Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 effective development of technical and legal reports for construction 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:

effectively translate contract requirements into feasibility studies and advice on building, site use, plans and processes

demonstrate quality construction planning processes and effective outputs

develop strategies that maximise the effectiveness of resources

advise and coordinate the design process and obtain planning approval

oversee building or construction works to effect contractual outcomes.

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 that should normally be available in either a building or construction office

relevant codes, standards and regulations

office equipment, including calculators, photocopiers and telephone systems

computers with appropriate software to view 2-D CAD drawings, run costing programs and print copies

a technical reference library with current publications on measurement, design, building construction and manufacturer's product literature

copies of appropriate awards and workplace agreements

a suitable work area appropriate to the construction process.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills for this unit are:

communication skills to:

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

negotiate disputes

provide advice and referrals

read and interpret documents from a variety of sources

use and interpret non-verbal communication

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

written skills to:

document defects

prepare relevant documentation

evaluation skills, including the ability to review and evaluate documentation and processes and recommend changes or improvements

numeracy skills to apply calculations

planning skills to ensure effective planning of projects, processes and strategies that maximise the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of building or construction contracts

supervisor skills to ensure staff achieve planning outcomes.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

building and construction industry contracts

building and construction industry subcontracting system

building and construction practices in on and off-site management

construction planning process

contract documentation, quantities establishment, rates and costs related to payments and claims

human resource principles and practices

relevant licensing arrangements

relevant state or territory building and construction codes, standards and regulations

workplace safety requirements.

Range Statement

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.

Defects are identified through property inspections that include:

adjoining properties

confirmation of boundaries

on-site inspections of buildings, structures or features

site access and egress

topographical and geological surveys.

Feasibility studies:

include information relating to:

architectural or engineering practicalities

availability and quantum of finance

availability of services and conditions governing service provision

change of use for existing buildings

confirmation of ownership

development on vacant land

encumbrances or caveats on property

environmental factors or constraints

existing buildings/structures for a given purpose

feasibility studies may be conducted on:

most cost-effective method of building for a given site or location

refurbishment costs of buildings/structures

special conditions that may apply to developments.

Planning approval includes:

engineering approvals by architectural or design consultants

environmental approvals by Environment Protection Authority (EPA) or local authorities

final design or specification client approvals

finance approvals by lending bodies

zoning and compliance with laws and by-laws by local authorities.

Building or construction works include:

construction of roads and pathways

demolition of existing structures

erection of new structures

installation of underground cabling

refurbishment of existing structures

renovations and extensions

site levelling or contouring

stormwater disposal and site drainage.
