Course Description
In this course you will cover the outcomes required to supervise the planning process and organisation of on-site building or construction work projects up to and including medium rise commercial and wide span buildings (medium rise licensing classification with reference to Class 1 and 10 construction, Class 2 and 3 to a maximum of 3 storeys, Class 4 to 9 to a maximum of 3 storeys, not including Type A construction). Successful supervision of planning and organisation requires effective interpretation of contractual and planning requirements and development of strategies for using human and physical resources effectively in order to comply with contractual obligations. In order to achieve the outcomes for this unit, knowledge of relevant building and construction planning practices, state or territory building and construction codes, standards and regulations and human resource principles and practices is required.

Critical Aspects of Evidence |
Describe how assessments meet the critical aspects of evidence |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to: | |
|
AT1 requires students to translate the building contract into a plan for information gathering and project planning. |
|
AT1, AT4 and AT5 requires students to setup templates and arrangements that delegate responsibility for project planning and implementation tasks. |
|
AT1, AT2, AT3 and AT4 require the student to undertake construction planning processes. |
|
AT1, AT2, AT3 and AT4 requires the student to make resource decisions to create and implement plans. |
|
AT1, AT2, AT3 and AT4 requires the student to make leadership decisions to support project management. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Describe how assessments meet the context of and specific resources for assessment |
This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. |
The student will complete this work-based task in a safe simulated environment. |
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. |
AT3 and AT6 require students to answer knowledge based questions. |
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. |
AT1 requires students to identify and apply regulatory and standards requirements and apply them to their planning and implementation activities. |
Resource implications for assessment include: |
|
|
AT1 provides access to documentation consistent with a building and construction site for the purposes of planning the project. |
|
AT1 requires students to identify and apply regulatory and standards requirements and apply them to their planning and implementation activities. |
|
AT1, AT2, AT3 and AT4 require the student to use different office equipment to carry out work functions. |
|
AT1, AT2, AT3 and AT4 require the student to use different software to carry out work functions. |
|
AT1, AT2, AT3 and AT4 require the student to use access and use a range of internal and external sources of information to inform plans. |
|
AT2 requires students to carry out activities on a safe worksite. AT1, AT3 and AT4 requires students to carry out activities in an office environment. |
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. |
Please refer to RMIT guidelines on reasonable adjustment processes. |
