Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to set out a site for construction works, planning, preparing, locating and marking out construction works, establishing survey benchmarks and verifying site levels in accordance with site plans and specifications. This may be done in advance of proposed works or in conjunction with construction works already being carried out.

The unit applies to individuals who set out site for construction works under broad direction, and take responsibility for their own work and for the quality of the work of others.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Plan and prepare work

1.1 Interpret and compare site plans and specifications with other available plans

1.2 Identify potential hazards and risks, and implement safe working practices to manage risks

1.3 Select tools and equipment required for setting out construction works, and check for safe operation

1.4 Interpret environmental impact of proposed construction works in conjunction with site plans

2. Locate and mark out position of construction works

2.1 Locate existing site features from site plan

2.2 Locate position of proposed construction works

2.3 Using correct scale, transfer scale measurements of lines, shapes, angles and dimensions from site plan to site

2.4 Mark out shape of proposed construction works on site

3. Establish benchmark for construction works

3.1 Identify site datum from plans and specifications to ensure all existing and proposed construction works can be linked by survey equipment

3.2 Find or establish suitable benchmark for site works according to site plans or specifications

3.3 Set out correct reduced levels on site in comparison to benchmark based on plans and specifications

3.4 Interpret reduced levels in relation to benchmark
