Improvement works in excess of these limits or requiring planning permission are projects See Project section here.

Requests for Minor Improvements can be made to the Help Desk by emailing repairs@tcd.ie

Minor Improvements can be requested by a budget holder but must be approved by the Person I Control/Head of School or the unit's premises liaison person. Works cannot begin unless a charge code or official order has been received from the ordering department.

There are no charges for the Maintenance Managers services in bringing the works to approval stage. Units will be charged the full agreed cost of the works together with the cost of any additions, alterations, delays or unforeseen works.
