From Vision
to Vertical Lifts

Lyfthaus takes a truly collaborative approach to platform lift specifying, ensuring every stakeholder is involved in each bespoke project.

We work in close liaison with you to ensure the needs of the client, architect, interior stylist, product users, and building contractor are all meticulously considered.

Our collaboration also extends to the lift trade, where we often work as a third-party supplier, involving lift consultants and ensuring all technical and regulatory considerations are met.

Step-by-Step:

The Journey to Your Bespoke Lift

Initial Concept & Baseline Proposal

Most projects start with a basic design remit from the architect. This initial information may include site photographs, sketches, drawings, base product dimensions, and a description of the required design style. At this early stage, we can prepare a baseline proposal from which we will build your ideal specification.

Design Finalisation & Site Survey

As the project progresses, we’ll require architectural design drawings and a firm specification. We will conduct a site survey at the earliest opportunity to agree upon the final platform lift design. This step enables the architect to issue accurate set-out site drawings for the building company, including any necessary pit details. Materials and luxury finishes such as glass, timber, stone, bronze, and brass will be finalised.

Drawing Approval & Manufacturing

Once a final instruction has been received, our design team will issue the detailed platform lift drawings for your review and approval, a process that can take several weeks. Once the drawings are approved, the design is passed to our factory for production.

Each unique Lyfthaus platform lift is hand-crafted by expert craftsmen at our boutique Cambridge factory. Depending on the complexity of your custom specifications, the build is generally 14–16 weeks.
