Amazon Last Mile (AMZL) North America | Andre Bilokur, architect.

As a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Amazon's Last Mile AMZL Delivery Station Design Standards, I advise site specific design teams on their adaptation to a particular jurisdiction and climate zone, balancing between process driven prototypes and local requirements.

The Delivery Station is the last stop that a package makes before arriving at your door. Here shipments from Sort Centers and Fullfillment Centers are sorted for individual routes for delivery by the van with the smile on the side.

Amazon works at scale, and I have participated in hundreds of projects in a portfolio worth billions. Initiatives include:

Next Gen Costing Summit, a "deep dive" VE of prototype designs, yielding $89MM in network savings
Pinned Braced Frames and Perimeter Columns, yielding 30% or $600k per building in steel savings
ARUs in lieu of RTUs, yielding $500k in construction cost and 60% savings in OpEx
Multilevel Sites Playbook, a guide when projects aren't well behaved and all on grade
Northern Sites Playbook, a guide when projects have issues like snow management and French/English signage
Multi Faith Suite Updates, a redesign to better accomomdate religious practices
Criteria for Outside Work Conditions, establishing guidelines based on HVAC setpoints, ASHRAE climate zones and NOAA Severe Weather mapping
Effective Lockers, providing a mechanism to calculate a diverse mix of storage options according to commuter population
