A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. The person must also:
interpret at least five construction plans, drawings and specifications for three different work tasks or three different construction sites
apply the above information to prepare for work, including preparing information and a simple sketch or sketches for each task.
In doing the above, the person must also confirm the actual dimensions of at least three different elements of buildings by interpreting at least two different scales. Where there are differences in measurements, the person must refer to relevant personnel before starting work.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
essential information to be included in simple sketches for tasks specified in the performance evidence
processes for arranging work site access
processes for reporting inaccuracies identified in plans, drawings and specifications
processes for seeking amendments to inaccurate plans, drawings and specifications
methods of sequencing and scheduling job tasks
types and key features of construction plans, drawings and specifications used in construction projects
methods for representing details of construction requirements on plans, drawings and specifications
construction terminology and symbols used on plans and drawings and in job specifications.
Suitable assessment of performance requires:
specifications:
plans, drawings and specifications for the three different tasks or three different construction sites specified in the performance evidence
contingencies:
differences in measurements
physical conditions:
access to site or sites represented on the plans and drawings for the work tasks
relationship with client:
consultation with client or client’s representative is required.
