Elevator compliance & modernization for Markham buildings

Ageing controllers, rising callbacks and inspection orders are the three reasons Markham owners call us. We turn them into a phased modernization plan.

Buildings in Markham

Markham CentreUnionvilleCornellMarkville

Buildings in Markham Centre, Unionville, Cornell and Markville span several generations of elevator technology — relay controls in older towers, early microprocessor systems from the 1990s and newer machine-room-less units. Our work starts by identifying which generation you have, because that decides what can be repaired and what should be replaced.

Typical scope in Markham: new controller and drive, door operators and restrictors, hall and car fixtures, and — where needed — machine replacement. Shaft, rails and car frame are usually retained.

Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.

FAQ

Markham elevator questions

What does a condition survey include?

Equipment age and type, controller generation, parts availability, inspection history, callback log review and a recommended scope.

Do you handle accessibility upgrades?

Yes — car controls, signals, door timing and, where needed, platform or LULA lifts.

When should a Markham building modernize its elevators?

When parts for the controller are hard to source, callbacks are rising, or inspection orders keep recurring. A condition survey shows whether you're there yet.

Is there a mandatory periodic safety test for elevators in Ontario?

Yes — elevating devices are subject to periodic inspection and testing requirements under the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) as adopted in Ontario, administered by TSSA. We schedule and document required tests.

How long is each elevator out of service during modernization?

Usually several weeks per car, depending on scope. We phase multi-car buildings so at least one elevator keeps running.

Compliance

Elevator rules in Canada

Elevating devices in Ontario are licensed and inspected by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) under O. Reg. 209/01.
Design, installation and maintenance follow the CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators.
Only TSSA-registered contractors with certified mechanics may maintain or alter elevating devices.
