Undertake site surveys and set-out procedures for building projects

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
Registered Training Organisations
Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver CPCCSV5007A, 'Undertake site surveys and set-out procedures for building projects'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Undertake site surveys and set-out procedures for building projects' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Measure linear distances on site using building and basic surveying equipment.

1.1. Areas and volumes of regular shapes and figures are calculated.

1.2. Distances are measured accurately, independent of site characteristics and measurement methods, using basic surveying equipment.

1.3. Distances are measured on building sites within a tolerance of 1mm error in 4.0m (1:4000) or without error.

1.4. Overall distances are calculated from field data without error.

1.5. Slope corrections are recorded accurately.

2. Carry out a closed level transverse procedure using the rise and fall recording method.

2.1. Levelling equipment is inspected for damage, wear and serviceability.

2.2. Set-up steps are performed and instruments made ready for use without error.

2.3. Instruments are checked for accuracy and adjusted (where possible) within 3mm over 60 metres using the two peg test.

2.4. Closed level traverse procedure is completed with a minimum of 15 points, including an inverted reading, with a minimum of 5 change points all within a closing tolerance of 10mm.

2.5. Data of traverse is correctly recorded and extended including mathematical column checks by use of the rise and fall method.

3. Perform grid surveys for contour purposes.

3.1. Site identification for site surveying and setting out procedures is established and all survey pegs are located without error.

3.2. Grid distances are determined and grid is pegged correctly.

3.3. Site detail that may effect building operation is recorded without error.

3.4. Reduced levels of all grid points are determined from a close performed onto the bench mark to within 10mm, without error.

3.5. Contour lines are plotted on the site plan at intervals appropriate to the site with longitudinal and cross sections pegged and measured as nominated within 100mm. Sections are plotted to scale without error.

3.6. Grades of line are determined within a 0.5% tolerance and expressed as percentage, rise to run ratio, or degrees.

3.7. Cut and fill volumes of soil are calculated from site plan using contour lines for determining reduced levels (RLs) within 5% tolerance.

4. Set out T-shaped or L-shaped buildings on a selected site with minimal profiles.

4.1. Site information is identified from site plan and dimensions are checked on plan drawings without error.

4.2. Site is identified and survey pegs are measured to ensure correct identification occurs before pilot pegs are positioned within 50mm of true location of the squared building dimensions.

4.3. Profile pegs are set up on site at a working distance from pilot pegs and parallel to pilot line.

4.4. Profile boards are fixed to pegs and level within 5mm and 15mm of each other.

4.5. Profiles are set out on steep slopes accurately.

5. Set up and use levelling devices to determine horizontal and vertical angles.

5.1. Basic tests on levelling devices' accuracy/adjustment are performed to manufacturer specifications.

5.2. Temporary adjustments to set up levelling devices are carried out to standard operating procedures.

5.3. Levelling devices are used to determine (read) both horizontal and vertical angles to an accuracy of 20 seconds.

5.4. Levelling devices are used to set our horizontal angles to an accuracy of 20 seconds.

5.5. Site is set out to specifications using a typical levelling device and tape.

6. Identify suitability of levelling and surveying equipment for large building projects.

6.1. Differences between various types of specialised surveying equipment are researched and recorded.

6.2. Equipment is used to control set out and vertical is identified.

6.3. Basic differences in survey control and set out between frame and concrete multi-storey buildings is outlined.
