In most cases building repairs are requested through work orders, PPEL requests, phone calls or letters. In some cases this will mean replacement of the item. The decision to replace instead of fix the existing item will be made by Buildings and Grounds with input from others concerned. The following is a brief description of when to use the different types of requests.
Phone calls are the best way to request repairs in times of extreme emergencies.
No paper work is needed for follow-up because we log all of these calls. Amount of water coming in. Follow-up work order is not needed in emergency cases when outside contractors are used solely for the repair. If in doubt, send in follow-up work order. Work orders can be used to request any building repair except phones, stage curtains, repair computer cables and television cables.
