Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for survey | 1.1 Discuss detailed requirements and arrange access to site with key stakeholders 1.2 Examine regulatory and statutory requirements associated with telecommunications project 1.3 Determine need for specialist studies for site |
2. Survey land, buildings and facilities | 2.1 Survey existing buildings to assess capability of meeting changes required for project 2.2 Collect information through site survey 2.3 Determine environmental impact of development 2.4 Estimate impact of prevailing weather conditions on planned changes 2.5 Assess and document building options should new structure be necessary 2.6 Assess geographical nature of land and determine barriers to signalling |
3. Report findings and recommendations | 3.1 Outline survey findings and recommendations to accommodate project requirements on site 3.2 Develop options to meet planned changes and associated cost-benefit data 3.3 Complete report and forward to relevant stakeholders following relevant procedures |
