Easy Living Home Elevators partners with Palm Lake Group to incorporate 70 elevators complete with SMARTAFRAME into the exquisite Palm Lake Resort Caloundra Cay, on the Sunshine Coast.

Project Partners

Palm Lake Group


The Palm Lake Group has been synonymous with crafting architecturally designed homes that radiate elegance and sophistication. With a rich history spanning more than 40 years, the majority of their residential creations have been characterized by two-bedroom single-storey dwellings that blend comfort and aesthetics seamlessly. However, with the introduction of Caloundra Cay, the Palm Lake Group has embarked on a journey to redefine luxury living. This picturesque haven on the Sunshine Coast not only upholds the group’s award-winning design legacy but elevates it to new heights—literally. In a departure from their norm, Caloundra Cay proudly introduces two-storey home designs that seamlessly integrate an internal elevator as a standard feature.

This was made possible through a partnership with Easy Living Home Elevators, a trailblazer in Australia’s elevator industry. Collaborating with the Palm Lake Group, Easy Living Home Elevators has introduced an innovation that is set to reshape the very essence of luxurious living at Caloundra Cay Resort.

Caloundra Cay is more than just a residential enclave—it’s a testament to innovation, opulence, and the pursuit of excellence. As residents step into their two-storey abodes complete with internal elevators, they enter a realm where convenience, aesthetics, and modernity converge in perfect harmony. Easy Living Home Elevators’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of elevator technology aligns seamlessly with the Palm Lake Group’s dedication to crafting homes that transcend the ordinary.

The Innovation: SMARTAFRAME Self-Supporting Structure

The project’s standout feature was the introduction of the SMARTAFRAME self-supporting structure. This innovative solution marked a significant departure from traditional construction methods, providing a streamlined and efficient approach to building elevators.

Key Benefits Delivered:

Streamlined Construction: By preassembling the SMARTAFRAME system in the factory, the construction site experienced reduced truck traffic, equipment clutter, and material suppliers. This streamlined process increased construction productivity and minimised typical site distractions.

Ease of Installation: The SMARTAFRAME system circumvented common issues associated with traditional shaft construction methods. Unlike blockwork, which relies heavily on skilled labor, the SMARTAFRAME system required less supervision and time, expediting the installation process.

Speed: With the SMARTAFRAME system’s offsite manufacturing and integration into the build, the on-site construction timeline significantly shortened. Delays due to weather and subcontractor scheduling were eliminated, resulting in faster installation and overall project completion.

Builder Benefits and Advantages:Builders benefited from ultimate control over schedules, reduced critical path reliance, and simplified on-site installation. The SMARTAFRAME technology ensured efficient delivery and installation, contributing to substantial time savings and greater project certainty.

Space, Time, and Cost Savings:The structural design of the SMARTAFRAME accommodated small spaces, and its off-site preassembly yielded an average 25% overall cost saving compared to traditional methods. The elimination of storage requirements for elevator components and accelerated construction led to significant time and cost savings.

**Palm Lake Group Testimonial:** From our very first meeting we knew we had made the right choice in elevator companies. Easy Living Home Elevators worked accurately with our construction programme. The off-site manufacturing and assembly meant that the elevators were completed in parallel with our on-site works. Our project programme was slashed when 8 elevators were installed in one day!
