What should I do if I install an elevator halfway?

Residents of Building 58 in Odian Jiayuan Community, Wuxi recently reported that the elevator installation project in the building had been suspended for more than a year due to conflicts and disputes between the construction units. Residents were anxious and worried about looking at the elevator frame every day, hoping that the elevator could resume work as soon as possible to complete the installation.

Jiang observer learned that after the owner's efforts and multi-party coordination, the "rotten tail" elevator finally restarted installation. What ups and downs have the owners experienced during this period, and what reminders and lessons have this matter brought to the citizens who are looking forward to realizing the "elevator dream?

twists and turns

"I got up early and caught up with a late episode"

A few days ago, observers from Xiaojiang saw in the southern district of European Dianjiayuan that the newly installed elevator was erected on the north side of building 58. the gray facade was consistent with the color of the outer wall of the building, and the glass walls in the middle and below increased the lighting. Chen Pingzhen, the owner's representative, sighed: "The elevator is about to pass. We have been waiting for more than a year at this moment".

"at the beginning, who could have thought that our building got up early and caught up for a late show? several elevators that started late in the community were all completed early." Chen Pingzhen said that in January 2022, the owner and Jiangsu Aoxu Elevator Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the installation company) signed the "Agreement on Installation of Elevators". Construction began in April, and the foundation pit and frame construction went smoothly. The installation company in the middle changed the elevator brand, and the owner had no opinion. "At that time, the construction quality was quite good."

By July, however,The construction team suddenly came to the door to inform the owner that it was going to stop work."The person in charge said that the installation company could not continue the work without paying the wages."

At the urging of the owner, the installation company gave a project schedule on September 5, listing the process time of steel column node grinding, beam folding spraying, corridor aluminum alloy window frame installation, etc., indicating that "the elevator equipment was completed normally on October 20". Soon, a circle of scaffolding was erected outside the elevator,The construction did not materialize according to the schedule..

After several times of coordination, on October 18, the property management center of Xinwu district housing and construction bureau organized the owner, the foundation pit construction team, the installation company, etc. to negotiate and install the company.Write a letter of commitmentPromise to solve the problem and enter the construction site, but afterThere is still no substantial progress in the project..

December Xinwu District Housing and Construction Bureau Property Management Center to Find Specialized AgenciesAudit evaluation of the part of building 58 that has been constructed and installed.

In April this year, the installation company gave the owner a new construction schedule, saying it could be completed by the end of May. HoweverThe other side againThe owner felt that he had been tricked repeatedly and his trust in the installation company was completely broken.

On July 23, the owner turned to the relevant departments for help. Under the guidance and assistance of the Property Management Center of Xinwu District Housing and Construction Bureau,The owner shall pay for the restart of the installation according to the evaluation results of the elevator..

Up to now, the elevator has been installed and accepted, waiting for formal operation.

It is understood that the normal installation of elevators usually takes about half a year from the signing to the completion, while the elevator in building 58The time experienced before and after is more than 3 times that of other elevators.. Fortunately, the elevator "rotten tail" situation has finally been rewritten.

Encounter

Restart is more difficult than the original installation

"Over the past year or so, the owners in the building have been really miserable." Aunt Zhang, the owner of building 58, laughed at herself for "winning the lottery", saying that the outer wall of the staircase had been knocked off when the elevator was stopped. outside the building was the steel structure frame of the elevator shaft, and building materials and sundries were piled up in the staircase. Residents go up and down the stairs in good weather and are gray and dirty, and suffer especially in bad weather."It rains heavily outside and it rains lightly inside, the corridor is full of water, in winter gusts of cold wind poured in, sometimes the door can not be pushed open ".

In the view of the community and the property, the installation of elevators in the middle of the stoppage.There are many security risksThe north wall of the stairwell is a big hole. Residents in the building are frightened to enter and leave every day. Other residents in the community are worried that something will fall when they pass by. Property personnel are even more concerned about Building 58 in typhoon weather.

"The stairwell is windy and rainy, and our mood is also very bad. Walking in the community, we are often asked how the elevator is progressing." Chen Pingzhen said that in July last year, the previous owners in accordance with the agreement,More than 200,000 yuan has been paid to the installation company step by step.The shutdown has hit the funded owners hard. "Everyone has paid so much money that they can't waste it. They all hope this elevator can be installed." However, the restart is more difficult than the original installation. Some owners are willing to pay the follow-up expenses only after the elevator is built. They are not optimistic about the success of the elevator reconstruction. So who will take the burden?

Seeing that one year has passed, if the elevator continues to be "unfinished", I am afraid it will really be "cold". After consulting the Property Management Center of the Xinwu District Housing and Urban-rural Development Bureau, Chen Pingzhen resolutely decided to advance the fee on his own. She said that the installation company had just begun to claim that it wanted to make a model elevator. Several families in the building were unwilling to install it. The company was willing to help these families advance funds. Now these funds are all paid by her personally. In addition, the construction funds after the restart are also directly settled by the owner's representative to the construction team.Take out your family savings and pay more than 100,000 yuan in advance.Don't say,Negotiate with the installation company and construction team for three days and two ends., ask for leave to participate in coordination again and again, the time, energy and pressure spent cannot be calculated and spoken one by one.

What is unexpected is that some construction personnel who have disputes with the installation company have heard of the news, and some have never even participated in the elevator installation project of Building 58, but because they could not find the person in charge of the installation company to "rush to the hospital", Chen Pingzhen brought additional trouble.

Investigation

The company involved has a number of "rotten tail" elevator

Xiao Jiang observer inquired that Xinwu District Housing and Construction Bureau named and notified the bad installation company in late March this year. "Be alert, the following elevator installation implementation units do not recommend you to choose: Jiangsu Aoxu Elevator Engineering Co., Ltd. is responsible for the implementation of the European Dianjiayuan 58 elevator installation on March 29, 2022 to complete the approval, so far the construction has not been completed, and caused a large number of complaints......"

The staff said that after a detailed investigation of the installation of the No.58 elevator in European Dianjiayuan, it was found that the elevator was installed by the builders.The performance of the installation company is poor, and there are many "rotten tail" elevators in the urban area..

To this end, in addition to interviewing Aoxu Elevator Company, the Property Management Center of Xinwu District Housing and Construction Bureau also coordinated the owner's representative to select an engineering audit company to conduct an engineering audit on the completed project of Aoxu Elevator Company and determine the project cost. Under the condition that the company was unable to perform the contract, the property management center of Xinwu district housing and construction bureau coordinated the builders of unit 58 of European Dian home to clarify the construction requirements of the subsequent project through wechat, the actual controller of aoxu elevator company, and the elevator installation wechat group, and directly paid the relevant project expenses to the actual construction personnel of the elevator installation to promote the elevator installation.

As for the cause of the "unfinished" elevator, the relevant person in charge told Xiaojiang observer that the company had inquiredNeither has the construction engineering qualification, nor the elevator maintenance qualification. The company subcontracts the foundation, steel structure, elevator installation and other projects to different construction teams, collects a deposit of 200000 yuan from the construction team, and then does not pay the construction cost, and continues to introduce new construction teams to collect the deposit when problems have occurred, resulting inThe economic disputes between the construction unit and the installation company continue, which ultimately affects the installation process and the interests of the owners..

How to avoid and save the ladder "rotten tail"

Tang Xiaoyan, director of the Jingdu Community Neighborhood Committee, said that at present, more than 20 elevators have been installed in Odian Home, involving a number of companies. The community daily accepts residents' consultation on the installation of elevators, and also participates in some coordination on the installation of elevators. With the increase in the installation of elevators in recent years, we have gradually accumulated experience and lessons to avoid the problem of "unfinished.

Judging from the actual situation, in order to attract owners, some installation companies will offer a total discount of 10 thousands or 20 thousands yuan or advance some funds, which sounds very attractive. However, residents are advised to choose carefully and pay more attention to the strength of the installation company than to the quotation."It is very important to choose a good general contractor, and there should be a qualification for backing.". In the process of installation, the ownerDo not pay in advance or in excess of the planned proportion when you see the preferential benefits to avoid unnecessary losses.. If you encounter difficulties, on the one hand, the owners should have transparent information and sincere unity, on the other hand, they can seek help from relevant departments to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Zang Huawei, deputy director of the Property Management Center of Xinwu District Housing and Construction Bureau, said that after the official operation of the No.58 elevator in European Dian Jiayuan, the approval will be completed as soon as possible to issue subsidies for the installation of elevators to the owners. The elevator is used by swiping card or brushing face. Emergency calls and public videos are installed in place. Owners can negotiate and settle the remaining expenses according to the expenses paid in advance and the willingness to use the elevator. At the same time, the housing and construction department will support the owners to complete the elevator closure from the aspects of policies and regulations.

Zang Huawei said that there are certain risks in the "unfinished" elevator, and it is not easy to rebuild it. The "bone" can be gnawed down by No.58 European Dian Home, which is of enlightening significance to other owners who encounter the problem of installing elevators in existing houses.

First of all,The owner has played a big role in saving the "rotten tail" elevator.One or more enthusiastic owners are needed to stand up and take the lead, and participate in the whole process to solve many issues such as fund advance payment and contact between all parties encountered in the process of restarting the construction.

Secondly, combined with the specific causes of the elevator "unfinished", the owner of Building 58Effective cutting of construction cost paymentsTo avoid further expansion of the loss, but also to promote the follow-up construction links steadily implemented.

In addition, elevator installation, use and maintenance are very important. In view of the various performances of the installation company, the property management center of Xinwu District Housing and Construction Bureau coordinated in a timely manner.Elevator installation and maintenance unit changedTo ensure the safe and smooth operation of the elevator in the future. In view of the performance of the elevator installation company, the property management center of Xinwu district housing and construction bureau will further strengthen information communication with streets, communities, etc. and social publicity, so as to facilitate citizens to make their own reference and choice when installing elevators.
