Planning for lifts and escalators

Clear needs. Sound planning.

Whether for a new installation, a modernisation or a replacement, your system should suit the building’s use and your economic objectives. We clarify requirements, develop concepts and compare technical options. This gives you a coordinated basis for planning, tendering and future operation.

Which solution suits your building?

  • Clarifying the project

    You are planning a new installation or want to develop an existing solution further.

  • Framework conditions

    Usage and spatial conditions define what is possible.

  • Cost and operation

    Investment budget and lifecycle belong together.

We turn these points into a clear, traceable concept at an early stage.

Added value for your role

  • Owners and investors

    You make investment decisions in line with your real estate objectives, taking the long-term impact over the entire lifecycle into account.

  • Architects and planners

    You receive independent technical input for targeted planning and smooth project delivery.

  • General and turnkey contractors

    You receive clear technical requirements as a reliable basis for tendering, cost estimation and scheduling.

From building use to the right system solution.

What you receive

A coordinated system concept, a clear comparison of options and documented technical requirements. Key interfaces are defined, so further planning can build on them.

Frequently asked questions

When should you involve us in planning a lift or escalator?

As soon as the intended use and key project objectives have been defined. Existing concepts can also be reviewed, refined and developed further.

Do you also plan alterations to existing installations?

Yes. Planning services can cover new installations, modernisations or replacements. The scope is tailored to your project.

Do you also assess the required handling capacity?

Yes. Where required, we compare options based on traffic simulations in accordance with ISO 8100-32 and summarise the results concisely.
