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

What evidence is required to demonstrate competence for this standard as a whole?

Competence in managing capital works requires evidence that the planning and management of construction of capital works has been successfully undertaken. The skills and knowledge required to manage capital works must be transferable to a range of work environments and contexts. For example, this could include different enterprises, management approaches and capital works projects.

What specific knowledge is needed to achieve the performance criteria?

Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace, to transfer the skills to other contexts, and to deal with unplanned events. The knowledge requirements for this unit are listed below:

human resource management and policies

capital works specifications and objectives

project management systems

project management tools and techniques

cost schedule control systems

enterprise procurement guidelines

enterprise project management policies

risk management techniques

business and commercial issues

basics of contract law

physical resource management.

What specific skills are needed to achieve the performance criteria?

To achieve the performance criteria, some complementary skills are required. These skills include the ability to:

negotiate with contractors and suppliers, and internal and external clients

design a strategy to achieve project outcomes and client requirements

monitor, evaluate and report on progress of works

resolve disagreements and disputes satisfactorily

analyse project outcomes

evaluate project achievements.

What processes should be applied to this competency standard?

There are a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life, which are required in all jobs. They are fundamental processes and generally transferable to other work functions. Some of these are covered by the key competencies, although others may be added. The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this competency standard. Following each question a number in brackets indicates the level to which the key competency needs to be demonstrated where 0 = not required, 1 = perform the process, 2 = perform and administer the process and 3 = perform, administer and design the process.

1. How can communication of ideas and information (3) be applied?

Through plans and specifications for capital works, and regular meetings with clients and contractors.

2. How can information be collected, analysed and organised (3)?

Through documentation of progress of works and contingencies arising.

3. How are activities planned and organised (3)?

According to program schedules and work specifications.

4. How can team work (3) be applied?

Through liaison between client, superintendent and contractors in progressing development works.

5. How can the use of mathematical ideas and techniques (3) be applied?

Through calculations involved in detailing costs and timelines for programming and evaluating works.

6. How can problem-solving skills (3) be applied?

Through dealing with contingencies as they arise in the construction process.

7. How can the use of technology (3) be applied?

Through use of computers and communication systems.

Are there other competency standards that could be assessed with this one?

This competency standard could be assessed on its own or in combination with other competencies relevant to the job function.

There is essential information about assessing this competency standard for consistent performance and where and how it may be assessed, in the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. All users of these competency standards must have access to the Assessment Guidelines. Further advice may also be sought from the relevant sector booklet.

Required Skills and Knowledge
