Yes. For any home elevators that require structural changes such as a shaftway, you will need a building permit. We can provide additional advice and documents as needed for your architect or builder to file the permit.

Most clients work with an architect for their home elevator project. We do offer some home elevators that do not require major renovations including the Vuelift and the Luma through-floor lift. We can advise you of the site preparation work required for your project.

Most home elevators that operate inside a hoistway require an area of roughly 5 feet by 5 feet. Compact models such as the Vuelift Mini need even less room, with a footprint of about 47 inches, and can sometimes be installed within wraparound or spiral staircases. If space is tight, our team can review your home layout and help you identify suitable options.

Yes. Many Savaria wheelchair lifts are designed specifically to handle changing Canadian outdoor conditions, and we regularly install them outside homes and buildings across Ontario. For added protection from rain and snow, an enclosure lift can be installed, providing shelter for the user while the lift is in operation.

Yes. Savaria Ontario frequently installs stairlifts in public and community buildings, including churches. Because these are public-use installations, they must be inspected and approved under TSSA regulations and may require additional installation features. We can prepare a detailed quotation that includes any requirements needed to meet these standards.
