Does anyone have any experience installing elevators? I'm looking to understand the cost/benefits and whether or not it will be worth adding to a project. Thanks!

Read a post the other day on this subject it said something about adding $20,000

To your budget. Do not know if it true but I can see how it would

Make it happen
