Abstract
A method for creating an elevator shaft for an elevator system, wherein the elevator shaft is oriented mainly vertically, uses a plurality of base modules placed on one another. The shaft is upwardly closed off by a top module and forms a travelway for a car of the elevator system. In a normal operation of the elevator system, the car is moved at a nominal speed within the travelway. According to the method, an intermediate element having an intermediate element height is arranged between an uppermost one of the base modules and the top module, wherein the intermediate element height is dependent on the nominal speed of the car.
