Smart Tender for New Sky Scraper Buildings
Phase 1: Help in tendering phase
Phase 2: Supervise the execution
Phase 1: Help in tendering phase
- Review the vertical transportation plans
- Assist in preparing / reviewing the specification
- Analyze the tenders
Phase 2: Supervise the execution
- Review the project plans prepared by the solution provider
- Supervise the project execution
Smart Modernization Plan concept includes 3 steps.
Step 1 - Training
Step 2 - Smart pre-plan
Step 3 - Smart plan
Step 1 - Training
Step 2 - Smart pre-plan
Step 3 - Smart plan
Step 1: Training
We offer 1 day training which covers the main issues to be understood when thinking to modernize the elevator and escalator system in a tall building.
Target group of about 5-6 people typically includes:
- Owner
- Facility management
- E&M
- Key Tenant
representatives.
Output of the step 1 is good understanding of the benefits, possibilities and challenges related to the modernization of the vertical transportation systems in a living skyscraper building and possible ways to proceed. Once there is a resonable understanding of the overall goals for the upgrade step 2 helps to build more detailed plan.

Step 2: Smart pre-plan
“Smart pre-plan” is typically rather short exercise and aims to paint the big picture of the existing situation in your building and covers typically building up understanding of the:
Output of the Smart pre-plan phase is a report summarizing the topics above and 2-3 options or recommendations how to proceed.
“Smart pre-plan” is typically rather short exercise and aims to paint the big picture of the existing situation in your building and covers typically building up understanding of the:
- building owners key pain points, plans, goals and requirements for the future of the building or its operations.
- current usage of the building (e.g. type of tenants, typical working hours, rough understanding of the daily people flow, possible future plans of key tenants).
- existing vertical transportation solutions, criticality of each unit and rough understanding of the service level they currently provide to the users.
- existing security / supervision /management systems and what is the level of integration of the different systems
- company(ies) providing the maintenance services, how they operate and what is the failure rate of each equipment.
- review of the existing Asset Management Plans
Output of the Smart pre-plan phase is a report summarizing the topics above and 2-3 options or recommendations how to proceed.
Step 3: Smart plan
"Smart plan" is more detailed, takes much more time (several weeks, even months) and effort and more parties are involved. It covers typically topics like:
Output of the step 3, Smart plan, is a summary report indicating recommended scope, estimated possible schedule, estimated budget, estimated performance improvement as well a technical specification for the modernization of the vertical transportation solutions in the building. The technical specification can be used in the tender request material to ask quotations from different vendors.
"Smart plan" is more detailed, takes much more time (several weeks, even months) and effort and more parties are involved. It covers typically topics like:
- equipment per equipment survey related to existing key performance parameters (nominal speed/actual speed, door open/close times, door to door times, ride comfort)
- more detailed understanding of the people flow.
- traffic analysis – estimation of the worst traffic performance during modernization and expected improvement after modernization
- a) as is situation using existing population/flow and system parameters
- b) worst case scenario during modernization when some of the equipment are out of service
- c) situation after modernization using new system parameters and using old or new estimated population.
- estimation of the expected energy saving potential
- recommendation of the scope of works for each equipment, what can be kept and what should be replaced.
- recommendation which sub systems should be integrated and how (e.g. security/turnstiles, face recognition, info systems etc.)
- highlight which issues need to be taken into account if major visual design changes are planned e.g. for lobbies or elevator cars.
- estimation of typical overall project schedule
- estimation of the rough budget
- list of typical issues causing surprises during the execution and proposal how to try to minimize the schedule-, quality- and monetary risks
- recommendation for the key requirements the vendor(s) to be selected should fulfill
Output of the step 3, Smart plan, is a summary report indicating recommended scope, estimated possible schedule, estimated budget, estimated performance improvement as well a technical specification for the modernization of the vertical transportation solutions in the building. The technical specification can be used in the tender request material to ask quotations from different vendors.
We are also happy to discuss if there is need for something else than what is covered in our 3 step approach.
