The Elevator Advocacy Program

They write the contracts, proposals, and invoices — assuming no one on your side can read them.

We can. We do. Every time.

Invoice Review

Covered items billed separately. Overtime premiums on weekday work. Travel billed twice. We catch what the invoice hopes you won't.

Repair Proposal Review

Is the repair necessary? Is it covered under your contract? Is the price defensible? We answer before you authorize a dime.

Contract Review

Exclusion creep, uncapped escalation, auto-renewal traps. We read maintenance agreements the way the contractor's lawyer did.

Modernization Review

Six-figure proposals deserve independent scrutiny — scope, pricing, proprietary-equipment lock-in, and missing code items.

Savings Tracking

Every challenge, every negotiation, every dollar recovered — documented in your portal with a running savings total.

Full Advocacy Program

Continuous protection: every document your contractor sends routes through us first. You approve nothing blind.
