Deliveries are increasing and missed parcels create friction (re-deliveries, theft risk, concierge burden). Parcel lockers in the entrance lobby can reduce missed deliveries and improve security—but only if the siting and fire-safety approach is acceptable. Common areas often serve as escape routes, so any installation must avoid obstructing evacuation paths and should be assessed against relevant safety guidance.
This proposal showcases Concorder by keeping decisions separate: we choose the installation approach, we agree on rollout timing, and we vote on exact placement options because the physical location is genuinely part of the decision.
Rank the approach options, then choose timing windows and placement points you can live with. In comments: note mobility/accessibility needs, circulation constraints, and any current issues (door congestion, queuing, theft incidents).
Create a recessed niche (or use an existing alcove) so lockers do not narrow the main circulation route. Prioritise accessibility clearance and signage.
Best balance of convenience and safety if a suitable niche exists.
Install a freestanding unit only if clear width is preserved. Add housekeeping rules (no parcels left outside lockers) and periodic checks.
Fast deployment, but depends on space discipline.
Partner with a nearby pickup point and optimize delivery instructions for residents. Use signage and a shared guide for couriers.
Lowest building-risk option, but less convenient than on-site lockers.
Guidance for common parts fire safety in blocks of flats.
Guidance noting protected corridors/lobbies/stairways must be kept clear of obstructions/combustibles.
