The objective of this assessment is to calculate preliminary labour and material resource costs.
Note: Your assessor will use the role play video recording as the evidence and assess your
performance.
You have organised an informal meeting with your client, Mr or Mrs Brown, to present the
preliminary estimates of the identified construction elements, directed by the Building Designer.
The purpose of the presentation is to present the cost estimate for the identified items. The objective
is to explain to the client that these are estimates only, based on the request from the Building
Designer to assist in formulating a project budget.
It is not normal industry practice to disclose the details of the cost estimates to a client, and as such
you will need to tactfully redirect any requests to show your detailed pricing.
You are to explain to the client that a final price will be worked out later once the Plans and
Specifications have been finalised and the council approval requirements have been identified.
When you are ready to undertake the role play, contact your assessor to book a time. A TAFE
Teacher will play the role of the client, while the assessor will observe you perform the role play.
Your assessor will provide specific information to help you set up the role play and will observe and
record the role play by using Adobe Connect, Skype or other suitable technology.
Note: Your assessor will use the role play video recording as the evidence and assess your
performance in it.
1. Prepare for the meeting by having a summary of your estimates and Mr and Mrs Brown’s
Alterations and Additions – V4004-619.pdf (CPCCBC4004A_AE_Sk_2of4_SR2), with you.
3. Briefly explain the items you have priced including any labour component that you have been
asked to include.
5. Explain how some of these prices such as painting, and plastering would be quoted by the
trade contractor as a ‘supply and fix’ job price and will include their overheads etc.
6. Ensure that the client understands the implications of this contractor pricing arrangement.
7. Use the drawings, specifications and the contract to help explain the items being discussed.
9. Ask the client questions and ensure that they understand their requirements.

You will be required to answer questions about how you have demonstrated these skills after the
role play has been submitted.
