MAINTENANCE BRANCH
Government Maintenance Surveyor: K.R.R. BOYCE, F.R.I.C.S.
Chief Maintenance Surveyor: P.J. CORSER, A.R.I.C.S.
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 H.B.M. Services establishments.
4.25
The work on Government buildings is carried out by sections covering three contract areas, namely, Hong Kong Island, subdivided into eight districts, Kowloon, subdivided into eight districts and New Territories and Islands, subdivided into six districts. Each area is under the control of a Senior Maintenance Surveyor, assisted by four Maintenance Surveyors each in Hong Kong and Kowloon and three in the New Territories and Islands. A clerk of works, assisted by assistant clerks of works and building foremen, is responsible for the day to day supervision of work in a maintenance district. Work is mainly executed by term contracts based on a schedule of rates but small groups of directly employed labour have been established in major buildings and complexes to execute day to day and emergency repairs. This use of directly employed labour will be further expanded in due course as and when adequate technical staff can be recruited and workshop accommodation can be made available.
4.26
Maintenance of electrical and other services, under building services engineers, assisted by inspectors, assistant inspectors and foremen, is also organised on a regional basis. Checking of accounts is carried out by sections of the Quantity Surveying Branch and Building Services Branch.
