Brunei: DIO - Collaborative Working Discussion


Collaborative Working Discussion

The following points were deliberated about during the recent collaborative working discussion:

All storerooms lights at the flats (H15 and J16) will be replaced for LED. This will prevent the lights in the stairway not working when there are issues with the lights in the storeroom. 

Removal of all Astro dishes on the BFB Estate.

Request for Flat window keys to go keyless. Occupants are constantly losing window keys and when the locks are replaced it is different make and model to the existing windows.

Request for the back doors at H15 flats to go keyless. This is to avoid the risk of occupants getting locked out on the balcony. 

Amah quarters cookers. DIO is not installing any new electric cookers in the Amah quarters. This will be the responsibility of the Occupant, he/she will need to get the electric cooker Portable Appliance Tested by the QM Dept and will need a sticker on the appliance before use.

Keys / access to vacant quarters during out of working hours for an Emergency. Another meeting required with presence of the GSM and WSM. 

Self Help. Under the conditions of the self-help application, if an occupant agrees to take responsibility of the project, it is their responsibility to remove it. Maintenance Team to liaise with the Estate Wardens if any requests are received from occupants for removal and disposal of a self-help task.

NW500. Any NW500 requests for the SFAs will require the approval from the Estate Wardens prior to any works being done to create a new column in the NW500 application for Estate Wardens.

Carbon monoxide batteries and insecticides can be requested through the GQMS. This is to reduce works raised to the contractors and will save reactive maintenance burden.

Bird nesting to liaise with Estate Wardens for greasing bird nesting areas.
