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.

Competency is to be demonstrated by the effective calculation of measurements and calculations of materials in accordance with the range listed in the range of variables statement, relevant to the work orientation.

(1) Critical Aspects of Evidence

It is essential that competence is observed in the following aspects:

communicate effectively to enable accurate calculations and measurements

demonstrate effective use of measuring devices

accurate measurements taken and recorded

perform simple calculations to specifications

estimate quantities and costs to requirements

(2) Pre-requisite Relationship of Units

Nil

(3) Underpinning Knowledge and Skills

Knowledge

A knowledge of:

drawings and specifications

materials relevant to the construction process

basic operations in simple geometry, measurement and calculations

costing relative to the construction process

Skills

The ability to:

read and interpret drawings

measure and calculate manually

record measurements

operate electronic calculating devices

communicate effectively

(4) Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available:

information on construction materials appropriate to the relevant construction process

suitable work area appropriate to the activity

suitable site plans/drawings and/or specifications

measuring and calculating devices

(5) Method of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken under direct supervision with regular checks, but may include some autonomy when working as part of a team.

Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently, based upon integrated project work.

Assessment may be intermittent checking at the various stages of the job application in accordance with the performance criteria, or may be at the completion of each process.

(6) Context of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace environment in accordance with work practices and safety procedures.
