The Course is Split in to the following 3 Units:
Health, Safety and Welfare in Construction and the Built Environment (60 Hours):
Health, safety and welfare are of paramount importance to any organisation operating within the construction industry. The Health and Safety Executive’s annual league table of fatal injuries shows the construction sector consistently tops the table.
The UK and European Union have created a legal framework for prosecuting employers and employees who disregard health, safety and welfare legislation.
To reduce the significant accident record in construction, employers must formulate workplace safety policies. These must address the hazards, risks, policies, the organisational and control arrangements required to promote health, safety and welfare, and be communicated to all parties.
The unit will provide learners with knowledge and understanding of the legal framework relating to employer and employee responsibilities.
An understanding of the principal causes of typical accidents and the associated costs of these will be developed, and learners will explore the methods used to identify workplace hazards in construction, together with the strategies used to control them including the use of risk assessments and monitoring and review procedures. Learners will become familiar with the roles and responsibilities of personnel and with the procedures required following the occurrence of accidents.
Measuring, Estimating and Tendering Processes in Construction and the Built Environment. (60 Hours):
-
Record dimensions and descriptions of construction work in a methodical way and process these into final quantities for varying purposes, eg bills of quantities, variations, final account, interim payments, claims, etc.
-
Understand the purpose of estimating and the common techniques used to price construction work.
-
Calculate all-in costs of materials, labour and plant, together with unit rates, for a variety of construction work.
-
Derive approximate quantities and costs to determine the approximate value of building projects at varying pre-contract development design stages and to understand the limitations on the accuracy that might be achieved.
-
Understand the purpose of tendering, the common techniques used and the relevant documentation and explain the factors that can affect the level of tenders.
Surveying in Construction and Civil Engineering (60 Hours):
-
Understand surveying terminology and be able to use the equipment and instruments typically used to perform linear surveys, record the measurements in a standard from and produce drawings.
-
Be able to use the equipment and instruments typically used to perform levelling surveys, record the measurements in a standard form and produce drawings.
-
Be able to use the equipment and instruments typically used to measure angles, record the measurements in a standard form and produce results from calculations.
-
Be able to perform the setting out of small buildings.
