Our Lviv branch has been operating since 2017. Everything below is not self-promotion but what anyone can see in the open procurement register: who hired us, for how much and what exactly we did.
The company was founded in Ivano-Frankivsk and its head office is still there. But as things turned out, most of our work is in Lviv Oblast: 110 of the 163 contracts we have ever signed are in the Lviv area. In money terms, that is UAH 138.7 million.
It started with housing. In 2017 we won our first tenders from Lviv's district administrations to replace lifts in apartment blocks, and since then we have worked in the city every year except 2022, when almost everything came to a halt. Hospitals followed, then Ministry of Defence sites, then Drohobych, Stryi and Truskavets.
Driving a crew a hundred and seventy kilometres every day is not an option, so we have a separate branch in Lviv at 51a Lisna St. This means a site survey in the city is a matter of a day or two, not a week, and an emergency call is not held up by the journey.
The register shows completed contracts. Here are three Lviv projects in progress in November 2026.
The building is historic and has no free space for a shaft. After two site visits with measurements, we worked through five options for locating the shaft. The best turned out to be one where the lift reaches the fourth floor through the existing extension above the foyer. We are now agreeing the design solution with the theatre.
For this client we have already done the lifts and the admissions department; now we are renovating the surgical department's operating suite: building services, HPL panel walls, suspended ceilings, and X-ray shielding for the new X-ray operating room with shielded doors and a control room viewing window.
A 630 kg machine-room-less lift with four stops, in a steel-frame shaft with a roof. The client is welding the frame themselves, so we produced working drawings for it based on the building's actual levels: the factory section drawing did not match the real floor heights, and the guide rail brackets had to be recalculated.
This list is compiled from the Prozorro register, not from memory. Every line can be checked: the client, the number of contracts signed and their total value. Amounts are rounded down to the nearest hundred thousand.
Shevchenkivskyi, Frankivskyi, Zaliznychnyi, Lychakivskyi and Halytskyi districts - lift replacement and repair in residential buildings. Our largest area of work by number of contracts: 62 since 2017.
The regional phthisiopulmonology (TB and lung disease) centre in Vynnychky. Lifts, an emergency admissions department with a ramp and access road, a reprocessing (sterilization) department, roofs. The client we have worked with longest without a break.
City level: emergency restoration work and lift replacement where the condition of the equipment could not wait for its scheduled turn.
Ministry of Defence sites. Among them is the reconstruction of a military medical commission dormitory, with a lift shaft added to the existing building.
Hospital (bed) lifts in a polyclinic that keeps seeing patients while the work is under way.
The lift fleet of Stryi's central hospital.
A resort building: a restricted-access facility with its own site access procedures.
An academic building in the city centre - with all the constraints of a historic setting.
A municipal enterprise of the city.
These are nine of our sixteen clients; the rest are smaller in volume. The full list with contract numbers is publicly available in the Prozorro register. How we work on public contracts is explained on a separate page. Other regions: Chernivtsi, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk.
Lviv is a city with old housing stock, and that is not an abstraction but a real cost. The most common surprise during a site survey is a shaft that matches no standard size, because the building was put up to a one-off design or rebuilt in the nineties. Then the lift has to be chosen to fit the shaft, not the other way round, and that immediately means a different delivery time.
The second issue is the pit. In many buildings the pit below the lowest floor is either not deep enough or has been flooded for years by groundwater and leaking utility lines. Waterproofing the pit is separate work that clients usually have not budgeted for, and it is better to find out about it during the site survey than at the installation stage.
The third is the city centre. In a protected historic area, the decision on a lift has to be agreed not only with the urban planners but also with the cultural heritage protection authority. We have been through this at the Academy of Arts on Kubiiovycha St. and on a number of residential projects. Approvals here regularly take longer than the installation itself.
And the fourth, the simplest on the face of it: the building is occupied. One entrance, elderly people on the upper floors, someone with a bedridden relative. This is not a technical problem but an organizational one, yet it is exactly what derails schedules. We plan the work so that the staircase is never out of use and residents know the dates in advance, and we give realistic timelines before the contract is signed, not after.
Official letters on letterhead, signed and stamped. Of the four reference letters we have, 3 are from Lviv clients.

2019Lifts in Lviv's residential buildings are maintained by different organizations, and each has its own emergency service. Its phone number should be on a sign in the car or next to the lift on the ground floor. If someone is trapped and feels unwell, call 112 without waiting for the lift technicians. Do not try to force the doors open yourself or climb out of a car stuck between floors: that is more dangerous than waiting.
If we maintain the lift, call our Lviv branch. And if your lift keeps breaking down and your homeowners' association is thinking of changing its maintenance contractor, we will come, inspect the equipment and tell you what is really wrong with it: where a repair will do and where replacement is already needed. The inspection and quote are free.

Both. Our head office is in Ivano-Frankivsk, and in Lviv we have a branch at 51a Lisna St. Our installation crews are based there too, so a site survey anywhere in the city is a matter of a day or two, not a week. We have been working on Lviv projects continuously since 2017.
The honest answer: we cannot give an exact figure without a site survey, because the difference between "replacing the car and traction machine in a sound shaft" and "rebuilding a shaft that has been flooded for twenty years" is several-fold. Our own contracts in the open register give you a guide: each one shows the scope of work and the amount. We carry out the site survey and quote free of charge.
Often, yes. This is called an external (add-on) lift shaft, and we have done this kind of work, including on a Ministry of Defence site in Lviv where a shaft was added to an existing building. But the deciding factor is not what you would like, it is the structure: the load-bearing capacity of the wall, space for the pit, underground utilities and approval from the urban planning authority. That is why everything starts with a site visit and survey, not with a quotation.
We do, but with a clear idea of what it will involve. In a protected historic area you also need approval from the cultural heritage protection authority, and the solutions are often non-standard: a panoramic car so the stairwell does not feel boxed in, or a machine-room-less (MRL) lift because the attic cannot be touched. Approvals here take longer than the installation itself, and this has to be built into the schedule from the start.
Yes. Legally, an OSBB is a fully fledged client: it signs the contract, accepts the works and handles putting the lift into operation. The only differences are where the money comes from and that all decisions are made by the general meeting of co-owners. We work in this format and prepare documents so that they are clear to the board chair, not just to an engineer.
For lifts we maintain under contract, yes: emergency calls are handled by the Lviv branch, and the crew comes out from Lisna St., not from Ivano-Frankivsk. We do not open other companies' lifts without a contract: the keys to the machine room and responsibility for the equipment lie with the organization that maintains it. Look for its phone number on the sign in the car or next to the lift on the ground floor.
Dismantling and installation in a sound shaft take roughly three to four weeks per lift. Then comes the full technical inspection and putting into operation, and this is what most often stretches the timeline, because it depends on the inspection body's schedule. If the shaft needs repair, or the building is occupied and has only one entrance, it takes longer, and we tell you so before signing, not after.
Choose what you need: an engineer will contact you within one working day, select a model and calculate the cost.
