Chernivtsi Oblast is our second-largest region after Lviv Oblast: 27 contracts since 2017, almost all of them with hospitals. Below, in order: who hired us, for what amounts, what exactly we built there and where the work gets complicated.
27 of the 163 contracts the company has signed to date are in Chernivtsi Oblast, worth UAH 28.2 million. It is our second-largest region after Lviv Oblast and the only one where the client base is skewed so heavily in one direction: 9 of the twelve organizations are healthcare facilities, accounting for 21 of the 27 contracts.
Hospitals in Storozhynets, Zastavna and Kitsman, the city children's polyclinic, the emergency hospital, the regional diagnostic centre, the regional clinical hospital and the city dental polyclinic. There are three non-medical clients: a communal property directorate, the Chernivtsi directorate of Ukrposhta and a regional state laboratory.
It all started in 2017 with a single contract. The busiest year was 2021, with seven contracts. In 2022 work here did not come to a halt as it did in Lviv Oblast: five contracts were signed. Recent years have brought fewer contracts, but larger ones.
Every client in the oblast is listed here without exception, including those whose amounts are not flattering to show. Amounts are rounded down.
Two contracts, both for the same site: an external lift at the building at 1 Hrushevskoho St. An architectural monument, heritage protection No. 1740. Procurements in 2024 and 2026: UAH 6,351,466 and UAH 4,030,597.
The largest contract, UAH 4,700,645: a hospital lift with construction of a steel-frame shaft at the outpatient department (UA-2023-08-05-000365-a).
The largest contract, UAH 2,596,318: a lift with a rated load of 1275 kg serving 4 stops, 109 Nezalezhnosti Ave. (UA-2025-05-05-014034-a).
A lift with a rated load of 1000 kg serving 5 stops: UAH 1,570,658 (UA-2021-07-13-009560-c). The client is registered in the village of Yurkivtsi.
Three contracts with the hospital where ambulances bring patients: here the lift is a link in the route from the admissions department, not a convenience.
One contract worth UAH 1,444,917. This is the largest amount among the clients in the oblast with whom we have signed only one contract.
One contract worth UAH 1,385,173. We have no other procurements in Kitsman.
A separate client from Zastavna Multidisciplinary Hospital, even though the town is the same: Zastavna.
Three contracts totalling UAH 939,200. There are only three non-medical clients in the oblast, and this is one of them.
Two contracts totalling UAH 383,914, the smallest amount among the oblast's medical clients after the regional clinical hospital.
Five contracts for small amounts. The register lists this client in two entries with different capitalization of the name, so it takes up two places in the count of 13 clients.
Our smallest amount in the oblast is UAH 30,720. Our largest contract here is more than two hundred times bigger.
Twelve organizations but thirteen register entries: the regional clinical hospital is listed twice, with different capitalization of its name. You can check everything in the Prozorro register; how we work on public contracts is described on a separate page.
Both are telling examples, because the work there went well beyond the lift itself.
Installation of a hospital lift with construction of a steel-frame shaft at the outpatient department.
Contract: UA-2023-08-05-000365-a
Repair and restoration works to make the building accessible for people with reduced mobility: installation of an external lift at 1 Hrushevskoho St.
Contract: UA-2026-06-26-011590-a
The hospital never stops. Almost all our sites in the oblast were buildings that kept admitting patients while we worked. This dictates absolutely everything: the hours for noisy work, fencing off the work area, the route for removing construction waste, coordination with heads of departments. The technical specification usually says not a word about this, yet on site it is exactly what determines the schedule.
Figures from the design, not from a catalogue. The rated load and number of stops vary across our contracts in the oblast: 1275 kg with 4 stops at the children's polyclinic, 1000 kg with 5 stops at the Zastavna hospital. They come from the design for the specific building, not from an "as usual" wording in the tender specification, and this is exactly where the difference in the final amount comes from.
The shaft that doesn't exist. Old hospital buildings often had no provision for a lift at all, yet patients on stretchers need to be moved today. In that case the shaft is built on the outside, as in Storozhynets. From then on, the main task is no longer supplying equipment but the construction work, and the timeline is driven by it.
Approvals in the city centre. Some of Chernivtsi's buildings are listed, and an external lift on such a building needs more than planning approval alone. For the client, the practical consequence is simple: time for approvals is built into the schedule from the start, alongside the design work, rather than hoping to get through them in parallel with installation.
In the courtyard of the building at 1 Hrushevskoho St. we installed an external lift: a glazed steel-frame shaft serving four floors and a 630 kg Izamet panoramic lift. The main facade of this monument of national significance was left untouched: the shaft stands on the courtyard side, on its own foundation. All four floors of the administration building are now accessible by wheelchair.
We have written separately about how we did it and what owners of other listed buildings should take away from it.

Our largest segment in the oblast: 21 of the 27 contracts.
Including shaft construction if the building has none.
When the shaft is there but the equipment has reached the end of its service life.
Lifts and platform lifts for people with reduced mobility.
After handover we take the equipment on for maintenance. We select the model from the manufacturers we work with; we do not install Russian or Belarusian equipment, either new or as spare parts. The codes governing hospital lifts are explained on our legislation page.
No, and we are not going to invent one. Our head office is in Ivano-Frankivsk, and our only branch is in Lviv. We have been working in Chernivtsi Oblast on a travelling basis since 2017: 27 signed contracts with 13 clients according to the Prozorro register. In practice, this means we agree the survey date in advance and come once to take all the measurements, rather than "dropping by when we're in the area".
We cannot give an exact figure without a site survey, but our own contracts in the open register give a benchmark. A hospital lift including shaft construction in Storozhynets: UAH 4,700,645. A 1275 kg lift at the City Children's Polyclinic: UAH 2,596,318. A 1000 kg lift at Zastavna Multidisciplinary Hospital: UAH 1,570,658. The difference between these figures lies mainly in the construction work, not in the equipment itself. The survey and cost calculation are free of charge.
Build the shaft on the outside. That is exactly what we did at the outpatient department of Storozhynets Multidisciplinary Hospital: a steel-frame shaft, contract UA-2023-08-05-000365-a. This is no longer lift installation but construction: foundation, frame, junctions with the existing wall, power supply. Whether an external shaft is feasible for your particular building is decided by a survey: the load-bearing capacity of the wall, space for the pit, underground utilities and approvals.
Yes, we do. At 1 Hrushevskoho St. we are carrying out repair and restoration works to adapt the building for people with reduced mobility by installing an external lift; it is an architectural monument of national significance, heritage protection No. 1740, contract UA-2026-06-26-011590-a. But we should warn you honestly: restoration approval is added to the process, every fixing point on the facade has to be justified separately, and the approvals regularly take longer than the installation itself. This needs to be built into the plan from the outset.
The most common mistake in medical tenders is that the documents say "passenger lift" when the facility actually needs a bed lift. That means a different car, different doors and a different budget, and it has to be corrected at the supply stage. The core code for hospitals is DBN V.2.2-10 (Ukrainian building code for healthcare facilities), car accessibility requirements are set by DSTU EN 81-70 (EN 81-70), and for a cramped shaft in an old building the discussion starts with DSTU EN 81-21 (EN 81-21). We go through these documents on our legislation page.
We take on the maintenance ourselves, so that the warranty and the service are not split between different contractors. But we agree response times in advance and without embellishment: scheduled inspections follow a timetable and the emergency line works around the clock for sites we maintain, whereas the time it takes our team to reach Chernivtsi depends on the road, and the contract states a realistic figure.
Choose what you need: an engineer will contact you within one working day, select a model and calculate the cost.
