Expert Elevator Delegated Design Services for Seamless Project Execution

At Mountain Cross Consulting, we provide expert elevator services, ensuring every aspect of your vertical transportation systems meets industry standards and project requirements. Delegated design is a specialized approach that shifts responsibility for certain design elements to a consultant with specific expertise. In the case of elevators, this means taking on the critical task of designing and engineering your elevator systems to integrate with your building's architectural and mechanical plans seamlessly.

What is Elevator Delegated Design?


Elevator delegated design involves transferring the responsibility of certain engineering and design aspects of an elevator system to a specialized consultant, such as Mountain Cross Consulting. While architects and general contractors focus on the broader scope of a building project, we take charge of the intricate design details required to ensure your elevator systems are both safe and efficient.


This delegated process includes:

  • Load calculations
  • Shaft sizing and placement
  • Coordination of mechanical, electrical, and structural interfaces
  • Code compliance and accessibility considerations


Our expert team collaborates closely with your project’s architects, contractors, and engineers to ensure every aspect of the elevator design integrates flawlessly with the overall building plan.

The Importance of Delegated Design in Elevator Systems

Elevators are critical infrastructure for any multi-story building, and poor design can lead to inefficiencies, safety risks, and increased operational costs. Delegating the design of your elevator systems to experts like Mountain Cross Consulting ensures that these crucial elements are handled with precision and expertise.

Precision Engineering for Optimal Performance


Designing an elevator system requires specialized knowledge of not just architectural design but also mechanical systems, electrical requirements, and user traffic flow. Our team conducts detailed assessments of your building’s structure and elevator traffic patterns, ensuring efficient movement of passengers and optimal use of elevator shafts. Given that elevators consume between 2-5% of a building’s energy, our designs emphasize energy efficiency to help reduce operational costs and environmental impact.


By relying on a delegated design, you benefit from precise engineering that improves the overall performance and longevity of your elevator systems.

Compliance with Local and National Codes


Elevator systems are subject to strict building codes and safety regulations. Mountain Cross Consulting ensures your elevator design complies with both local Nashville ordinances and national standards such as ASME A17.1 and ADA accessibility guidelines. With elevator-related incidents resulting in approximately 30 fatalities and over 17,000 injuries annually in the U.S., our commitment to safety and compliance is unwavering, ensuring that every system we design maximizes safety and reliability. We take the guesswork out of compliance, offering:


  • Code compliance audits
  • Safety inspections
  • Accessibility evaluations


We stay current with all elevator regulations to ensure your system is always safe, reliable, and up to code.

Seamless Integration with Building Design


Successful elevator design requires seamless integration with a building’s mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. Our consultants work directly with your project’s architects and engineers to ensure that the elevator fits within the building layout while also aligning with critical systems such as HVAC, plumbing, and fire safety infrastructure. Our process includes:


  • Coordination with building architects
  • Collaboration with mechanical and electrical engineers
  • Evaluation of structural load-bearing needs
  • Incorporation of modern safety features


Our collaboration ensures the elevator design is efficient and seamlessly integrates into the building’s infrastructure.
