Buildings vary significantly in terms of design, height, size, structure, construction, etc, the customer would need to know where the proposed location for the single-entry chute will be. This is required for our design engineer’s.and would include the following:

• Where would the platform be installed… at rooftop, balcony, window, corridor, etc.?

• What are the building materials at the installation site, tiles, marble, cement, brick, etc?

• Are there any limitations or constraints to the installation area or floor space for the installation of the platform.

• Photos or simple sketches of the installation would be helpful and would greatly assist our design team.

It is very important for our design department to have all the necessary measurements of the proposed installation site prior to design.

Correct measurements will save time and money, especially during the installation.
