Vertical Transportation Consultancy for Residential Developments | Dunbar & Boardman
Reliable, Efficient & User-Focused Lift Design for Residential Buildings
Dunbar & Boardman (D&B) provides independent vertical transportation consultancy for residential developments across the Middle East and India. Residential projects require carefully balanced lift solutions that deliver acceptable waiting times, high reliability, cost efficiency, and resilience during power or system failures.
With over four decades of specialist experience, D&B supports developers, architects, and housing authorities in designing safe, efficient, and future-ready vertical transportation systems for low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise residential buildings.

- Morning and evening peak demand patterns
- Lift waiting time expectations and ride comfort
- High-rise residential travel distances
