Construct landscape features using concrete
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to the construction of concrete structures and features as a component of landscape project works.
This unit covers the process of constructing concrete structures and features and defines the standard required to: interpret site plans and specifications; set out and prepare a site for receival of concrete, pour, set and finish concrete; check quality of work and clean up site.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Employability Skills

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following: interpret site plans and specifications set out and prepare a site for receival of concrete pour, set and finish concrete check quality of work and clean up site. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
measure and construct profiles using mathematical techniques establish levels using levelling equipment undertake and interpret tests performed on a concrete mix place, consolidate and finish concrete use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, follow sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legible information collected and select and apply procedures for a range of tasks use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning techniques, active listening, clarifying information and consulting with supervisors as required use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities. |
Required knowledge |
MPA testing theory and what effects MPA specifications in a concrete mix the comparative environmental implications associated with soil removal and the establishment of drainage systems industry standards in relation to reinforcing and consolidating concrete. sub-base and sub-grade materials and preparation. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. | |
Features may include: | structures including paths, driveways, edgings, footings, floors, steps, walls, fences, pool surrounds, entertaining areas and ornamental garden elements. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist
| Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans and specifications are interpreted and clarified with the supervisor. | |||
| The quantity and quality of materials are checked to ensure they conform to design drawings and specifications. | |||
| Tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability according to enterprise guidelines. | |||
| Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards are identified, risks assessed and controls implemented. | |||
| Environmental implications of constructing concrete structures are identified and reported to the supervisor. | |||
| Services are determined and located from site plans. | |||
| The position of the structure or feature is marked out according to design drawings and specifications. | |||
| Profiles are established to conform to the tolerances nominated within the design drawings and specifications. | |||
| Subsoil is prepared by removing all debris, vegetable matter and topsoil to provide a solid foundation for concrete. | |||
| Drainage systems are installed according to design drawings and specifications. | |||
| Form work is installed to the site in a manner that will ensure it remains rigid during concrete pouring operations. | |||
| Sub-base material is placed and compacted to the required finished levels. | |||
| Preparation of the site is completed according to the type of structure or feature to be constructed. | |||
| Proportions for concrete mix are determined according to the strength requirements of the project. | |||
| Volume of dry materials necessary to produce final concrete mix is determined. | |||
| All dry ingredients and required additives are mixed together to ensure a thorough blending of all materials is achieved. | |||
| Sufficient water is introduced to produce a concrete mix to the required consistency. | |||
| Concrete mix samples are taken for testing, if required, to check for conformity to specifications. | |||
| Concrete is poured to designated levels in a manner to avoid segregation of materials. | |||
| Concrete is consolidated using an approved vibration method to industry standard (AS3600) to ensure air pockets are eliminated. | |||
| Concrete is screeded to a flat surface to maintain the desired finished level. | |||
| Surface is trowelled according to design drawings and specifications. | |||
| A Concrete is finished off according to design drawings and specifications. | |||
| Quality of finished works is inspected to ensure the standard of the finished structure or feature is in accordance with design drawings and specifications. | |||
| Form work is removed and cleaned in a manner which will allow for re-use of the form work. | |||
| All debris is removed and disposed of in a manner that minimises risk to the environment. | |||
| All tools and equipment are cleaned and stored according to enterprise guidelines. |
