𝗙𝗠 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 | 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲?

Take your list of permits, licenses, inspection certificates and service contracts. Next to each one, is there an expiry date and a name?

In a lot of buildings these documents sit in different places: a cabinet, a shared drive, someone's email, the contractor's own files. The renewal date is in one person's calendar. When that person leaves or goes on leave, the date goes with them.

Tracking licenses and permits is a standard function in most CMMS software, and a well-kept spreadsheet can do the same job if someone actually checks it. What matters is what each record holds:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀
What the document is, which asset or area it covers, who issued it, the expiry date, and a scanned copy attached.

𝟮. 𝗔𝗻 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘂𝗽
A reminder sent to a shared inbox that nobody reads does not count. Name one person, and name who covers when they are away.

𝟯. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲
A single alert a week before expiry is too late for anything that needs an inspection, a test or a signature first. Set the alert according to how long the renewal really takes: months for some, a couple of weeks for others.

𝟰. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼
Contractors' insurance and license documents expire as well. Check them before a work order goes out, and keep the expiry dates in the same list. If a renewal needs an inspection or test, raise it as a work order so it sits on the same schedule as the rest of the maintenance.

Easy first step: this month, list everything that expires in the next 90 days and put a name next to each one.

Which has caught your team out before: a contract, a permit, or a contractor's paperwork? Comment below.

𝗙𝗠 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀

Sprinklers are the first thing most people think of for fire suppression. A typical commercial building has more than that, and each part needs its own kind of care.

Here is the usual set, from the ceiling down to the equipment room.

𝟭. 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀
Heads on a pipe network, each one opening on its own when heat reaches it, so only the heads near the fire discharge. Wet pipe keeps water in the pipes at all times. Dry pipe holds pressurized air or nitrogen until a head opens, which suits unheated or cold areas. Pre-action keeps the pipes dry until the detection system signals, so a knocked head doesn't flood a data room or an archive.

𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Vertical piping through the stairwells with a hose outlet on each floor. At street level there is a fire department connection, where the fire truck feeds water into the building's system.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺
A fire reserve tank, a fire pump that starts when pressure drops, and a smaller jockey pump that keeps the lines pressurized. If this part fails, the sprinklers and standpipes have nothing to deliver.

𝟰. 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀
Server rooms and electrical rooms often use a clean agent or inert gas, because water and live equipment don't mix. The room has to hold the gas in, so doors, dampers and cable openings matter. Kitchen hoods use a wet chemical system made for cooking oil fires, usually tied to shutting off the gas or power to the cooking line.

The fire alarm and detection system sits in front of all four. It is what tells the building something is wrong, and in some systems it is what triggers the suppression itself.

Which systems a building must have comes from the Fire Code and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). This post is the plain-language map of what you are likely to find.

A few things that land on the FM team:

• 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 which system covers which area. Keep the riser diagram and the valve list where the team can find them.

• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 valves stay open. If one has to be closed for repair work, log it, tell whoever is responsible for fire protection in the building, and restore it as soon as the work is done. A closed valve means that area has no protection.

• 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 up at the ceiling. Painted heads, things hung from the pipes, and stock stacked close to the ceiling can all keep a head from working. After a tenant fit-out, check that the heads still match the new layout.

• 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 the seal on gas-protected rooms. A new cable opening, a door that no longer closes, or a change to the ventilation should go to the system contractor before the work, not after.

• 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 goes to a competent fire protection contractor on a written schedule, and the reports stay on file. Ask which standard the schedule follows.

Undas long weekend is coming, and a lot of buildings will sit quiet for 3 to 4 days. That's exactly when small problems turn into Monday-morning headaches.

Before your team leaves, take 30 minutes for this:

1️⃣ 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 and gutters. Typhoon season isn't over, and a clogged drain with no one around means ponding and leaks.

2️⃣ 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐭 and emergency lights. Run the genset under load, not just idle, and check the fuel level and battery.

3️⃣ 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝. Non-critical AC, water pumps on manual, and unused panels. Fewer running things means fewer things that can fail.

4️⃣ 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐭 at the guard house: who to call for electrical, plumbing, and security, with a backup name for each.

5️⃣ 𝐋𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐭. A simple checklist with the date and the name of whoever checked. If something goes wrong, you'll know what was done.

None of this is fancy. It's just the stuff that gets skipped when everyone is rushing out the door.

𝗙𝗠 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀

Nobody calls the FM office to report a lighting system problem. They call to say the third floor is dim, the pantry light flickers, or the parking level went dark again.

Behind each of those calls is the same chain of parts. Knowing which part you're dealing with saves a lot of lamp changes that don't fix anything.

𝟭. 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀
Lighting sits on its own branch circuits off the panelboards. If a whole row goes out together, look at the breaker first.

𝟮. 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀
The fixture body and the lens, diffuser or reflector. Dust and yellowed covers take light away slowly, and a space can look dim with every lamp still working.

𝟯. 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿
The lamp or LED module, and the driver or ballast feeding it. A dead driver can make a fixture look finished when the LEDs are fine. When a contractor swaps a fixture, ask what actually failed.

𝟰. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀
Switches, timers, photocells, occupancy sensors, dimmers. Lights left on all night, or going off in the middle of a meeting, are usually a control setting and not a fixture.

Light level is measured in lux, lumens per square meter on a surface. The right amount depends on the space, and glare and flicker count too.

𝗙𝗠 𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Maynilad and Manila Water announced more scheduled maintenance interruptions this week, and PAGASA says the very strong El Niño could last into the first half of 2027. Whether your supply is cut for a few hours or the pressure just sags, here is what to do when the water comes back.

𝟭. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

When pressure drops, water can be pulled backward through connections that have no protection on them. Look at hose connections, irrigation lines, and make-up lines to equipment. Each backflow preventer or vacuum breaker should be there and carry a dated test tag. If you can't find a test record, schedule one.

𝟮. 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀

• Open the outlets nearest the water entry first, then move outward and up the building
• Cold lines before hot
• Run each outlet until it looks clear
• Leave ice machines, coffee makers, and dispensers off until the lines are flushed, then run them through too

After a long interruption, plan a second round. One flush often isn't enough.

𝟯. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗴

Brown or cloudy water, a smell, complaints from the top floors or the far wing: note all of it. If you have a chlorine test kit, read a few outlets. If the water doesn't clear, close the drinking points, call the utility, and send a sample to an accredited lab for a coliform test.

Write down the date, how long the supply was out, who flushed, which outlets, and what you found.

A boil or do-not-drink notice from the utility overrides all of this.

💬 What does your team do right now when the water comes back? Is it written down anywhere?

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 (𝙍𝘼 9514) 𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙬𝙣𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨.

Here is how the roles generally split.👇

𝟭. 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿
Sets up the fire safety program for the building and organizes the occupants to carry it out.

𝟮. 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿
The owner's agent, running the building day to day. In practice this is the FM or building admin team. They keep the fire protection systems in working order, keep the records, schedule tests and repairs, and are usually the ones who meet the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) when it comes to inspect.

𝟯. 𝗢𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀
Tenants cover the space they lease or use, and follow the building's program.

BFP enforces the Code. Its notices and orders go to the owner, administrator or occupant, depending on who is responsible for what was found.

Where this goes wrong is usually at the boundaries. A tenant's fit-out can end up blocking a sprinkler head, and if the lease doesn't say who tests the alarm inside the unit, often nobody does.

It helps to write the split on one page, by system and by area, with a name or company beside each line. The owner and administrator sign it, and tenants get a copy.

Is that written down in your building, or just understood?

𝗙𝗠 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗠𝗠𝗦 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗼-𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲

The CMMS is live and the vendor has gone home. Three months later, requests are back in the group chat and one person updates the system before the monthly review.

The software is rarely the main problem. These are the spots where the rollout tends to break:

𝟭. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽
Checklists, asset names and work order forms got built in the office. Pull in a few senior technicians before go-live to write the PM checklists and agree on naming, then try the mobile screens on an actual shift.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
If a message in the group chat gets the job done, nobody will bother with the system. Pick a cut-over date, stop accepting requests any other way, and retire the paper forms the same day.

𝟯. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸?
Vendor support tends to thin out once the sale is closed, and the first weeks of live use are when technicians need it most. Put a name on it in writing: the vendor, your admin, or a super user on your own team whom the technicians already trust.

𝟰. 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
Finance wants cost per asset, the engineers want the PM schedule, the admin office wants tickets closed. Settle the three or four reports that matter before configuration starts. Otherwise whoever does the configuring decides for everyone.

𝟱. 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲
Adoption can be measured. How many requests came in through the system this month? How many PM tasks were closed on time? Put those two numbers on the weekly meeting agenda, and ask the technicians in the first month what is slowing them down.

You may have seen a 60 to 80 percent failure rate quoted for CMMS projects. It could not be traced to a named study, so it is not used here.

What finally got the technicians on your team using the CMMS? Share in the comments.
