Custom Residential Elevators vs. Pre-Built Systems
And the debate rages on – custom residential elevators vs. pre-built systems. Which is preferable? Well, that all depends on a variety of factors. The great thing about John Christopher Construction is that we install both. If we’re starting from scratch, you can count on our team to offer complete design flexibility. This means, all our custom residential lift systems incorporate the materials, cab style, lighting, and all other elements that perfectly reflect your lifestyle and tastes.
But the excellence of our custom residential elevator design doesn’t simply address functionality. Thanks to the special touch of our design team, we consistently create an elevator aesthetic that perfectly matches the style and grace of your home’s interior. This visual harmony, of course, is the result of meticulous space planning and an unwavering commitment to seamless architectural integration.
Our Elevator Design & Build Process
At John Christopher Construction, we’ve perfected a meticulous process to create exceptional home additions such as our acclaimed custom elevators. It all begins with intensive preparation. To kick off the preparatory explorations, we deploy a carefully chosen team to conduct a complete site evaluation. During this stage, one of the primary goals is to optimize available space. As you can imagine, in-depth analysis is required to ensure accuracy.
At John Christopher Construction, perfection is our goal. Therefore, every elevator we create is custom engineered to accommodate all site parameters, creating the perfect fusion. It’s important to remember, however, that we must satisfy more than ourselves. When providing home elevator installation in Orange County, we also must satisfy the requirements of local building codes. Code compliance is duly verified through a process of permit acquisition, which we carry out with customary precision. The upshot? Our team secures all permits quickly, thereby avoiding frustrating, costly delays.
To get everything across the finish line, we utilize top-flight teams dedicated to custom fabrication and expert installation. Naturally, everything must be done right, with no loose ends. Therefore, every elevator installation is certified sound and ready to go with an intensive safety inspection that leaves no stone unturned.
Types of Home Elevators We Install
As a provider of luxury home elevators in Orange County, John Christopher Construction must accommodate a wide range of tastes, situations, and needs. Therefore, we offer homeowners a variety of high-quality choices. One of these, the hydraulic elevator, operates via a sophisticated hydraulic system. To move the cab up or down, the system relies on a hydraulic pump that raises and lowers a connected piston. The major advantages of this elevator are its durability and load capacity. As a bonus, its cab is exceedingly quiet.
Another offering in our program of custom luxury elevator installation is the Traction/MRL (machine room-less) elevator. This is ideal for homes with limited space, as it doesn’t require a separate room to store its machinery.
Finally, we can offer homeowners a shaftless/pneumatic elevator, which is ideally suited for smaller homes or retrofits. As its name implies, this elevator does not require an enclosed shaft, an advantage that allows for greater space efficiency.
ADA-Compliant Elevators for Accessibility
John Christopher Construction provides a full range of ADA compliant home elevators to accommodate aging or disabled residents. To maximize convenience and comfort, each cab offers wheelchair-friendly dimensions and easy access controls coupled with custom design that meets all local and federal codes.
Luxury Finishes and Smart Features
When it comes to aesthetics, our distinctive Orange County home elevator design surely will please the most discriminating tastes. Design elements include a full spectrum of premium materials, including high-end glass, brushed steel, and luxurious wood veneers. Enhancing these touches are a variety of custom lighting options, convenient touchscreen panels, and smooth, silent operation.
With each professional design and install of our custom elevators, we can take smart aesthetics even further by modernizing the cab with smart technology. In fact, the technology is so brainy it’ll integrate seamlessly with your existing home system.
Space Saving Elevator Solutions for Retrofits
Is your home less than roomy? Not a problem. As mentioned previously, John Christopher Construction can accommodate space limitations with shaftless models that require minimal construction. These small footprint designs are perfect for virtually any existing home.
