Planned modernization

Modernization starts with current-condition assessment

We review elevator condition and building requirements to define an appropriate modernization scope.

Condition assessment

Review current condition and key technical observations.

Set priorities

Identify elements that need modernization based on condition and use.

Clear scope

Define approved work before implementation begins.

Modernization value

Why modernize an elevator?

Modernization may improve reliability, user experience and suitability for current building needs.

Planned decisions

Modernization decisions relate to technical condition and building need.

Improved reliability

Upgrade appropriate elements to support operational quality.

Better suitability

Review needs linked to the building’s current use.

Service continuity

Connect modernization with suitable operation and maintenance after implementation.

Modernization stages

How does the project start?

A clear scope from assessment through implementation and testing.

01

Assess

Review elevator condition and existing observations.

02

Define scope

Select modernization elements and required work.

03

Implement

Execute the approved work within the plan.

04

Test and hand over

Inspect upgraded elements and document handover.

Existing elevators

Solutions for different buildings

Scope depends on elevator age, condition and usage.

Residential

Modernization of existing residential elevators.

Commercial

Upgrade solutions for commercial use.

Hospitality

Modernization linked to user experience and operation.

Facilities & projects

Upgrade scope based on condition and technical requirements.

From assessment to handover

Clear definition of what changes and what was completed

A modernization project starts with condition assessment and scope definition, then documents execution, testing and handover.

01

Condition assessment

Record current condition and technical observations before defining the modernization scope.

02

Component definition

Clarify what remains, what changes and the specification of upgraded elements.

03

Task-linked execution

Connect field execution to the required tasks and project stages.

04

Work documentation

Record completed work, observations and project-related photo evidence.

05

Testing and handover

Review the outcome and document handover within the approved scope.

Modernization scope evidence

What remains and what changes is defined in the technical scope

A modernization project is not based on a generic description; the current condition, retained components, replaced components, new specification and applicable documentation are defined within the project scope.

Pre-modernization assessment

Record current condition, observations and the elements targeted for modernization.

Defined components

Identify machine, controller, doors, safety systems or other elements according to the project scope.

Clear model and origin

Identify models, manufacturer and country of origin for elements included in the modernization scope.

Execution documentation

Connect tasks, photos and observations to the completed work before testing and handover.

Common questions

Before modernizing an elevator

Key points to understand whether modernization fits the case.

Concise answers to help you make a clearer decision before starting the project.
Does modernization mean replacing the entire elevator?
Not necessarily. Scope is defined after assessment and may cover selected components or a broader upgrade.
How do I know the elevator needs modernization?
By reviewing age, technical condition, operational observations and current building requirements.
Can modernization be implemented in phases?
It depends on the work scope, technical condition and whether phased implementation can deliver a suitable operational result.
