Families in Mexico are increasingly seeking lifestyle upgrades that balance luxury, comfort, and efficiency. Among the most impactful innovations is the home elevator—a solution that transforms multi-level living into a seamless and stylish experience.
One of the first questions homeowners ask is, “How long does a home elevator installation take?”
With traditional lifts, the answer often means weeks—or even months—of noisy, messy, and disruptive construction. But with Nibav Mexico, the story is different: our home elevators take only 4–5 working days to install.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the entire elevator installation process, discuss factors that affect installation duration, explain why Mexican elevator regulations are crucial, and show how Nibav is setting new benchmarks for speed, safety, and sustainability.

Why Installation Timelines Matter
Many homeowners hesitate to install an elevator because of the perception of endless construction work. Traditional hydraulic or traction elevators demand pits, beams, shafts, and machine rooms—turning a beautiful home into a construction site for months.
Nibav has changed this narrative. With self-supported, pitless designs, Nibav elevators are installed in just 4–5 working days.
This means:
- Families experience minimal disruption.
- Homes remain intact, with no heavy renovations.
- Owners enjoy convenient vertical mobility almost immediately.
In modern Mexico, time saved has become the ultimate luxury.
Step-by-Step Elevator Installation Process
A home elevator is not an off-the-shelf product. Every installation requires careful planning, customization, and compliance. Here’s how Nibav ensures a seamless elevator installation process in Mexico:
1. Consultation & Site Visit (1–3 days)
Our experts visit your home to assess structure, available space, and family needs. For example, a compact villa may need a smaller panoramic cabin, while a multi-level townhouse might require a larger Series Max model. At this stage, we answer questions, show options, and help visualize the installation.
2. Design & Approval (3–7 days)
We provide tailored designs that match your interiors and comply with Mexican elevator regulations. This includes verifying structural integrity, load capacity, and safety standards. Homeowners also finalize customization choices—lighting, finishes, and cabin design—at this point.
3. Manufacturing & Delivery (3–6 weeks)
Nibav elevators are manufactured to international standards and shipped in CKD (Completely Knocked Down) format, which means semi-assembled for efficiency. While the delivery takes a few weeks, this ensures smooth installation once on-site.
4. Site Preparation (2–5 days)
Unlike traditional elevators that need deep pits and major construction, Nibav requires only small cut-outs for landing doors and a simple single-phase power supply. No beams, no shafts, and no heavy civil work.
5. Installation (4–5 working days)
This is the highlight. Once the equipment arrives, our technicians assemble the lift on-site. The modular design allows precise fitting without disturbing the home. In less than a week, the elevator will be ready for use.
6. Testing & Handover (1–2 days)
Every safety device is tested: overload alarms, child locks, door safety curtains, and the automatic emergency descent system. Homeowners are trained on basic use, maintenance schedules, and troubleshooting. Only after compliance checks, the elevator is handed over for daily use.
From start to finish, the overall project takes 4–6 weeks. But the actual installation inside your home takes only 4–5 working days.
Factors That Affect Installation Duration
While Nibav ensures quick timelines, some variables can affect the installation duration:
- Number of Floors: A G+1 villa can be completed faster than a G+3 townhouse.
- Model Chosen: Series Max elevators, being larger, may require slightly more installation effort than compact models.
- Customization: Special finishes, unique lighting, or custom engravings can add preparation time.
- Site Conditions: Homes with limited entry points or structural challenges may need additional adjustments.
- Approval Timelines: Local permits or association approvals can sometimes delay the start.
Even with these factors, Nibav’s streamlined process ensures timelines remain far shorter than traditional elevators.
What 4–5 Days Really Means
- Traditional elevators: 2–3 months of noise, dust, and structural disruption.
- Nibav elevators: 4–5 working days, no pits, no shafts, no machine rooms.
This isn’t just about time. It’s about preserving your home’s aesthetics, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and enjoying convenience sooner.
Mexican Elevator Regulations: Compliance Without Delay
In Mexico, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. Elevators must adhere to national safety codes and align with international benchmarks.
Nibav simplifies this process by offering:
- ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management.
- TÜV NORD certification for international safety assurance.
- Built-in safety features like automatic descent, overload sensors, emergency alarms, and child locks.
Unlike uncertified alternatives, Nibav elevators guarantee full compliance without unnecessary red tape—ensuring faster approvals and peace of mind.
Long-Term Benefits of Faster Installation
Quick timelines aren’t just convenient—they carry long-term advantages:
- Lower Civil Costs: No need for pits or machine rooms means lower upfront expenses.

- Faster Accessibility: Seniors and mobility-challenged family members benefit immediately.
