Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan and prepare work
   • Interpret plans and specifications
   • Compare site plan and specifications with other available plans
   • Select tools and equipment required for setting out construction works and check for serviceability
   • Identify hazards, assess risks and implement controls
   • Consider environmental impact of proposed construction works in interpreting site plans
2. Locate and mark out position of construction works
   • Locate existing site features from the site plan
   • Locate position of proposed construction works
   • Using the correct scale transfer scale measurements of lines, shapes, angles and dimensions from the site plan to site
   • Mark out the shape of proposed construction works on site
3. Establish datum point and survey benchmarks on site
   • Establish datum point to ensure all existing and proposed construction works can be linked by survey equipment
   • Select and establish survey benchmarks on positions or structures on site according to site plans or specifications
4. Take and verify site levels
   • Set up levelling equipment and check for accuracy of readings
   • Adjust instruments which are out of specification
   • Take levels and verify and record in accordance with established datum point and survey benchmarks
   • Clean, maintain and store tools and equipment
