architects and builders make a lot of critical decisions, including the option to include a home elevator. The recommendations made by an architect or builder involve a lot more than design and cost factors; also influencing their specifications are safety considerations and ease of installation. 

Best Home Lifts Australia

Elite Elevators Australia has developed a reputable standing among these construction professionals by entrenching world-class safety features with seamless support through a project. Supplying not just an elevator installation, but facilitating a smooth process of working together, integrating the elevator seamlessly, and providing the homeowner with peace of mind for the future. 

In this blog post, we will provide some insights into why architects and builders recommend Elite Elevators over and over again because it consistently meets building code safety requirements and provides considered design, with exceptional service that makes their client’s life easier.

What Professionals Look for in a Home Elevator

For architects and builders, selecting the right home lift is more than just a feature – it is a way to ensure you move seamlessly through a safe and successful process from concept to completion. It is always about safety. Elevators are regulated and must comply with safety standards, especially in a residential situation where families with children and elderly family members are using it every day.

The emergency communications system, backup power, hoistway door security, and overload sensors are necessary, not optional! In addition to safety and regulatory issues, ease of installation is a big consideration. Architects want elevators that fit well into their designs without major structural modifications. Builders want products that are pitless, machine room-less, have no noise, and have no complicated wiring, so installations are quick and easy and there are no annoying delays!

And finally, professional teams want a dependable partner — someone who responds quickly, supports planning, and provides great post-installation service. This support helps tremendously with hitting deadlines and keeping homeowners happy.

Elite Elevators understands these needs more than anyone, and that is why our products and services are designed to meet — and exceed — these professional expectations.

Why Elite Elevators Stands Out

When it comes to residential lifts, safety and quality aren’t just nice-to-haves — they’re essentials. That’s why Elite Elevators goes beyond industry norms to deliver products backed by world-class certifications and advanced safety features.

Our elevators are engineered for excellence, complying fully with the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN 81-41 standard. These certifications ensure that every lift delivers top-tier performance, safety, and reliability, featuring emergency backup systems, secure door operations, and smooth, controlled travel specifically designed for residential use.

What does this mean for you? Every Elite elevator comes with:

  • Emergency battery backup to safely reach the nearest floor during power outages
  • Two-way emergency communication systems to keep you connected at all times
  • Child-safe sensors and obstruction detectors that prevent accidents
  • Automatic brakes and smooth speed control for a comfortable, secure ride
  • Machine room-less designs that simplify installation without compromising safety

All these certifications and features combine to make Elite Elevators a top choice for architects and builders who demand unmatched safety, reliability, and peace of mind for their clients.

Real Words from Real Professionals

Don’t just take our word for it — architects and builders across Australia consistently praise Elite Elevators for making their projects smoother and safer.

“Working with Elite has been a game-changer. Their elevators meet stringent safety standards, and their team supports us from design to installation. It makes specifying lifts so much easier.” — Architect, Sydney

“Elite’s pitless design saved us weeks in construction time. The installation was seamless, and their customer service is outstanding. We trust them for every residential project.” — Builder, Melbourne

These professionals appreciate how Elite Elevators integrates effortlessly into modern home designs without requiring major structural changes. The compact footprint and quiet operation mean no compromises on aesthetics or comfort.

Our dedicated support team is another highlight. Builders and architects alike commend Elite for clear communication, prompt responses, and expert guidance, ensuring every project stays on track.

In the words of one builder, “Elite’s commitment to safety and service means fewer headaches for us and happier clients in the end.”

By choosing Elite, architects and builders feel confident they’re offering homeowners a premium house lifts solution — one that delivers on safety, style, and long-term reliability.

Thanks to Elite’s easy installation process, homeowners face less disruption during construction or renovation. And with our expert maintenance and support, the elevator stays safe and reliable for years to come.
