Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Evaluate building environment requirements |
1.1 Utilise network equipment deployment plans to convert network equipment specifications into building requirements data 1.2 Determine planned and forecast network equipment deployment locations and quantities to prioritise tasks 1.3 Formulate justification to proceed by analysing business requirements and benefits to the business 1.4 Analyse current building capacities or capabilities against planned deployment data to determine building environment shortfalls or additional needs 1.5 Determine minimum needs required to address identified building services shortfalls, upgrades or changes 1.6 Identify relevant standards, business and regulatory requirements that are essential for building plan compliance |
2. Scope building design requirements |
2.1 Quantify building requirements from known needs to determine if any standard deliverables can be used 2.2 Assess if requirements can be met using new or alternative solutions 2.3 Provide estimated costs and schedule to determine a planning solution 2.4 Prepare a scoping document and supporting documentation with recommendations that complies with deployment standards and regulatory requirements |
3. Produce project brief |
3.1 Prepare a project scope in required briefing format to present to the design section 3.2 Plan project delivery to meet any business timing and funding constraints 3.3 Produce building planning specifications with approvals and present to the building design section to be used for detailed design or construction specifications |
