Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to supervise site communications, monitor and maintain compliance with codes and standards and implement project administration processes on a building and construction project.

It is strongly recommended that the site, as specified in the performance evidence, is ‘live’ (see Companion Volume for guidance).

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to supervise the administration of quality control compliance and the use of site communications and record keeping systems; and conduct onsite inspections to complete the required project administration processes.

This unit applies to National Construction Code (NCC) classifications:

  • Residential - Class 1 buildings to a maximum of two storeys
  • Commercial - NCC Class 2 to 9, Type C only constructions.

This unit of competency is suitable for builders, site managers, forepersons and other construction industry professionals using specialised knowledge and skills to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the model Code of Practice for Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria by:

1.

Developing a plan to supervise the administration processes for one building and construction project which is either a:

  • Class 1 to a maximum of two storeys, or

  • Class 2 to 9, Type C building

In doing this, the candidate must:

a. Create a plan to implement, administer, maintain and monitor site quality control.

b. Read and understand thoroughly the Site Safety Plan used on site.

c. Outline the communication systems that will be used on site.

d. Outline how systematic gathering of onsite information will be recorded.

e. Develop a progress inspection checklist for at least two trades for a section of building.

2.

Conducting at least one site inspection to evaluate safety, project progress and work quality for at least one section of a building. This worksite must be for a building and construction project which is either a:

  • Class 1 to a maximum of two storeys, or

  • Class 2 to 9, Type C building

In doing this, the candidate must submit the following two documents:

a.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Assessment can be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

A simulated workplace is one that fully replicates the resources, environment and any time and productivity pressures that exist in the actual workplace, and which meets industry standards for safety and environmental practices. The simulated workplace environment must be developed in consultation with industry stakeholders. (see Companion Volume for guidance).

Candidates must have access to:

  • relevant jurisdictional safety legislation and regulations
  • building and construction codes and standards
  • relevant project plans and specifications
  • organisational quality control documentation relevant to supervising the administration of quality control compliance, communications and recording systems, and work progress and quality
