MAINTENANCE BRANCH
Government Maintenance Surveyor:
K. R. R. BOYCE, F.R.I.C.S. P. J. CORSER, A.R.I.C.S. (Acting)

4.24 This Branch, under the overall control of the Government Maintenance Surveyor, is responsible for the maintenance of and minor alterations or improvements to all Government buildings (except those under the control of the Housing Department) and Services establishments.
4.25 The work on Government buildings is divided into three contract areas, Hong Kong Island, sub-divided into six districts, Kowloon, sub-divided into four districts, and New Territories and Islands, sub-divided into four districts. Approval has been given to re-divide both Hong Kong and Kowloon into eight districts but lack of staff has precluded this from being put into operation. Three maintenance surveyors, under the supervision of a Senior Maintenance Surveyor, are in charge of the work in the first section and four maintenance surveyors, under the supervision of a Senior Maintenance Surveyor, are in charge of the work in the second and third sections. A Clerk of Works assisted by assistant clerks of works, and/or building foremen, is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of work in each maintenance district. Work is mainly executed by a term contract based on a Schedule of rates but small groups of directly employed labour have been established this year in major building complexes to execute day-to-day and emergency repairs. This use of directly employed labour will be expanded further in due course and when adequate technical staff can be recruited. Maintenance of electrical and other services, under building services engineers, assisted by inspectors, assistant inspectors and foremen, is also organized on a regional basis. Checking of accounts is carried out by sections of the Quantity Surveying Branch and Building Services Branch.
4.26 The maintenance and minor improvements of Services establishments are co-ordinated by a Senior Maintenance Surveyor and is
