Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency supports builders, surveyors and related construction industry professionals who have responsibility for conducting site surveys in preparation for medium-rise building and construction projects.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to apply site surveys and set-out procedures to medium rise building and construction projects. It addresses the skills and practices required to measure, record and interpret data using measuring and levelling equipment and to set out building projects. The ability to operate specific surveying equipment and apply calculations and knowledge of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and Australian standards are essential.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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

This unit of competency could be assessed by applying survey and site set-out procedures and selection and use of two levelling devices to survey and set out building projects.

This unit of competency can be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

accurately apply survey and levelling principles relating to performance of site set-out

comply with OHS and organisational quality procedures and processes

apply and interpret relevant documentation, codes and legislation

use levelling devices to survey and set out building projects

identify typical faults and problems and take necessary action taken to rectify

identify hazard categories according to Australian standards, BCA and specifications.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

documentation, including design brief drawings, specifications, codes, design concepts, construction schedules and other necessary supporting documents

research resources, including systems information and data

access to relevant legislation, regulations and codes of practice.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice, with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

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

Required skills for this unit are:

application of design concepts and principles to survey and site set-out

application of measurements and calculations to survey and site set-out

communication skills to:

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, share information, listen and understand

perform survey and levelling procedures with others

read and interpret:

drawings and specifications

state regulatory authority requirement

other relevant documentation

use and interpret non-verbal communication

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

interpretation skills to understand documentation from a wide range of sources, including state regulatory authority requirements

numeracy skills to apply measurements and calculations.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

application of design principles

BCA and Australian standards and manufacturer specifications

building systems and application to survey and site set-out

level and grade checking used to perform survey control to accuracy criteria

OHS measures as identified by equipment manufacturers and Australian standards

relevant legislative requirements, codes and practices

survey and levelling devices and effect of performance on site

work drawings and specifications.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Levelling equipment includes:

electronic distance measuring (EDM) equipment

laser

optical plummets

pegs methods

theodolite.

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
