No internal space to work with?
You want a lift for an existing building but every internal wall is occupied and no room or corridor can be given up. Each day without a solution means another climb for your family, guests or tenants, while the standard approach is simply off the table.
The team digs the external foundations, erects the steel or glass shaft on the facade or in the courtyard, then cuts small openings to connect the cabin to each floor's landing. You end up with a working lift that leaves your interior completely untouched.

Tell us about your site
The building type, number of floors and available external space, by call or WhatsApp.
Site visit first
Our engineer inspects the facade, courtyard and ground, then decides where the shaft sits and how foundations are laid.
We propose the right solution
We present the shaft type and entry arrangement for each floor based on what the site visit shows.
Installation and handover
We complete the foundations, erect the shaft, connect it to the floors and test the lift before handover.

Can your facade carry an external lift?
Existing building, no internal space
External installation is designed for exactly this case; the shaft goes on the facade or courtyard without touching the internal layout.
Narrow courtyard or tight space
Some courtyards can take the shaft and some cannot; the site visit is what decides whether the available space is sufficient.
Multi-floor building with an open facade
We connect the lift to each floor's landing separately; the connection method and number of openings needed are confirmed after the facade inspection.

Concerns about fitting a lift on the facade
What determines the cost of external installation?
The depth of the foundations required, the shaft height, the condition of the external wall and whether it needs reinforcement before the structure is fixed to it all shape the final cost. Each site is different, so a precise figure can only be reached after the visit confirms these details.
Can the building stay in use during installation?
Most of the work takes place outside, so the interior is usually unaffected. However, when the floor entry openings are cut, residents nearby may need to stand clear temporarily. The exact schedule becomes clear after the site visit.
How much noise and dust will reach inside the building?
Because the work is external, dust and noise largely stay outside. The exception is when the floor entry openings are cut, which are small works that the team keeps as contained as possible. How much is involved depends on the building and is confirmed at the site visit.
How safe is the external lift for the family after installation?
The shaft is tested fully before handover and the fixing points to the facade and foundations are inspected. How the cabin is protected from heat and dust directly affects daily reliability. The protection specification is set according to the site and the direction the shaft faces.
How do I know this team can handle external installation specifically?
Ask how they handle the different soil conditions across Riyadh, Al Kharj and Al Muzahimiyah, and how they protect the shaft from ultraviolet exposure and dust. A team that gives you specific answers rather than general ones is a team that knows the work.

Questions about external elevator installation
Can an external lift be installed on any facade?
It depends on the condition of the external wall, the ground and the available space. Some facades need extra reinforcement and some courtyards may be too narrow for the required shaft. The site visit is what decides.
How does the external shaft handle Riyadh's heat and dust?
We choose materials and coatings that withstand high temperatures and ultraviolet exposure, and we seal joints tightly to limit dust build-up. The exact specification is set after the site visit and once we know which direction the shaft faces.
Can an external lift be added to an existing building without demolition?
In most cases yes, and that is the main reason external installation suits existing buildings. Small openings may still be needed to connect each floor entrance to the cabin, and the site visit will make that clear.
Do facade lifts need an internal pit?
No internal pit is needed, but some systems require a shallow external pit at ground level to accommodate the mechanism for the lowest floor. Its depth and specification are set by the engineer after inspecting the ground on site.
Can the external lift be installed at a building corner rather than the main facade?
Yes, a corner position works well on some buildings and may suit the available space or entry points better than the main facade. The fixing method and floor connections will differ from a standard facade installation, and the site visit is what determines the right approach.
How does the external shaft look on the building facade architecturally?
The shaft can be built in glass to blend with the facade or in painted steel that matches the building's colours. The right choice depends on the facade's character and is agreed after the site visit.
What warranty comes with the external lift?
2 years free warranty on the lift, covering spare parts and the periodic maintenance during that period. 20 year warranty on the lift machine.
