Our elevator is becoming a recurring problem: small failures are more frequent, downtime is harder to predict, and the user experience is drifting away from what residents consider acceptable, especially for older residents and families with strollers. We have two competing risks. If we postpone too long, we risk a major breakdown that forces an emergency decision at a worse price. If we overreact, we may commit to an expensive scope that goes beyond what the building truly needs.

This proposal frames the decision as a choice between three realistic modernization packages. Each package comes with a different work window, because timing is not a detail here: it changes disruption, temporary accessibility measures, and contractor availability. The goal is to approve a direction and a timetable that the administrator can translate into contracts and resident communications.

The modernization scope (from targeted upgrade to full replacement)

The execution window (works timing is part of the choice)

The resident protections and service guarantees that should be written into the contract

Reliability and long-term maintenance cost

Downtime risk during works and the need for temporary support

Warranty strength and spare-parts availability

Noise, dust, and daily building logistics

Vote on the package you find most reasonable, then choose the protections that matter most to you. Comments are especially useful if you have constraints such as medical needs, mobility issues, or specific periods when downtime would be particularly difficult.

Elevator modernization: choose a works plan and timetable

We are considering an elevator modernization to improve reliability, accessibility, and safety. The decision is not only about price: we need to compare scope (controller, doors, cabin upgrades), warranty terms, maintenance response times, and how the contractor manages resident disruption and safety during works.

Because elevator downtime is a major impact (especially for residents with mobility constraints), the schedule window is part of the decision. This proposal demonstrates Concorder by using ranking for bid approval (each bid includes detailed HTML scope and targeted pros/cons), plus a separate vote on acceptable work windows using date ranges. Attachments reference the EU lift safety framework so residents can ask the right questions about compliance and documentation.

Which contract requirements must be mandatory

Rank the bids, then choose the work windows that are feasible. In comments: add resident constraints (strollers, medical needs), preferred notice period, and any observed current issues (breakdowns, door faults, leveling problems).
