Modernization program

Targeted Modernization Package

Fix what is actually failing. A focused scope for buildings whose controls, doors or fixtures are failing: a new drive, control system, doors and fixtures, while equipment that still has life stays in place.

How it works
Targeted diagnosis, targeted fix

A Targeted modernization starts with finding out what is actually failing, not assuming the whole elevator needs to be rebuilt.

01

Field diagnosis

We test the control system, doors, wiring and fixtures to separate what is failing from what still has life.

02

Scope proposal

A written scope covering exactly what gets replaced, and what does not, with the reasoning behind each line. Filings tied to the systems being replaced are handled by us.

03

Installation

New drive, controls, door operators and fixtures installed with minimal downtime, generally shorter than a Prime modernization since the machine and cab stay in place.

04

Verification

Full functional testing and code-inspection support before handover.

Scope of work

What the Targeted Modernization Package actually includes

A Brouss modernization covers two groups of equipment: the mechanical and structural components, and the controls and electrical system. Targeted completes the controls and electrical group in full; the machine, cabin and doors are retained.

New non-proprietary elevator controller
The core
The full control system, new
Everything that runs and signals your elevator, replaced.
Group 2

Controls & electrical

  • Controller, non-proprietary package
  • Wiring and traveling cable
  • Door operator
  • Fixtures: car operating panel, hall stations, indicators
  • Door equipment set: tracks, rollers, gibs, closers and safety edge
Warranty
2-year warranty on the electrical and control components, extendable to 5 years.
What drives the scopeThe right scope comes from a site survey of your actual equipment, not a template. We confirm what your building needs, quote it per project, and tell you plainly before any work begins.

Is Targeted enough?

When Targeted is not the right level

The Targeted package is sized to the systems that are actually failing. If your building looks like either case below, a different level fits better.

Old or out-of-parts equipment

If the machine, hoist ropes or cabin interior also need replacement, or the equipment is 25 or more years old or out of parts, the Prime package is the better fit.

See Prime Package

Only an open violation

If your only issue is an open violation with no functional failures elsewhere, the Essential package may be enough.

Fix what's failing, keep what still has life

Book an assessment and we will confirm the Targeted scope for your building before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about modernizing an elevator: scope, timing, code and cost.

It depends on the scope, and on parts lead times. An Essential, code-driven upgrade is a much shorter job than renewing controls, machine, doors and cabin together. You get a schedule with your proposal, including the days the unit will be out of service, before any work starts.

Not always. On smaller scopes we can often work in stages so the unit runs outside working hours. A Prime modernization does need an extended out-of-service window, and in buildings with more than one unit we sequence the work so you are never left without service.

The scope, the number of units and floors, what current code requires for your equipment, the cabin finishes you choose, and parts availability for your system. We assess the equipment first, then give you a written proposal you can compare line by line.

No. That is why we work in three levels. Essential covers what code requires, Targeted replaces the components causing trouble, and Prime renews the unit end to end. Many buildings start with a Targeted scope and phase the rest. Compare the three levels.

Yes. Bringing the unit in line with current code is one of the main reasons to modernize. We address the components that no longer comply and support you through the inspection process instead of leaving you to handle it alone.

No. We work with non-proprietary components, so your building is not tied to one manufacturer for future service, parts or pricing. You keep the freedom to choose who services your elevator later.
