Coordinate project designs
Overview
This standard is about coordinating project designs in construction contracting operations management in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction contracting operations management and can be used by operatives, supervisors and managers
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
Identify and coordinate the methods for preparing initial designs* P1 identify which parts of the project require a detailed design P2 identify potential conflicts between parts of the project design and agree solutions P3 assess the suitability of existing design solutions which may meet the project criteria P4 confirm the construction and sustainability criteria which are significant to the overall design and what potential opportunities and constraints there might be in meeting them P5 confirm the methods for developing detailed designs and associated information in accordance with relevant codes of practice P6 confirm with stakeholders, the agreed parameters for the project designs Select materials, components and systems* P7 research and assess the suitability of existing materials, components and systems which meet similar construction and sustainability criteria P8 select approved materials, components and systems that meet the design, construction and sustainability criteria which balance cost and quality P9 confirm the materials, components and systems which meet the construction and sustainability criteria and record them
Analyse, select and present detailed design solutions
P10 identify factors which are likely to influence design solutions
P11 analyse and prioritise the factors which will influence the design solution and resolve any conflicts between them
P12 agree and apply criteria for selecting solutions P13 analyse and test the design solutions against all relevant factors P14 record investigations and analyses including supporting information and pass them on for approval by an authorised person P15 select the preferred design and present it appropriately to stakeholders P16 confirm with stakeholders the estimated cost and construction time for the selected design P17 confirm and record agreement on the design solution with decision makers which allows the project to progress to the next stage
Knowledge and Understanding
You need to know and understand:
Identify and coordinate the methods for preparing initial designs Performance Criteria 1 K1 how, why and what to identify as parts of the overall project which require a detailed design
Performance Criteria 2
K2 how, why and what to identify as potential conflicts between parts of the project design including but not limited to:
• visual and spatial aspects
• functional performance
• technical performance
• quality standards
• relevant legislation and codes of practice
• obsolescence/design life
• health and safety
• environmental factors
• buildability/disassembly
• operation, maintenance and use
Performance Criteria 3
K3 how and why to assess the suitability of existing design solutions which may meet the project criteria
Performance Criteria 4
K4 how to confirm the construction and sustainability criteria which are significant to the overall design and what potential opportunities and constraints there might be in meeting them
Performance Criteria 5
K5 how and with whom to confirm the methods for developing detailed designs and associated information in accordance with relevant codes of practice
Performance Criteria 6
K6 how to confirm with stakeholders, the agreed parameters for the project designs
Select materials, components and systems
Performance Criteria 7
K7 how and why to assess the suitability of existing materials, components and systems which meet similar construction and sustainability criteria in relation to
