Supply requests
Ask for consumables when the building is running out.
Request consumables for the shared areas — cleaning products, bin bags, light bulbs — and mark a request urgent when something has actually run out rather than is about to.
Ask before the cupboard is empty. Requests are batched into ordinary deliveries; urgent ones are not, which is why they should stay rare enough to mean something.
Ask before the cupboard is empty
Requests are batched into ordinary deliveries. Urgent ones are not — which is why they should stay rare enough to mean something.
Mark a request urgent when something has actually run out, not when it is about to. If everything is urgent, nothing is.
What to include
- What, specifically. "Bin bags, 45L" rather than "bin bags".
- How many, and roughly how long that usually lasts.
- Where it goes, if the building has more than one shared area.
What this is not for
Supplies for the shared parts of the building only. Something broken is a problem report; something you bought yourself is a receipt claim — and that needs agreeing first.
