Our modernization process

The first step is to take a close look at your equipment’s condition and the people flow in your building. We can then recommend the modernization options that best suit your situation and provide you with a cost estimate and advice on financing the work.

After a site visit to check everything in detail, we finalize the modernization plan and safety procedures.

Our team protects the floors, walls, and walkways to make sure they are not damaged, and makes every effort to keep noise and dust to a minimum to minimize disturbance to everyday life in your building. For example, depending on the type of building, the work can be carried out on weekends or at night.

We make sure that you and your end-users are fully informed about what is happening and when. For more extensive projects like full replacement, we dismantle and recycle the old equipment before preparing the site for installation. When we’re finished, we clean up the site and perform final equipment checks.

Once the modernization work is finished we hand over the equipment to you and provide technical and safety information and training, as well as support with any third-party inspections required.

We can make sure your equipment operates reliably and safely for its entire lifespan with a customized KONE Care™ preventive maintenance package.

If your equipment is in need of modernizing – or you’d like us to help you plan for it – simply contact us. We can provide a free-of-charge assessment of your equipment condition. Our technicians closely examine your elevator’s performance, accessibility, safety, eco-efficiency, and aesthetics. We’ll advise you on the options open to you, which can range from minor repairs to full replacement, and the costs.
