Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Interpret and scope civil works design requirements
  • 1.1 Access, interpret and apply Civil works design documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant
  • 1.2 Obtain, read, interpret, clarify and confirm work requirements
  • 1.3 Advise the client on the implications for sustainability and options for an improved environmental outcome in the project
  • 1.4 Analyse the client requirements for the design criteria to ensure all appropriate specifications are included
  • 1.5 Confirm that all development and implementation factors are accounted for
  • 1.6 Prepare functional specifications applying engineering standards and the design specifications
  • 1.7 Document and obtain the client’s agreement on the criteria
2. Identify civil works project design options and determine the preferred design option
  • 2.1 Identify innovative approaches to the development of the design concept
  • 2.2 Investigate and analyse the possible design concepts capable of achieving the design requirements
  • 2.3 Seek advice from appropriate personnel and sources where the concept proposal has nonstandard engineering requirements or where new technology may apply
  • 2.4 Collaborate with the client to adapt the design concept to improve the outcomes and overcome problems
  • 2.5 Advise the client of the likely impacts on the community
3. Initiate, monitor and support the design of civil works
  • 3.1 Analyse and select resources, processes and systems to develop the design
  • 3.2 Arrange design tasks to meet the agreed outcomes and cost structure
  • 3.3 Develop and check the design solution using the engineering specification
  • 3.4 Create (when appropriate) a demonstration model of the design
4. Prepare and maintain documentation during the civil works design process
  • 4.1 Establish the documentation management process
  • 4.2 Ensure that the supporting documentation required to implement the design is accurate, concise, complete and clear
  • 4.3 Ensure that the designed item is identified by agreed design documentation and records
  • 4.4 Apply the agreed documentation control process when making changes to design
  • 4.5 Ensure that the documentation for the design remains accurate and current during the design development
5. Review civil works design to achieve acceptance
  • 5.1 Review the design to ensure that the client’s requirements are met
  • 5.2 Inform the user of the likely impact on the user’s lifestyle
  • 5.3 Incorporate corrections and make improvements to the design ensuring social responsibilities, such as sustainability are met
  • 5.4 Review the design with the client to gain documented acceptance
6. Support the application of civil works designs
  • 6.1 Prepare and implement plans to verify that completed physical work meets client’s requirements
  • 6.2 Develop periodic test schedules to monitor performance and enable others to take any corrective action necessary
  • 6.3 Seek feedback from the commissioning process to facilitate corrective actions or improvements
  • 6.4 Evaluate the performance of the design outcomes in the user’s environment using appropriate tools
  • 6.5 Evaluate community reaction to the design outcome
