Due Diligence for Buyers and Lenders

Elevator condition, compliance and contract review before you buy or lend.

Short answer: Elevator due diligence is a pre-acquisition review of a building's vertical transportation: equipment condition, certificate and violation status, maintenance contract terms and expected capital costs. IEI delivers it on your closing timeline so buyers and lenders can price elevator risk before they commit.

What we review

  • Certificate of operation status and open violations for every unit
  • Equipment age, condition and remaining useful life
  • Maintenance contract terms, renewal dates and assignability
  • Near-term code upgrades and modernization costs
