KLBC: building floors

How would one talk about "floor" as in the
level of a building? I have /rav/ for "floor"
as in the separator between stories, but it's
not quite the same thing. i.e. I want to say,
"We are on the third floor." Which of the
following is correct?
rav wejDIchDaq maHtaH.
= We are on the third floor.
rav wejDaq maHtaH.
= We are on floor number three.
rav wejDIch DungDaq maHtaH.
= We are on the third floor's above area.
rav wej DungDaq maHtaH.
= We are on floor number three's above area.
Or perhaps /tlhoy SaS/ instead of /rav/? Or
maybe something wierder, like
/rav'eq wejDIch bIngDaq maHtaH/?
Is there also an accepted way of saying
"elevator" and "escalator"? Maybe
/nuv qengwI'/ and /vIHbogh letlh/ or
/'ul letlh/?
I'm trying to figure out my way around a
building... and on Qo'noS I'd imagine that
anyone asking for directions would look
like such a bumbling tera'ngan.
Thanks.
