Reserve the right location early
New construction makes it easier to coordinate a vertical path before framing and finishes are locked in. The best location should work structurally and connect naturally to the spaces the household uses every day.
Coordinate the trades
Residential elevator projects can involve the builder, elevator provider, electrician, architect or designer, and finish trades. Clear product requirements help those teams coordinate openings, supports, power, doors, landings, and finish interfaces.
Plan for future use
If long-term accessibility is part of the goal, consider likely mobility-device use, caregiver access, and the route between bedrooms, garage, kitchen, and other primary spaces.
