Unit of competency
Modification History
|
Release 1 |
This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBC5006B Apply site surveys and set-out procedures to medium rise building projects. Change to title. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012. |
Application
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply site surveys and set-out procedures to building and construction projects up to three storeys. It includes the skills and practices required to set out building projects, measure, record and interpret data using measuring and levelling equipment.
It applies to National Construction Code (NCC) classifications:
- Residential - Class 1 and 10 buildings, maximum three storeys
- Commercial - Class 2 to 9, Type B and C.
This unit of competency supports builders, surveyors and related construction industry professionals who have responsibility for applying design concepts and principles to survey and site set-out on building and construction projects up to three storeys.
Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Licensing, regulatory or registration requirements apply to this unit of competency in some jurisdictions. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm these requirements.

Foundation Skills
As well as the foundation skills explicit in the performance criteria of this unit, candidates require:
- numeracy skills to:
- interpret, calculate and transfer project plan dimensions to on site set-out.
- technology skills to:
- use a range of sophisticated levelling equipment to optimise set-out outcomes
- use applications to access, extract and share information.
