details
Assessment The objective of this assessment is to assess your skills as would be required to
overview 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.

If this assessment requires you to record information, your assessor will provide you with an
appropriate document/template.
In the first instance, you will be required to appraise a range of approval and contract documents and
compile a report in order to advise delegated staff and management of any issues, and to inform
further planning and the operations of the project.
In a future collaborative workshop (Cluster Assessment), you will also delegate and supervise a range
of tasks required to initiate the project and ensure the forecasted construction processes are
adjusted, considering the impact of other current projects on the resource supply and forecasted
time line of this new project.
You are required to produce a report titled ‘Project Supervision Procedures’ for a selected project.
The following Tasks provide details of the contents of the report and are to be written in a
professional manner as would be expected by managers of a medium to large construction company.
The report is to be written in such a way as to provide instructional detail for other staff who will be
delegated to undertake the Tasks. Task 1 is to be headed as Section 1 – ‘Contract Appraisal’. The
report is to provide a portfolio of attachments that are referenced in the report.
Task 1.1
Using a new or current project from your workplace, obtain copies of the local authority approval
documents such as Notices of Determination of the development, Construction Certificates and
other documentation that provides the general and specific conditions relating to the construction.
Information that informs the project planning and operational requirements should also be sourced;
such as the provision of services, demolition and waste management, environmental, imposed traffic
restrictions and site security.
Note: To meet the assessment criteria it is preferable to select a project prior to construction,
however where this is not possible at the time of the assessment a current established project may be
used as the basis for the assessment Tasks.
a) Determine any unusual aspects of the construction that is written into the contract, this may
include specific site restrictions, unusual or excessive financial implications or penalties,
client privileges or responsibilities that could affect scheduling and completion outcomes.
Where there are no unusual conditions in the selected contract, the student is to provide
information relating to potential issues that can typically be found in medium rise
construction contract arrangements, based on their experiences and/or learning.
b) Identify and provide a summary of the materials referenced in the contract and the reason
for their inclusion and if any specialist certifications or advice is required. Where references
do not exist, a statement to that effect is to be included in the report.
Task 1.3
Obtain copies of plans, drawings and specifications related to the project and identify potential issues
arising from the designs that may impact on the project operations and outcomes. The details of this
task are to be included in the report with an appropriate section heading.
You are required to approach this task on a ‘worst case scenario’ basis to ensure project and
construction managers have all the possible risks to assess, accept and control, or reject as they see
fit to do.
Note: You may wish to call on previous work undertaken such as analysis of project risk, structural
requirements and demolition processes to support their findings.
Task 1.4
After reviewing the contract documents, you are to report on the essential requirements when
recruiting suitable subcontractors for the selected project. These requirements are to include
methods of determining a contractor’s availability and suitability to complete the required works
successfully.
The report is to identify at least six trade contractors with specific detail on what assets and
capabilities they should possess, such as licenses, qualifications and experience, to meet the project’s
required quality, safety and time line objectives.
A suitable sub contract document/s is to be sourced and attached as a reference for management to
approve for future subcontractor engagement.
b) You are to provide details of their organisation’s material purchasing arrangements and
summarise any policies and processes that are used, including authorisations of purchase
and payments.
Task 1.6
a) Considering the selected project’s location, provide a detailed report on factors affecting
access to the site. The report will include descriptions of the internal and surrounding road
infrastructure affecting vehicle movement and access, environmental controls that may or
have been required to reduce contamination by vehicles leaving the site.
The report is to include diagrams and photos of the site and surrounds, providing pictorial
details of the controls and methods used to reduce impacts affecting labour and material
resourcing.
b) Given the site size and contouring, provide a site plan detailing the following requirements:
Material storage
Plant and equipment allocations such as crane, concrete pump and trucks
Task 1.7
List the details of the statutory authorities that have been, or will need to be involved with the
selected project. Outline the methods of communication that will be established to ensure the
required obligations are met.
Note: Where applicable use factitious names and contact numbers of any persons involved, however
other details such as the name and section/department of the organisation or authority should be
provided.

projects. The projects will be using many of the same labour and material resources and the
sequencing of the construction operations will determine the success of all the projects under
construction. It is your role as a construction manager (or your assistant), to ensure site staff are fully
informed, appropriately directed and supported when resources are being utilised over a number of
projects.
Task 3.1
Access the construction schedule for the Strathfield Apartments project that was developed in
CPCCBC5002A - Monitor costing systems on medium rise building and construction projects, Skills
Assessment 1 Task 2.1.
Assume there is a second similar project called ‘Eastlands’ for the same client,proposed to start
approximately two months from the start date of the Strathfield Apartments Project. Create a
second baseline (gantt and/or timeline) into the scheduling software to forecast the consecutive
construction operations of ‘Eastlands’. Include predecessors for the project.
Note: The two schedules must be entered into scheduling software capable of combining two
consecutive projects.
Task 3.2

without reference to subparts such as bar chairs; stirrups etc
Labour resources are assumed to be known as ‘preferred’ contractors, and may not
necessarily be engaged to carry out the work, and can be real or fictitious.
Insert unit of measure and/or labour rate (costs and dollar rates are not required)
Additional information that defines the resource relevant to the task.
Note: The following Tasks will analyse the resource allocations to manage clashes, it is not necessary
at this stage of the assessment to ensure resources are being used on only one project at any given
time.
Task 3.3
For each of the project schedules ensure a critical path has been established, and then reviewed for
accuracy.
Using the scheduling software’s functions wherever possible, apply management techniques to both
project schedules to ensure construction elements and activities are achieved efficiently without
clashes and disruption to the baseline project end date.
Evidence of management techniques should include but not limited to:
a) Adjustment of critical events and milestones
b) Alternative labour and material resourcing
c) Applying extra resources to shorten activity duration
d) Extend activity duration outside the critical path
e) Provide network diagrams for forward and backward pass analysis
f) Amending/updating labour and material resource schedules by the inclusion or
deletion of data to adequately manage the projects’ timelines. The data may include:
o Labour, materials, plant and equipment supply and availability data
o Alternative supplier details including relevant terms and trading conditions
o Subcontractor correspondence regarding availability
o Casual hire arrangements
Using the ‘Project Supervision Procedures’ report document, provide a summary of the processes,
techniques and amendments that were made to align the two projects to ensure they will run
efficiently without disruption to contract completion dates.
Task 3.4
Using the ‘Project Supervision Procedures’ report document, provide instructional information that
can be directly or indirectly communicated to site supervisors, subcontractors and suppliers, detailing
strategies for avoiding and overcoming project delays, considering the impacts and implications
when resourcing multiple projects.
Draft an email to the project management team outlining the implications to the project, suggested
controls to mitigate the effects of project delays, and an analysis of how extra labour and material
resourcing will provide an overall cost benefits to the project. Include references to awards to
provide financial detail where overtime is to be considered.
Place the email draft into the ‘Project Supervision Procedures’ report document.

Apartments project Gantt and resource schedules to include the labour, plant and material resource
requirements due to the anticipated wet weather.
Provide notations on the resource schedule, work allocation and usage charts (terminology
dependant on software being used), that indicates the ‘when where and why’ of resource allocation
and adjustments.
Where the above adjustments ‘cascade’ to the Eastlands project, apply the necessary adjustments
and notations to this schedule, ensuring the critical path and completion dates are not impacted.
Task 4.2
Using the Strathfield Apartments or an existing project’s (in the workplace) site plan, the student is to
provide an overlay drawing that identifies the positioning of Temporary Services, Plant and
