Yes, residential elevator projects in Alberta are subject to standard municipal building permit requirements. In addition, these systems must meet ASME A17.1/CSA B44 safety standards. We work closely with you and your builder or contractor to coordinate the necessary permits for your specific location.

No, residential elevators and home lifts in Alberta do not require inspections. However, we strongly recommend routine and regular maintenance on these units to keep them operating safely and consistently.

Commercial elevators and lifts in Alberta require mandatory, scheduled in-service safety inspections conducted by the Alberta Elevating Devices & Amusement Rides Safety Association (AEDARSA) to verify compliance with provincial safety codes. These inspections, typically carried out every one to two years, include a thorough review of the equipment, safety testing, and an examination of maintenance records.

For the first inspection of your unit, we are required to attend alongside the AEDARSA inspector. Requirements can differ by jurisdiction, but the experts at Savaria Lift Alberta are here to guide you through the entire process.

Many traditional home elevator installations with a hoistway require an architect or engineer to design the shaft, confirm structural integrity, and obtain the necessary permits. In contrast, models that don’t require a shaft—such as the Luma through-floor lift or the Savaria Vuelift panoramic elevator—may not need professional design services. After a site or design plan assessment, we can help you identify the best solution for your home.

A traditional home elevator with a hoistway typically requires a 5' × 5' footprint. If space is tight, we can help you explore other options. For example, the Vuelift Mini fits into a compact 47-inch footprint and often works with wraparound or circular staircases. For two-stop installations, the Savaria Luma needs just a 38" × 47" footprint, making it a super option for retrofitting into an existing home.

Absolutely! We offer vertical platform lifts (VPL) designed for reliable outdoor performance—even in Alberta winters. We can also install outdoor stairlifts. Contact us for a complimentary consultation to find the best solution for your building and environment.

All traditional home elevators will require a shaft. You may choose to build an extension on the exterior of your home to house the hoistway.

Our enclosure vertical platform wheelchair lifts work well in many exterior applications. Capable of serving up to four stops over 23 feet (7 m) of travel, these lifts are durable, reliable, and a trusted solution for outdoor projects.

Most installations involve both a builder and an electrician. We make sure to walk you through which tasks need to be handled by others, giving you a clear understanding of the work required on-site.
