Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Interpret detail architectural and landscape design drawings
   • Detail architectural and landscape design drawings are interpreted for construction features.
   • Survey levels are defined and any site gradients recorded.
   • A small scale model is constructed from detail drawings.
   • Detail plans are drawn from pre-constructed landscape features, including cross-sections.
   • Drainage plans for a green site and a developed site are drawn to construction standards.
2. Design aspects of construction for landscape features in a range of materials
   • A concept design is developed for the construction of the selected landscape feature.
   • Aspects of construction for landscape features are illustrated.
   • A range of materials used in the construction of landscape features are utilised into the design.
   • Appropriate plants are selected for incorporation into the design.
3. Specify dimensions, footings and qualities of materials
   • The difference in quality of available materials is determined and quality criterion specified in the design.
   • Dimensions, footings and qualities of materials selected are identified and specified.
   • The consequences and costs involved in using poor quality materials are determined.
   • The construction standards are specified in the design.
4. Develop the required project management skills
   • A site strategy is developed for the design project.
   • Timelines for the project are identified and documented.
   • Project costs are determined and recorded.
   • Contractors on site are consulted and issues resolved.
   • A final design and project report are developed and documented.

Evidence Required

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 detail architectural and landscape design drawings construct a small scale model specify dimensions footings and qualities of materials develop a concept design for the construction draw plans to construction standards develop a final design and project report
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
