Builder & contractor partnerships
We Work Alongside Your Team From Day One
Coastal Lifts partners with general contractors, custom home builders, and electricians throughout the Gulf Coast — from pre-construction planning through final inspection.
Your Lift Specialist on the Build Team
Installing a lift isn't a last-minute add-on. The best outcomes happen when Coastal Lifts is brought in early — during the design phase — so structural openings, electrical rough-ins, and load paths are planned correctly from the start.
We've worked alongside hundreds of contractors across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. We know how to fit into your schedule, communicate clearly with your subs, and deliver a finished lift installation that passes inspection.
Our process
How We Work With Contractors
Early Planning Meeting
We meet with the GC and architect during the design phase to review lift placement, structural requirements, and shaft or opening dimensions — before a single board is cut.
Stamped Engineering Drawings
We provide stamped drawings from a licensed engineer for permit submission. These cover structural loads, shaft dimensions, electrical requirements, and code compliance — everything your building department needs.
Electrical Coordination
We work directly with your electrician to specify the correct circuit, disconnect location, and conduit routing before rough-in. No surprises at trim-out.
Framing & Opening Guidance
We provide detailed framing specs to your framing crew — header sizes, opening dimensions, and blocking requirements — so the rough opening is right the first time.
Installation at the Right Stage
We schedule our installation to fit your build sequence — typically after framing and electrical rough-in are complete and before finish work begins — minimizing disruption to your timeline.
Final Inspection & Project Closeout
We make sure the lift installation is complete, provide the necessary manufacturer documentation, and support the contractor through final inspection and project closeout.
What We Bring to the Project
Stamped Engineering Drawings
Permit-ready drawings sealed by a licensed engineer, covering structural loads, shaft dimensions, and electrical specifications.
Electrical Coordination
Direct coordination with your electrician on circuit sizing, disconnect placement, and conduit routing before rough-in is complete.
Framing Specifications
Detailed framing guides for your crew — header requirements, opening dimensions, blocking locations, and load path details.
Code & Permit Coordination
We provide lift specifications, manufacturer documentation, and project information needed to support your permitting process and help keep the project moving.
Flexible Scheduling
We coordinate our installation around your build schedule and communicate directly with your site super to avoid conflicts.
Licensed Contractor
As a Louisiana State Licensed Contractor, Coastal Lifts understands the coordination, documentation, and project requirements contractors expect. We support lift projects throughout the Gulf Coast with responsive service and experienced project guidance.
Who We Partner With

We integrate seamlessly into new construction projects — from slab to certificate of occupancy.
General Contractors
We work as a specialty subcontractor on residential and light commercial projects of all sizes.
Electricians
We coordinate directly with your electrical sub on circuit specs, rough-in locations, and final connections.
Architects & Designers
We consult during the design phase to ensure lift placement, shaft sizing, and structural details are correct before construction begins.
Let's Talk Before You Break Ground
The earlier we're involved, the smoother the installation. Reach out to discuss your project and we'll get you the drawings and specs you need.
