When to use and what to include

Enter a specific building-maintenance or repair task online, then generate a work order PDF for the technician. Record the location, asset, priority, assigned person, required work, planned date, access notes, and completion details.

What to include

  • Building name, floor/zone, room number, and the specific system or asset affected (HVAC unit ID, elevator number, roof section).
  • Problem description with urgency level (emergency, urgent, routine) and any tenant or occupant impact.
  • Parts, materials, and tools anticipated, including whether items need to be ordered or are in on-site inventory.
  • Safety and access instructions supplied for the task, such as required lockout/tagout procedures, hot-work authorization, hazardous-material precautions, or after-hours access.

Common questions

Can I edit this Facilities Work Order before the visit?
Yes. Update the crew, site notes, materials, tasks, and schedule in the guided form before downloading the final PDF.
Can I save this Facilities Work Order and reuse its details for similar jobs?
Yes. With an account, save it in your history, edit it later, and reuse its job details as a starting point for similar work.
Can I export this Facilities Work Order as a crew-ready PDF?
Yes. Generate a PDF your team can open on-site or print for job folders.
How is a facilities work order different from a maintenance request?
A maintenance request records the issue reported by a tenant or staff member. A work order records the authorized task, assignment, planned date, status, completed work, and sign-off.
Should every work order reference the building system it affects?
Yes. Recording the system or asset makes each work order clearer and helps you compare saved records manually. The document does not monitor assets or create a maintenance schedule.
How do I prioritize competing work orders?
Use the priority definitions and escalation process established for the property. Record the observed hazard or impact, requested response time, assigned contact, and any immediate controls without inventing a universal deadline.
Do I need sign-off when the work is complete?
Yes. The technician should confirm completion and the requester or building manager should verify the issue is resolved before closing the work order.
How do I keep work orders easy to identify?
Give each job a reference number and record its customer, work, assigned crew, planned date, status, and completion notes. With an account, you can save each PDF in your document history.
Is a work order useful for a small job?
It can be. A short work order records the requested tasks, price, planned date, assigned crew, and customer acknowledgment in one job document.
