Smarter Elevator Planning with KONE Studio | BIM-Ready Design

KONE Studio is an intuitive, web-based planning tool that allows you to configure an elevator based on project-specific parameters – without needing to consult with a technician or wait for custom drawings. Its improved user interface guides you smoothly through the entire process: from basic specs and shaft dimensions to cabin design and technical outputs.

In just a few clicks, users can generate complete technical documentation, including PDF and DWG drawings as well as BIM models. These outputs can be directly integrated into architectural documentation or digital building models, making the coordination process faster and easier.

KONE Studio also supports highly compact shaft configurations. Most KONE elevators require no machine room at all – freeing up valuable space and simplifying building layouts. The system calculates all technical parameters, including shaft heights and load capacities, and offers options to adjust designs instantly.

For developers, this means faster tendering and planning cycles. For architects and engineers, it’s an easy way to test and compare elevator options, optimize the shaft design, and get all relevant technical materials within minutes. Combined with KONE's technical consulting and a wide range of available solutions for residential and commercial construction, this tool fits naturally into the modern planning process.

Whether it's a design for an elevator for affordable residential housing, an office building, or the modernization of an existing building, KONE Studio helps you quickly and easily create a design that meets technical requirements as well as aesthetic and economic criteria. It's a perfect example of how digitalization can simplify the complex world of elevator design.

Intuitive Interface that Saves Time

The new KONE Studio interface is designed to guide you step-by-step through the elevator planning process with ease.

From just a few simple inputs:

Select building type and expected usage.
Define shaft dimensions.
Choose door type, design, and technical specs.
Instantly download elevator drawings and 3D models.

Even if you’re not a BIM expert or CAD professional, you’ll be able to complete your elevator design quickly and confidently.

For architects: Elevator design as a natural part of the design

Architects will appreciate the intuitive visualizations and easy integration of elevators into the building design. With KONE Studio, you can:

monitor in real time how the elevator affects the spatial layout,
work with different cabin and door design options,
export elevator models to BIM formats (Revit, IFC) and easily insert them into project documentation,
adapt the design to standards without having to search for specifications.

KONE Studio is the ideal tool in the early stages of design – it saves you hours of manual work and helps you align technical requirements with the aesthetic goals of the project.

For developers: Speed, clarity, and decision-making tools

Developers are primarily interested in efficiency, comparability of options, and confidence in making the right choice. KONE Studio allows you to:

easily compare different elevator configurations (load capacity, cabin size, number of stops),
customize the elevator to the specifics of the building – from residential buildings to office complexes,
obtain outputs in a clear format that can be easily shared with investors or the implementation team,
support the decision-making process with clear data and visual outputs.

Thanks to the new interface, you can get to grips with the tool in no time and have a complete design with drawings ready in just a few minutes.

For designers: Technical accuracy and ready-to-use documentation

Designers need accurate outputs that fit into their drawing documentation without the need for modifications. KONE Studio offers:

complete technical drawings in PDF and DWG formats,
details on connections, shafts, electrical connections, and installation requirements,
compliance checks with regulations and standards already during the design phase,
quick export to design tools without time-consuming redrawing.

With KONE Studio, you can be sure that all elevator parameters will be technically correct and ready for the next phases of the project.
