CBF 1: Asset and Facilities Management

Bandtree, as a government-linked entity operating under Darussalam Assets, plays a critical role in Brunei Darussalam’s infrastructure and real estate landscape.

One of its key operational pillars is CBF-1: Asset & Facilities Management, which encompasses a wide range of functions essential to the safety, functionality, and long-term sustainability of the nation’s property assets.

Purpose of Chapter

This chapter outlines the core sub-processes (Sub-CBF) within Asset & Facilities Management and provides a comprehensive analysis of their internal and external dependencies.

Understanding these dependencies is vital for identifying interlinkages between business units, third-party vendors, regulatory bodies, and utility providers.

Such insights support the development of effective business continuity plans by recognising upstream, downstream, and mutual dependencies that could affect service delivery during a disruption.

The table presented in this chapter details each sub-process under CBF-1, identifying responsible units or partners, the type and direction of dependencies, and the nature of those relationships, aligned with best practices defined in BCMpedia.

Here is the table for Critical Business Function (CBF-1) Asset & Facilities Management for Bandtree, incorporating sub-processes (Sub-CBFs) and detailing their dependencies in line with BCMpedia's interdependency concepts.

Summing Up ... Part 5

Effective management of assets and facilities requires more than operational oversight—it demands an integrated understanding of how various internal functions and external entities interrelate.

Through this detailed dependency analysis, Bandtree can better anticipate potential disruptions, assess the impact of cascading failures, and implement targeted mitigation strategies.

The insights gained from mapping interdependencies for each sub-CBF under Asset & Facilities Management will inform strategic planning, resource allocation, and resilience-building initiatives.

As Bandtree continues to manage vital infrastructure assets for Brunei Darussalam, this proactive approach to continuity planning strengthens both operational readiness and national infrastructure resilience.

Part 6: Vital Records

Notes for BCM Institute's Course Participants: This is the template for completing the "Part 6: Vital Records."

Part 6: Vital Records

Vital records are essential documents and information assets that are critical to the continued operation and recovery of Bandtree’s business functions during and after a disruption.

These records support operational continuity, regulatory compliance, legal obligations, and the protection of stakeholder interests.

As a government-linked company specialising in corporate property and facilities management, Bandtree relies heavily on records that document asset integrity, vendor relationships, safety compliance, emergency response, and infrastructure management.

The identification, protection, and accessibility of these vital records are crucial to ensuring uninterrupted service delivery and safeguarding the company's reputation and responsibilities under the regulations of Darussalam Assets.

Purpose of Chapter

This section outlines the critical business function (CBF) of Asset & Facilities Management, along with its key sub-processes and their corresponding vital records.

For each sub-function, the vital records are described in terms of their media type, storage location, and designated custodian. This structured approach enables a comprehensive view of information dependencies and reinforces preparedness for recovery scenarios.

Based on the sub-processes (Sub-CBF) of CBF-1: Asset & Facilities Management for Bandtree, and following the structure for documenting Vital Records as referenced from BCM Institute's guidance notes, this is the table:

Summing Up ... for Part 6

The identification and management of vital records form a cornerstone of Bandtree ’s business continuity strategy.

By cataloguing essential documents across the CBF-1 Asset & Facilities Management, the organisation ensures that it can maintain vital services, make informed decisions during crises, and recover operations efficiently following any disruptive event.

Proper stewardship of these records—through secure storage, regular updates, and clear accountability—supports regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and the safeguarding of national infrastructure interests.

As we advance, periodic reviews and updates to this vital records inventory are imperative to align with evolving operational requirements, regulatory changes, and technological advancements.

Bandtree’s commitment to protecting vital records reinforces its role as a reliable and resilient service provider within Brunei’s public asset ecosystem.
