“KONE has been a dependable partner in
terms of their flexibility in responding to
changing site conditions and for their ability
to meet our stringent scheduling requirements,”
says
Jeffrey MacNeill,
Director of Construction
for Earnest Towers Private Limited.
The green advantage
As more buildings seek to achieve LEED
certification, FIFC is no different. The KONE
MonoSpace elevators deliver A-class energy
efficiency, cutting energy costs and lowering
the building’s carbon footprint.
“Our energy efficient solutions were an
advantage we had over competitors. We
understood the customer’s requirements and
because we were involved right from the start,
we were also able to deliver on our promises,”
Kanthi concludes.
