Societies and builders ask for "lift AMC cost" and compare quotes. Owners need to price from cost, not from the lowest bid.
Lift AMC cost: What drives the price
- Lift type and floors: passenger vs goods, traction vs hydraulic, number of floors.
- Usage and age: a busy old lift needs more.
- Contract type: comprehensive vs non-comprehensive.
- Visits and response: monthly visits, 24 x 7 breakdown cover.
- Condition on takeover: reconditioning may be extra.
Worked example (illustrative, not a market rate)
- 12 preventive visits at ₹600 = ₹7,200
- Expected breakdown visits: 4 at ₹800 = ₹3,200
- Overhead share = ₹1,600
- Parts risk (comprehensive) = ₹4,000
- Cost = ₹16,000; with a 25% margin the yearly fee is about ₹21,300
Price both options
Quote non-comprehensive and comprehensive so the society can compare like with like. See the lift AMC agreement format.
Keep real cost per contract
Track visits, breakdown calls and parts on each contract so you can reprice at renewal. ServicePilot keeps jobs and parts against each AMC contract. Read how to calculate AMC charges.
