1.1 What are site plans? Site plans are the plans which show all site related information, levels, service locations, easements, adjacent properties, setbacks boundaries, site access, building footprint, fence lines, adjacent roads, trees, existing services, proposed demolitions and removals as well as various other items related to the overall site itself. Information contained on a site or block plan would be: Site plans are often to a scale of 200:1 as to have any other scale than this would mean that if drawings are printed in standard sizes they may be illegible. This is not to say that site plans can bedone in other scales, it’s just more common to use 200:1 scale. 1.2 Identify 6 items that would appear on a site plan. 1 Boundary dimensions of the block 2 Distance from street to boundary 3 Set-back distance from front boundary to building line 4 Distance from side boundary to building 5 Contour lines and their height 6 Position of paths and driveways

Elevations provide information relating to vertical measurements and external finishes. Each view isidentified according to the direction it faces, in relation to the points of the compass, based on the north point shown on the site plan. 1.5 What are 3 key aspects which can be found on a set of plans? 1 Floor plans denote the internal layout of the building, it can often include room sizes, wall thicknesses, floor coverings, major fixtures such as toilets, dishwashers, washing machine, door swings as well asfloor heights i.e. FFL (finished floor levels). 2 Site plans show all site related information, levels, service locations, easements, adjacent properties, setbacks boundaries, site access, building footprint, fence lines, adjacent roads, trees, existing services,proposed demolitions and removals as well as various other items related to the overall site itself. 3 Elevations provide information relating to vertical measurements andexternal finishes.

Site Plan Site plans are often to a scale of 200:1 as to have any other scale than this would mean that if drawings are printed in standard sizes they may be illegible. This is not to say that site plans can bedone in other scales, it’s just more common to use 200:1 scale. Elevations Floor plans are oftendrafted in a scale of 1:100 this ensures that a clear picture of the overall dwelling is had. Detail drawings Detail drawings often show things or items that cannot be shown clearly on either the floor plan orelevations due to the scale of said drawings (often 100:1) Detailed drawings can be used to show in other scales (close-up) of the smaller or finer details ofareas to be constructed (often 20:1, 10:1, 5:1, 2:1, 1:1).

Head protection e.g. helmets, caps, hoods, hats Foot protection e.g. shoes/boots Other protection e.g. protective clothing for extremely hot or cold environments 1.8 Explain where you would locate information relating to your specific job plans and environmental laws and regulations. They can be found in documents such as job plans, job specifications and environmental plans and specifications for the jobsite 1.9 How can you ensure you have the most current up to date version of the plans for the site? When checking to verify the latest amendments and specifications to the drawing are current you should always refer to the title panel of the notes, plans or drawings. Amendment registers keep allow for records to be kept which show when changes have been made to the specifications or plans. Always check with a supervisor or the owner as to the currency of plans 10 What would you do if you noticed something that was not to specifications? Who would you contact? Explain your workplace process in detail. Consult the architect or engineer if the variation compromises safety or integrity. If necessary, revised plans would be created specifying the precise corrective actions. To ensure that the problem is recognised and resolved properly, team members must communicate effectively throughout the process. 11 Jeff Allen is the site foreman. You overhear him at 10.30 am after the site toolbox meeting talking to another contractor about amendments that have been made to the site plans since yesterday. The storm water pipes have had changes to the end location point. How should this have been communicated to all staff? How should you verify this information? The changes to the plans should have been discussed at the site toolbox meeting at 0600 on the day of the order of the workload; the plans should be updated immediately to take account of any changes to the appropriate staff. You should confirm this directly with the Site Foreman Jeff Allen, and suggest that he recall all staff that this change may impact into the site office for an emergency meeting about the plans. 12 Abbreviations are frequently used on plans and specifications, including measurement abbreviations and commonly used construction symbols.

Examine the site plan and any supporting architectural drawings thoroughly. List all parts, buildings, and elements that demand particular supplies in a certain amount. Cross-reference the site plan with the project specifications by referring to the specifications. Details on the kind, calibre, size, and quantity of materials needed for each aspect of the project are provided in specifications. After the necessary materials and quantities are established, this data should be recorded in a planned manner. 14How can you confirm the orientation of the plan against the site operations? Orientate the site plan with the site Given that true north refers to the direction to the geographic North Pole, and not the magnetic north point (which always changes), you cannot use a compass to identify true north. Compasses can only be used to identify magnetic north. 15What are specifications? Explain their purpose. A specification is a written document that forms part of the description of the building to be constructed. It supplements the information on the drawings and, like the drawings, is a legal partof the contract between the client and the builder. Purpose of specifications are as follows:- Specifications are commonly used to communicate the following: i. Fixtures and fittings to be used, where things like dimensions, colour or model number areimportant ii. To provide instructions to the builder or tradespeople for how something is to be done. iii. To provide instructions to the builder about things that may not be part of the finished building but that nevertheless need to happen during the project 16Provide 5 examples of ancillary works.
