Why Thunderbird

What we bring to a new installation.

Solid quality

Union craftsmanship throughout. Every installation is built by union elevator mechanics with one goal, equipment that just runs at turnover, without a trail of follow-up callbacks.

Non-proprietary equipment

We install non-proprietary equipment, so any qualified elevator company can service it. We aim to earn your business every day. Stay because we earn it, not because you're stuck with us.

What non-proprietary means

On-time delivery

Your project lives and dies by promised deadlines. We plan the elevator work around your construction schedule, and we aim never to be the bottleneck.

The project

How an installation runs.

Every building is different. This is the shape of the work, not a fixed schedule.

What you won't find here is a price list or a promised duration. Both depend on the building, the equipment, and the construction schedule, and we would rather give you real numbers for your project than a range that fits nobody's.

  1. Early coordination

    Requirements for the hoistway, pit, machine space, and power are settled with the architect, engineer, and general contractor while the design can still accommodate them.

  2. Equipment and submittals

    Equipment is selected, submitted for approval, and ordered, with its lead time built into the construction schedule.

  3. Installation

    Rails, machine, car, doors, and controls go in as each part of the building is ready for them.

  4. Inspection and turnover

    The unit is tested and inspected to Texas requirements before it goes into service and is turned over to the owner.

  5. Maintenance from day one

    Preventive maintenance can start at turnover, with a company that already knows the equipment.

Bring us in early.
