Use this component to enter the number of freight elevators with power doors, and optionally the number of stops per elevator. If you do not enter the number of stops, the number of stops is automatically set to the number of stories in the Section.
For freight elevators with manual doors, use component (Freight Elevators with Manual Doors). For passenger elevators, use component 651 (Passenger Elevators).
Note: The Marshall Valuation Service automatically includes elevators in the cost for some occupancy, class and quality combinations. However, Commercial Estimator does not automatically include elevators in any occupancies. You must use one or more of the elevator components to include elevator costs in the report.
Base your quality selection on the quality of the elevators (not necessarily the quality of the building) using the following:
Low: Small capacity, slow speed, simple systems, such as those typically found in low-rise multiple residences.
Excellent: Better quality elevators with a large weight capacity and higher speed, such as those typically found in high-rise office buildings.
Enter the following for this component:
Number of Elevators: 1 - 200
Number of Stops per Elevator (Optional): 2 - 200
