Luxury Hotel Group add Disabled Access to the menu
Luxury Hoteliers Paramount Group and their architects were poised with providing disability access at their newly expanded Chesford Grange Hotel located in Kenilworth.
They were on a very tight time schedule and needed to open the store within five weeks of taking possession of the premises.
Why The Disability Access Company? - They choose The Disability access Company because we are a UK based manufacturing company who could produce the lift on time, within budget and to a very high specification in keeping with the aesthetics of the store.
The Spec - The Disability Access Company were given the brief to design a bespoke, fully glazed, freestanding lift that needed to travel 3420mm positioned in between two staircases all delivered, installed and commissioned in four weeks.
The lift needed to meet all the relevant Standards and Directives to ensure that the store met the DDA requirements.
The Access 9000 Vertical platform lift was chosen.
The Solution - The Disability Access Company had manufactured similar bespoke lifts in the past so were able to produce a unit to the client's requirements.
The lift was positioned in between two existing staircases with no structural opening or support required.
This meant that no builders' work was needed to accommodate the lift thus minimizing cost and reducing the site time required.
The Schedule - The Disability Access Company completed the installation before schedule giving the client a valuable few extra days to be able to prepare themselves for their shop opening.
After Sales - The Disability Access Company provide the first twelve months full parts and labour warranty in with the price of the lift (including two service visits) and are able to offer a complete range of service options including a 24/7 365 day call out if necessary.
This ensures customers have many years of complete satisfaction, safe in the knowledge that they have chosen the right product, for the right purpose, at the right price!.
