Stay ahead of costly elevator issues before they become emergencies.

Join Marc Castrillon and Garry Legregni for this free, practical session designed to help building owners and facilities teams better understand, manage, and plan for their elevator systems.

From system basics to long-term budgeting, this course breaks down what you need to know to move from reactive fixes to proactive planning. You’ll gain clarity on how your elevators operate, what drives costs, and how upcoming code changes may impact your building.

We’ll also cover when modernization makes sense, realistic cost ranges, how building conditions affect budgets, and strategies to minimize downtime during construction. Plus, get a clear understanding of maintenance expectations, common contract pitfalls, and required testing—including Category 1 (annual) and Category 5 (five-year) inspections.
