Our consultancy approach in the UAE focuses on:

• Vertical transportation strategies for high-density and mixed-use buildings
• Lift system performance under peak demand and destination-based usage
• Integration of lifts, escalators, and moving walkways with architectural, structural, and MEP design
• Façade access and BMU solutions suited to complex geometries, climatic exposure, and maintainability requirements

Vertical Transportation Consultancy Services in Dubai & UAE

We provide independent vertical transportation consultancy from early concept through to construction and handover, including:

• Lift and escalator system planning and optimisation
• Vertical transportation strategies for high-rise and mixed-use developments
• Independent advice free from OEM influence
• Performance-based specifications for tendering
• Review of supplier proposals and technical submissions
• Construction-stage technical support and inspections

Our approach balances user experience, system performance, capital cost, lifecycle efficiency, and regulatory compliance, tailored to the specific requirements of projects in Dubai and the wider UAE.

Lift Traffic Analysis & VT Design Advisory

Early-stage traffic analysis is critical to the success of any vertical transportation system. Our team undertakes detailed assessments to determine:

• Lift quantities, capacities, and zoning strategies
• Waiting times and handling capacities
• Peak-hour performance and future growth allowances
• Integration with architectural layouts and core planning

This enables informed decision-making during concept and schematic design stages, reducing downstream risk and avoiding costly design changes later in the project lifecycle.

Façade Access & BMU Consultancy – Dubai & UAE

Dunbar & Boardman offers fully integrated façade access and Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) consultancy, coordinated closely with architectural and vertical transportation design.

Our façade access services include:

• BMU and façade access strategy development
• Concept and detailed façade access design
• Compliance with local authority and safety requirements
• Integration with building form, structure, and roof design
• Independent review of specialist contractor proposals

This combined vertical transportation and façade access capability is a key differentiator, enabling coordinated, practical, and buildable solutions for complex building envelopes.

Independent VT Advisory for Architects, Developers & PMCs

We regularly work alongside Tier-1 architects, developers, and project management consultants in Dubai and across the UAE, acting as a trusted technical advisor.

Our independence ensures that all recommendations are made solely in the client’s interest, with no commercial alignment to lift, escalator, or façade access manufacturers. This results in:

• Clear and defendable design decisions
• Transparent tender and procurement processes
• Reduced technical and commercial risk
• Improved long-term operational performance
