Elevators, Escalators & Vertical Transport Equipment worked example

Vertical Transport Quote Price at 110% quote scope captured: a worked example

Push quote scope captured up to 110% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. an estimator needs a fast quote price for equipment, modernization kits, or service scope

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted elevator or escalator units: 4 units (unchanged)
  • Price basis per unit: 78,000 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • Quote scope captured: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed project, option, install-support, and documentation adders: 26,000 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable quoted equipment price = quoted units × price basis per unit × quote scope captured) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 369,200 $ for total vertical transport quote price, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 92,300 $ / unit for quoted price per unit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 343,200 $ for variable quoted equipment price.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 26,000 $ for fixed project adders.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quote scope captured sits at 100% and the headline result is 338,000 $, this scenario comes in 9.23% above the baseline at 369,200 $.
  • It computes the total quote price for an elevator or escalator package by scaling per-unit price across quoted units and adding fixed project, option, install-support, and documentation adders. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
