?Measurements and calculations in one, two and three dimensions
?Principles associated with right-angled triangles to check for square and to calculate lengths and pitches

Communication (LO2):
Work effectively with parties to a construction process
Involves everyday contact on site and the ability to discuss and reach conclusions about work requirements and integration of activities
Involves written, oral and graphic communications

Site establishment and maintenance (LO3):
Site identification to include the site itself, boundaries, building position, & any plants, or physical attributes requiring specific consideration

Set out and building profiles (LO4):
Level of complexity of the set-out must meet or exceed that required to form both internal and external corners on the exterior of the building.
Assessment Criteria: The portfolio is comprised of multiple components. Students need to pass all components of the portfolio and provide sufficient evidence against all learning outcomes in order to pass this module.
