What You’ll Learn
By attending this webinar, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to:

1. Plan to Prevent Costly Surprises 
   Modernization projects, particularly elevator upgrades, are prone to unexpected issues—such as underground conditions, outdated electrical systems, or hidden safety equipment problems. Thorough evaluation and planning in the early stages can mitigate delays, avoid major cost overruns, and ensure code compliance.
2. Clearly Define Scope and Budget to Ensure Project Success 
   Many projects fail or face delays due to inadequate scope definition or budget shortfalls. Learn how to ensure the scope is complete and accounts for all related work (including fire alarm systems, cab finishes, and safety components), while budgeting for contingencies, price escalation, and compliance with local regulations.
3. Manage Stakeholder Resistance and Operational Disruption 
   Modernization efforts often face pushback from building occupants (e.g. teachers, students) and disrupt normal operations. Learn about proactively managing stakeholder expectations, communicating the long-term benefits—like increased safety, efficiency, and performance—and planning for temporary operational impacts.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 30th, at 1:00pm CT!
