About the firm
An independent firm for vertical transportation
Independent elevator, escalator, and moving walk consulting for owners, architects, engineers, developers, property managers, and public-sector clients in Michigan and the Midwest.
Who the firm works for
Senawi Group Consulting LLC is an independent consulting firm specializing in elevators, escalators, and moving walk systems.
Our mission is to assist our clients with professional consulting services throughout every phase of a vertical transportation project.
We assist you in choosing your elevator, escalator, or moving walk manufacturer, and in holding the equipment you buy to what was specified.
Unlike equipment manufacturers and maintenance contractors, our recommendations are unbiased and focused solely on achieving the best outcome for our clients.
Led by Karl Senawi, Ph.D., President, the firm provides independent technical guidance from early planning and equipment selection through modernization, maintenance evaluation, due diligence, bidding, construction administration, testing, and final acceptance.
ELEVATING PERFORMANCE. SAFETY. DELIVERING SOLUTIONS.
Senawi Group Consulting LLC provides technical consulting for elevator, escalator, and moving walk systems. Our recommendations focus on safety, reliability, performance, code compliance, remaining useful life, and long-term value without affiliation to equipment manufacturers or maintenance contractors.
Engagements may involve a single equipment assessment or due diligence inspection, or continue through specifications, competitive bidding, modernization, construction administration, and final acceptance.
We work exclusively for our clients
“Successful consulting begins with listening, understanding each client’s objectives, and delivering independent solutions that create long-term value. Every recommendation should improve safety, enhance performance, and protect our clients’ investments.”
We sell no equipment and hold no maintenance contracts, so a recommendation costs us nothing to make and gains us nothing to withhold.
