Self-built houses have high floors. Can you install a small elevator yourself?

With the improvement of living standards, many people choose high-rise buildings or single-family villas with elevators when choosing houses, but now many people are considering building houses in the suburbs, a little higher, and have also considered installing a small elevator themselves. Then, can a self-built house that is generally higher than two or three floors be equipped with a small elevator?

If you want to install an elevator, you must first look at whether it meets the defined standards. Not all self-built houses can be equipped with elevators. The definition standard in the industry is that the height of each floor is greater than 16 meters before it is recommended to install elevators. In other words, the height of each floor is three meters, and elevators can only be installed on more than five floors. If the height of ordinary self-built houses is not up to standard, it is generally not recommended to install elevators, but like many single-family villas now, they are generally more than three floors and there are two floors underground. This kind of elevator can be installed when it reaches the height of 16 meters.

If you want to install an elevator, you should first consider the space occupied by the elevator, and then make a decision. Although installing an elevator in the house built by your family will bring a lot of convenience to your life, it will also make your life more comfortable. However, if you don't have much room to build your own house, the location of the elevator and the overall layout of the house should be adjusted. Only in this way can we bring tangible benefits to your life, otherwise it will bring a lot of distress and affect the structural safety and convenience of the whole house.

It is possible to install elevators, but the cost must be considered. If you install a small elevator from your home, the first thing to consider is the installation cost and the future operation and maintenance cost. If you say that you are fully prepared in this respect, you can completely install the elevator. Otherwise, after installation, you will feel that the cost is relatively high and it cannot be used normally. It can only be used as a decoration, which is really a bit wasteful.
