Elevator companies · Real estate and construction
Get into the building at the drawing stage, and keep it with the maintenance contract.
A lift is chosen long before it is installed. The architect fixes the shaft size, the pit depth and the machine room, or decides there will be none, while the building is still on paper.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Marketing for an elevator or home lift company means being known to the architects who fix the shaft size long before a lift is bought. Sales means turning that early specification into an order, and the handover into a maintenance contract that renews. GullySales gets your drawings in front of architects at design stage, then tracks each project to order and each AMC to renewal.
A consultant or builder then shortlists brands whose car sizes and speeds fit that design. An elevator company that arrives when the structure is complete finds the decision already made.
The installation is only the start. A company earns from the same building for years through the maintenance contract, and later through modernisation. Keeping it means answering the breakdown call at night, before the association's WhatsApp group decides to switch.

How buyers decide
How elevator companies are chosen.
In new buildings, the architect and the MEP or vertical transport consultant decide the lift layout and often name two or three brands in the specification. The builder's purchase team then negotiates between them. The multinational brands are on most lists by default. A regional company gets in by sending the architect shaft drawings the same day, and by showing a working lift in a similar building nearby.
Home lifts are a family decision, usually triggered by an elderly parent who can no longer manage the stairs. The family compares hydraulic and screw-driven designs, then worries about a power cut with the parent alone inside. They close with the company that visits the site, explains the pit and the civil work, and lets them ride an installed lift.
For existing buildings, the apartment association decides at renewal time. They judge you on how many times residents were stuck in the lift last year, and how fast your technician reached the building. Nobody forgets a stuck lift. An old lift failing its inspection opens the modernisation conversation. State lift laws require a licence from the inspectorate before a lift is used, and inspection after that. Handle the licence paperwork, report every service visit, and you keep the building.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for elevator companies.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“By the time we hear about a project, the builder has already chosen a big brand”
We find out about a new apartment block when the shaft is built, and the specification already names a multinational we cannot match on name.
“Architects draw shafts that our lifts do not fit”
A practice designs a villa around another company's dimensions, and our home lift needs a different pit or headroom, so we are ruled out without being asked.
“Families love the home lift demo but worry and delay”
A family visits our display, asks about power cuts and a parent being stuck alone, and then postpones the decision for months.
“Associations switch maintenance contracts to whoever quotes lowest”
A building we installed moves its maintenance to a local company offering a lower rate, and we only learn when the renewal does not come.
“Breakdown calls are answered late and the complaints go online”
A resident is stuck on a Sunday evening, our technician reaches in two hours, and the association's WhatsApp group decides we are unreliable.
“We have dozens of old lifts in our base and no modernisation plan”
Lifts we installed fifteen years ago are due for new controllers and doors, but nobody has written to those buildings to propose it.
What we do
What we do for elevator companies.
Everything included for elevator companies, and the result each part is there to produce.
Architect design kit
Shaft, pit and headroom drawings for each model in CAD and PDF, car size options and a one-page guide to choosing a lift for a building type.
Result: An architect can draw your lift into the design without a meeting.
Specifier outreach and project tracker
A list of architects, consultants and builders in your cities, a visit plan, and a record of every project where your lift is under consideration.
Result: You hear about the building while the shaft is still on paper.
Home lift pages and family guide
Pages for each home lift type with space needs, power backup, safety features and a plain guide for families choosing a lift for an elderly parent.
Result: A family's worries are answered before the site visit.
Installed lift map and site visit routine
A list of installed lifts by locality and building type, with owners willing to host a visit, and a routine for arranging one.
Result: Buyers ride a working lift in a building like theirs before they decide.
Maintenance contract renewal routine
A renewal calendar for every building in your base, a service summary sent to the association, and a renewal proposal sent well before expiry.
Result: Associations renew on your record instead of shopping on rate.
Breakdown response and communication routine
A breakdown call log, a message to the association when a technician is assigned and when the lift is back, and a response time report.
Result: Residents see how fast you respond, not just the one bad evening.
Modernisation proposal for older installations
A list of lifts in your base by age and condition, with a written proposal for controllers, doors and safety upgrades sent to each building.
Result: Old installations become planned modernisation orders.
Report across new sales and service
Projects specified, orders won, home lift enquiries, maintenance renewals and breakdown response times, reported against the opening baseline.
Result: You can see new sales and service in one place.
How the result is measured
- Projects specified at drawing stage
- Specified projects converted to orders
- Home lift enquiries against site visits and orders
- Maintenance contracts renewed and lost
- Breakdown response time
- Modernisation proposals sent and accepted
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
