Capture a usable maintenance request
See this course’s project requirements
A fictional building request register with urgent-report routing, permission/access windows, contractor assignments, tenant-update drafts, completion evidence and reopen decisions.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Build an intake register with observation and next question fields; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Write routing cards with the responsible contact category; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Record the access authorization still required; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Draft one factual update and next-owner action; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Write specific evidence requests and owners; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
- Assemble the current register and narrow improvement; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
- Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
- Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
- The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life
Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Fictional Rowan Building: R1 tenant says water drips beneath kitchen sink in unit 2 after tap use; R2 hall lamp does not illuminate; R3 door handle is loose in unit 4. Staff do not diagnose or repair.
A useful request separates the observed symptom, its location, timing and access conditions from an unverified repair diagnosis.
Capture a usable maintenance request — worked practice
A useful request separates the observed symptom, its location, timing and access conditions from an unverified repair diagnosis.
Fictional Rowan Building: R1 tenant says water drips beneath kitchen sink in unit 2 after tap use; R2 hall lamp does not illuminate; R3 door handle is loose in unit 4. Staff do not diagnose or repair. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.
1. Step 1
Give each request a stable ID and location.
You should see: R1 unit 2 kitchen; R2 hall; R3 unit 4 door.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
2. Step 2
Record observations and timing verbatim.
You should see: R1 drips after tap use; source not confirmed.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
3. Step 3
List missing information rather than guessing.
You should see: R2 exact lamp location/time and R3 access window need confirmation.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
4. Step 4
Build an intake register with observation and next question fields.
You should see: A three-request intake register with separate location, observation, timing and missing-information columns.
Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.
What to finish
Build an intake register with observation and next question fields; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
Watch for this
Assigning a repair cause from a tenant’s first symptom description.
How can I tell I understand it?
Using the supplied identifiers, I can build an intake register with observation and next question fields. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
