• Turnkey “Work by Others” Solutions for Elevator Modernization

Simplifying Your Elevator Modernization Project

Elevator modernizations are complex, requiring coordination between multiple trades to meet local code requirements. Wheelhouse Construction (WHC) offers a turnkey “Work by Others” solution, managing all non-elevator contractor work to ensure seamless project execution.

Rather than juggling multiple subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire safety upgrades, trust WHC as your single point of contact for streamlined project management, permitting, and compliance.

What Is “Work by Others”?

During an elevator modernization, certain tasks fall outside the elevator contractor’s scope and require additional upgrades to meet local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) regulations. These include:

  • Electrical upgrades to power new elevator systems
  • Plumbing modifications as required by local codes
  • Mechanical improvements for system integration
  • Fire Alarm & Fire Suppression updates for compliance
  • General Contracting services for structural modifications

Coordinating these trades individually can lead to delays, budget overruns, and permitting issues. WHC eliminates these challenges with a fully managed solution.
