Learner Name:
Learner Signature: Date: ____/____/____
1.1 In the construction industry it is important that everybody is a good work planner and
organiser. Explain why.
 Verbally interviewed
Organizing and planning help you get your work done accurately, avoiding costly mistakes.
Organizing your work and planning ahead helps you be more efficient and productive. Being
well-organized and developing effective plans also allows you to achieve important goals and
objectives.
1.2 Before you begin any task, you must know exactly what you are required to do. How do you
determine these requirements?
Start with a goal. Don't live a busy life.

It's not a 9-to-5 job, it's a daily choice. It's a way of thinking and can not be switched off after work.
Make a plan. Plan a strategy to achieve the goal and implement it.

communicated to the public or adapted without permission. Page 16 of 108
1.3 Why is it recommended that you jot down notes when verbally receiving work instructions?
Effective note-taking is an important transferable skill, a skill that can be applied in all aspects of life, socially,
at work and during study. Note-taking is a powerful aid to communication, a way of summarising and
retaining the key points from what you've heard and understood.
1.4 Explain where you would locate information relating to your specific job plans and
environmental laws and regulations.
As you can see from the list above, environmental laws play a huge part in protecting humans,
animals, resources, and habitats. Without these laws, there would be no regulations concerning
pollution, contamination, hunting, or even response to disasters. Environmental law works to protect
land, air, water, and soil
1.5 How are work schedules for construction projects created?
Get Info and Tools. Construction scheduling involves different types of resources, stakeholders
and participants.
Collect and Prioritize Tasks.
Add Duration.
Allocate and Execute. .
Review, Review, Review. .
Gantt Charts for Plans and Schedules.
Resource and Team Management.
1.6 During this planning process, who should you consult with. List 5 parties.
1
Determine your strategic position.
2 Prioritize your objectives.
3
Develop a strategic plan.
4 Execute and manage your plan.
5
Review and revise the plan.
1.7 Why is it important that you work out what tools you will need prior to commencing a work
activity?
A construction phase plan ( PDF ) must be prepared for a project before the construction phase begins. The
plan must outline the health and safety arrangements, site rules and specific measures concerning any work
involving the risks listed in Schedule 3 of the CDM 2015 Regulations.
1.8 List 2 forms or documents that may be used to identify and check faulty tools and equipment.
Examples of equipment failure include: engine failure or misfire, brake failure or stop
controlling device failure, suspension of operation due to heat or other environmental
conditions, failure due to defect in the electronics or circuits, power failure or fuel supply
2 failure, etc..
1.9 SWMS are mandatory for all high-risk construction work activities. Explain the purpose of a
SWMS and the information it contains.
A SWMS is a document that sets out the high risk construction work activities to be carried out at a
workplace, the hazards arising from these activities and the measures to be put in place to control the
risks.
Necessary information required to be completed in a SWMS is: The details of the work that is
considered high risk. The health and safety hazards relating to the work. The control measures that
need to be implemented to minimise or remove the risks.
1.10 Provide 3 examples of scenarios that can impact a work schedule.
Shortage of Employees.
Overscheduling.
Disorganization.
2
Last-Minute Absences. Employee Turnover. ...
Not Planning for Vacations (and Other Paid Time Off)
Lack of Availability.
1.11 Choose one of the scenarios and explain what you would do to manage the situation.
In construction, project managers are responsible for managing all aspects of the construction
project and balancing the entire budget, which includes overseeing the construction management
side.
The definition of a scenario is a series of events that is projected to occur. When you run through
all of the possible outcomes of a conversation in your head, this is an example of a situation where
you run through all possible scenarios.
1.12 Construction processes rarely go according to plan, so why then is a plan necessary?
Construction planning and scheduling improves work efficiency; having effective materials
management and properly distributing resources reduce costs and saves time. Integrated project
controls enhance the capability of a team to ensure project success within schedule constraints and
budget.
1.13 List 5 types of working drawings.

1
Architectural Drawings: This is one of the types of construction drawings.
Structural Drawings
2
Electrical Drawings:
Plumbing and Sanitary Drawings
3 Finishing Drawing
1.14 What items are shown on a floor plan? List 8.
Plans.
2 Interior and exterior elevations.
Building and wall sections.
Interior and exterior details.
Schedules and room finishes.
Framing and utility plans.
3
A floor plan typically shows structural elements such as walls, doors, windows, and stairs, as well as
mechanical equipment for the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. Floor plans use stylized
symbols that often look like the outlines of elements they represent.
4
1.15 How can you ensure you have the most current up to date version of the plans for the site?
Contact your local permit agency or records office. Often these agencies store copies of building
plans for decades after the structure has been built. Ask what information you need to supply in
order to obtain copies of existing blueprints. Provide the required forms and information, and pick up
a copy of your plans.
1.16 How do you confirm the orientation of a plan against the site?
Site plans should include parking diagrams equipped with dimensions, number of parking spaces, the flow of
traffic, and signage. How traffic flows through and around your site is important to know. It will show the
impact your building will have on traffic around the site.
1.17 What are specifications? Explain their purpose.

access and egress.

contours and slopes.
drainage lines.
easements.
environmental and heritage overlays.
existing dwellings, buildings or other structures.
location and situation.
major geological and topographical features.
1.18 How can you confirm the required materials and/or quantities for the site plan? When
confirmed how and where are they recorded?
The chief way to improve the accuracy of a measurement is to control all other variables as much as possible.
Accuracy is a measure of how close your values are to the true value. Precision is a measure of how closely
your successive measurements agree with each other.
1.19 Using the conversion examples shown, convert the measurements in the exercise from
millimetres to metres, and metres to millimetres respectively.
Conversion examples:

Volume = (pi)(0.2m^2)(2.4m)
Volume = (pi)(0.4m2)(2.4m) = 3.01m3
1.29 Calculate the volume of a cube measuring 400mm x 400mm. Show your working out.
Volume = (pi)(0.2m^2)(2.4m)
Volume = (pi)(0.4m2)(2.4m) = 3.01m3
1.30 In a back garden, how many panels of fencing 2.4 m x 1.2 m would be required to build a
fence 32.0 m long by 1.2 m high, to keep an area with safety hazards, sectioned off? Show your
working out.
Measurements Panels :
2.4 m x 1.2 m
Total fence measurementes :
32.0m x 1.2m
32/2.4 = 13.33 panels
1.2/1.2= 1 panels
1.31 Calculate the area of a triangle with a base of 14m and a height of 3m. Show your working

21 m2
1.32 The flat surface of a skillion roof is 24.0 m long with a rafter length of 12.0 m. If a 12.0 m
length of corrugated iron roof sheeting covers a width of 762 mm, how many sheets are required to
cover the roof? Show your working out.
762/1000= 0,762m
24/0,762= 31,50 sheets are required
1.33 A 5m length of pipe is laid at a gradient of 1.65% Calculate the fall.

Divide the pipe's vertical fall by the length of the pipe, then multiply the result by 100 to find the
percentage. The fall and length need to be in the same units (feet or inches) for this to work. For
example, if the pipe fell by one foot and was 50 feet long, you divide 1 by 50 to get 0.02.
1.34 An 8m length of pipe is laid at a gradient of 1:60. Calculate the fall.
A gradient of 1:60 means that there will be 1 unit of fall for every 60 units of patio width. The patio is to be
4.2m wide, so if that distance (the run) is divided by 60, the result is the 1 unit of fall. We'll work in
millimetres rather than metres... So, there needs to be 70mm of fall across the patio.
1.35 Detail the process involved in costing a project.

Project Resource Planning. Resource planning is the process of identifying the resources required to
execute a project and take it to completion.
Cost Estimation.
Cost Budgeting.
Cost Control.
1.36 What documentation is required to accurately estimate construction project costs? List 8
documents.
2 Notifications.
Risk Assessments.
CDM construction phase plan and health and safety file.
Thorough examination reports.
Inspection reports.
3 Arrangements for controlling high risk activities.
Accident Book, Injuries and dangerous occurrences.
1.37 Why might a site visit be necessary in order to prepare an accurate project cost estimate? List
2 reasons.
The estimate aids developers in determining the feasibility and profitability of a potential project. .
2 Perhaps, most importantly, an accurate estimation keeps all parties focused on delivering a
project on time and under budget. It holds a developer and construction company accountable
for increased costs and overruns.
1.38 How can you find out what legislation/regulations/standards might apply to a project being
planned?
planning law means every Enactment for the time being in force relating to the use development
and occupation of land and buildings and every planning permission statutory consent and
agreement made under any Enactment relating to the Building.
1.39 Explain what a ‘WBS’ is, and how it relates to project costing.
For projects, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the tool that utilizes this technique and is one of the
most important project management documents. It singlehandedly integrates scope, cost and schedule
baselines ensuring that project plans are in alignment.
1.40 What role does the resources list play?
Construction resources might include: Products and materials. Construction plant, tools and equipment.
Human resources. Space and facilities.
1.41 What factors can affect resource costs? Give 5 examples.

1
Supply. Energy from nuclear, coal, gas, oil, and renewable sources reacts quickly in response to the
available supply (or lack thereof).
Demand.
Gas Storage.
2 Weather Forecasts.
Generation Changes.
Global Markets.
Imports and Exports.
Government Regulation.
3
1.42 Explain how accurate prices for project components can be sourced.
Designate a Lead Estimator.

Encourage Bottom-Up Estimating.
Gather Detailed Requirements.
Determine Pessimistic, Best Guess, and Optimistic Estimates.
Encourage Communication Among Project Members.
Include Finance and Legal Staff. .
1.43 How do ‘site overheads’ differ from ‘company overheads’?

On Site Overheads means work and items required for the construction of the Works, including without
limitation the items listed in Schedule 1, but excluding any items or work the subject of the Management
Fee, Consultants Fee, Off Site Overheads and Profit Fee or Guaranteed Construction Sum.
1.44 Provide 5 examples of company overheads.
Rent and mortgage payments.

Property taxes.
2 Business insurance.
Monthly cleaning services.
Web hosting.
Monthly phone plan.
Fixed interest payments
3
1.45 What are ‘on-costs’? In your answer, provide 3 examples.

On-costs are labor costs in addition to salaries and wages; that is, payroll tax, workers' compensation and other
liability insurance, the cost of subsidized services to employees, training costs, and so on.
1.46 What is the general range for mark-up percentages?

While there is no set “ideal” markup percentage, most businesses set a 50 percent markup. Otherwise
known as “keystone”, a 50 percent markup means you are charging a price that's 50% higher than the cost
of the good or service.
1.47 What percentage is added to the charge on the supply of most goods and services, in the form
of GST?
Find out how to register and what it means for your business. Goods and services tax (GST) is a tax of 10%
on most goods, services and other items sold or consumed in Australia. If your business is registered for
GST, you have to collect this extra money (one-eleventh of the sale price) from your customers
1.48 The cost of materials to be purchased is $4,582.50. Add the GST percentage to calculate the
total cost. Use a calculator.
mrp=4582.50
gst= 10%
total= $5040.75
1.49 What will be the total cost of fence rail material, if 75 x 50 hardwood is $2.85/m, and you
require 43.2m of fence rail?
Given Rate = $2.85 /m Area = 75x 50 in2 we know that Cost = Rate x Area = 2/85 x 75 x 50 108 2
285 x 75 2 21375 2 = . 10687. 5 So cost = $ 10687.5

1.53 Most organisations use electronic tools and templates to cost projects. Provide 5 reasons why
this is the preferred option.
1
Collaboration. The project management software must allow for collaboration on projects so teams can
work together, either on-site or remotely.
Customizabl
Scalability.
Ease of use.
2 Real-Time Reporting.
Security.
Professional Interface.
Timesheets.
1.54 Discuss how the contents of a JSA and SWMS can impact on the costing of construction work.
JSA and SWMS are safety processes and documents which enable workers and companies to better
identify and control hazards, so that people can conduct their work more safely.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a safety tool that can be used to define and control hazards associated
with a certain process, job, or procedure. It is a systematic examination and documentation of every
task within each job to identify health and safety hazards, and the steps to control each task.
