Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan and prepare. |
1.1. Work instructions, including plans, specifications, quality requirements and operational details, are obtained, confirmed and applied from relevant information for planning and preparation . 1.2. Safety (OHS ) requirements are followed in accordance with safety plans and policies. 1.3. Signage and barricade requirements are identified and implemented. 1.4. Tools and equipment selected to carry out tasks are consistent with job requirements, checked for serviceability, and any faults are rectified or reported prior to commencement. 1.5. Material quantity requirements are calculated in accordance with plans, specifications and quality requirements. 1.6. Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use. 1.7. Environmental requirements are identified for the project in accordance with environmental plans and statutory and regulatory authority obligations, and are applied. |
2. Identify and indicate site boundaries. |
2.1. Survey pegs at corners of site are located and identified in accordance with job drawings, specifications and site topography . 2.2. String lines are set accurately into position to identify site boundary markings in accordance with site plan and survey pegs. |
3. Set out first line for building alignment. |
3.1. Measurements of building line from boundary or existing building are determined from site drawings for setting out . 3.2. Approximate position and length of line, plus building clearance measurement at each end, are determined for hurdle location in accordance with site plan and survey pegs. 3.3. Pegs and hurdles/profiles are installed approximately level across and between one another with adequate provision to mark footing width on hurdle/profile in accordance with job drawings and specifications. 3.4. Location for line is accurately marked with nails on hurdles/profiles and line is set taut into position to true alignment with boundary in accordance with job drawings and specifications without error. |
4. Set out right angled corners. |
4.1. Corner of building is determined on set building line to true measurement from adjacent boundary and marked with peg in accordance with job drawings and specifications. 4.2. Right angle is set up to line from corner peg using triangulation principles. 4.3. Hurdles/profiles are installed to approximate level of other hurdles and line is set taut to right angled alignment. |
5. Install other building lines. |
5.1. Hurdles for remaining building lines are installed to appropriate locations, approximately level with established hurdles in accordance with job drawings and specifications. 5.2. Measurements for remaining building lines are accurately marked and nailed on hurdles to dimensions from site drawings. 5.3. String lines are set taut into position to nailed locations on hurdles in accordance with job drawings and specifications. |
6. Building lines are checked for square. |
6.1. Diagonal measurements are checked for square and lines are adjusted to provide square relationship within 5mm tolerance over minimum diagonal length of 15m. 6.2. Measurements are checked for accuracy. |
7. Clean up. |
7.1. Work area is cleared and materials disposed of, reused or recycled in accordance with legislation, regulations, codes of practice and job specification. 7.2. Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and standard work practices. |

Evidence Guide
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 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:
|
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:
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:
Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:
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. |
