Stairs can become harder over time, especially for older family members, young children, or anyone carrying groceries, luggage, or laundry between floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an existing home, the choice is not only about the lift itself. Homeowners should also consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Available space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of stops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pit or ramp requirement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ceiling height<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installation time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impact on the home\u2019s structure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interior design and finishing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local after-sales service in Cambodia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well chosen home lift should make daily life easier without creating too much construction work. It should fit neatly into the house, support long term use, and match the way the family lives every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many Cambodia homes, especially villas, townhouses, and shophouses, the best lift is often the one that reduces hidden construction work while still meeting safety, comfort, and design needs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"869\" height=\"869\" src=\"https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5.png\" alt=\"Before and after view of a home staircase retrofit, showing a residential elevator added to an existing house in Borey Mean Chey Resident.\" class=\"wp-image-4115\" style=\"width:584px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5.png 869w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-790x790.png 790w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-5-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Before and after view of a home staircase retrofit, showing a residential elevator added to an existing house in Borey Mean Chey Resident<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_it_cost_to_add_an_elevator_to_an_existing_home\"><\/span>How much does it cost to add an elevator to an existing home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many residential retrofit projects, adding an elevator to an existing home in Cambodia can cost around USD 15,000 to USD 40,000+, depending on the lift type, number of stops, site condition, and finishing scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figures below are general planning estimates. Actual pricing in Cambodia may vary depending on site survey, lift model, number of stops, import conditions, site access, civil work, electrical readiness, finishing scope, and installation requirements. For an accurate quotation, Cibes Lift Cambodia should inspect the home layout first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a simple planning view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Lift technology<\/strong><\/td><td>Typical setup<\/td><td>Estimated cost range<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Screw Driven homelift<\/td><td>low pit or no pit, no machine room, suitable for existing homes<\/td><td>Around USD 30,000+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hydraulic lift<\/td><td>usually needs more technical space and civil preparation<\/td><td>Around USD 15,000+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Traction lift<\/td><td>often needs a deeper pit, shaft work, and machine room or technical space<\/td><td>Around USD 18,000+<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: <\/strong><strong>The prices above are for reference only.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an existing home, the lowest equipment price is not always the lowest project cost. A system that needs more construction work can increase the total budget through slab cutting, shaft construction, waterproofing, electrical work, and finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why homeowners in Cambodia should ask one key question: <strong>What is included in the full installed cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_included_in_the_full_installed_cost\"><\/span><strong>What is included in the full installed cost? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full installed cost is the total amount needed to make the lift ready for safe daily use. It is not only the lift cabin or drive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cost item<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What it usually includes<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lift equipment<\/td><td>Lift cabin, drive system, doors, controls, safety devices, and shaft structure if included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Installation<\/td><td>Lift assembly, testing, commissioning, and handover<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Civil work<\/td><td>Floor opening, pit or ramp preparation, structural adjustment, shaft or wall work if needed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Electrical work<\/td><td>Power supply, wiring, protection devices, and connection readiness<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Finishing work<\/td><td>Flooring, wall repair, painting, trims, entrance finishing, and design details<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ownership cost<\/td><td>Regular maintenance, electricity use, parts after warranty, and service support<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Cambodia, this matters because many existing homes were not originally designed for a lift. A villa in Phnom Penh, a narrow townhouse, or a shophouse with limited space may need different preparation work. Two homes with the same number of floors can still have different installation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_affects_the_cost_of_adding_an_elevator_to_an_existing_home\"><\/span>What affects the cost of adding an elevator to an existing home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total cost depends on more than the lift cabin. In an existing home, several project factors shape the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Elevator technology.<\/strong><br>Pricing often depends heavily on the lift technology used. In many cases, modern screw driven systems come at a higher price than traditional traction lifts. This is because newer technologies are often designed to offer smoother integration in residential settings, along with different installation and performance advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Brand and product origin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Established international brands and fully imported lift systems typically carry a higher price than domestically manufactured alternatives. This is often due to brand positioning, imported components, and a higher overall product specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Number of stops and travel height.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A two stop lift usually costs less than a three or four stops lift, but the price gap is not always as large as homeowners expect. Much of the overall cost is tied to the core lift system itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lift size.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A compact lift often costs less than a larger model designed for wheelchair access or more passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lift placement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation location plays a big role in the final budget. Can the lift fit within a stair void? Will the project require slab openings? Is structural reinforcement necessary? Since no two retrofit sites are exactly alike, this is often where costs begin to vary more noticeably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Finishes and design options.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decorative and design upgrades can also raise the final price. Glass panels, premium doors, custom colors, interior finishes, and upgraded controls all add to the total budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Site conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The condition of the site can significantly affect installation cost. Access for installers, readiness of the power supply, slab strength, entrance finishing, and coordination with other trades all matter. A clean and well prepared site usually helps keep costs under control, while a more difficult site often adds labor, time, and finishing work.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"307\" height=\"546\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6.png\" alt=\"Home elevator with glass and black frame installed in an existing house beside a staircase.\" class=\"wp-image-4117 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6.png 307w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/cibescambodia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-6-225x400.png 225w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 307px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 307\/546;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Home elevator with glass and black frame installed in an existing house beside a staircase<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_lift_type_is_suitable_for_an_existing_home_in_Cambodia\"><\/span>Which lift type is suitable for an existing home in Cambodia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right lift depends on the house layout, number of floors, available space, and how much construction work the homeowner wants to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many existing homes, a compact home lift with a built-in shaft structure can be a practical choice. It may reduce the need for a full concrete shaft and can help keep the installation cleaner and easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydraulic and traction lifts can also work in some residential projects, but they may need more technical space, pit work, or shaft preparation depending on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before choosing a lift, homeowners should ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the lift need a machine room?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it need a deep pit?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it need a concrete shaft?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can it fit inside the existing layout?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long will site preparation take?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is included in the quotation?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who will handle local service after installation?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions help reveal the real cost, not just the starting price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_Cibes_home_lifts_suitable_for_many_existing_homes_in_Cambodia\"><\/span>Why are Cibes home lifts suitable for many existing homes in Cambodia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cibes Lift Cambodia was established in 2021 and is the official subsidiary of Cibes Lift Group in Cambodia. As a direct subsidiary, it distributes genuine Cibes lifts from Cibes\u2019 own factories, giving homeowners access to original products, trusted quality, and direct local support.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Cibes Lift Cambodia is not just a local distributor. It is the official subsidiary of Cibes Lift Group, which means customers receive genuine Cibes lifts backed by the brand\u2019s own manufacturing, product quality, and technical standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Built-in shaft with tempered laminated glass<\/strong><br>Cibes lifts come with their own mirror shaft and tempered laminated glass, so homeowners usually do not need to build a full concrete shaft like with many traditional lift systems. This helps reduce civil work, shorten installation time, and lower the risk of extra construction costs, while keeping the lift design clean and modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Minimal structural impact<\/strong><br>Cibes lifts are designed to fit neatly into existing homes. In many cases, they can be installed in a stairwell void, beside the staircase, or in another stacked space, without changing the whole structure of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shallow pit option <\/strong><a><br><\/a>Shallow pit from <strong>0 to 120mm<\/strong> depending on the site condition, a Cibes lift can often be installed with a shallow pit or even with a ramp. This reduces the need for deep excavation, heavy waterproofing work, and more disruptive construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No machine room<\/strong><br>Cibes lifts do not require a separate machine room. This saves space and makes the installation simpler, which is especially useful in existing homes where space is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Faster installation<\/strong><a><br><\/a>Faster installation from <strong>10 to 15days<\/strong> because the system needs less structural preparation than many conventional lift types, installation is usually faster and easier to manage. That means less disruption during renovation or retrofit work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Factory direct quality<\/strong><br>As an official subsidiary, Cibes Lift Cambodia provides genuine lifts supplied directly from Cibes\u2019 own factories. This gives customers better confidence in product authenticity, build quality, and after sales support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The smartest way to control cost is not simply to choose the cheapest lift. It is to choose a lift system that helps reduce hidden costs, such as shaft construction, deep pit work, machine room preparation, waterproofing, and extra finishing.<ins><\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_a_Cibes_home_lift_cost\"><\/span><strong>How much does a Cibes home lift cost?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Cibes home lift price depends on the number of stops, lift model, size, finishes, and site condition.
