Background
To support the role of the builder in being able to produce construction industry documentation, students
have access to a professional intranet that provides a simulated building company, RB Holdings. RB
Holdings functions as a simulated workplace environment where project-based assessments can be
undertaken using industry standard documentation, plans, activities, responsibilities and procedures. The
RB Holdings business structure allows simulation of work environments such as, but not limited to, design
offices, site offices and construction sites. RB Holdings provides students with relevant documentation that
is to industry standard that allows students to experience a professional simulation of a construction office
environment. RB Holdings is a simulated organisation that has been created purely for educational
purposes. RB Holdings materials are accessed via a secure website that is copyright of © TAFE NSW.
RB Holdings has an organisational policy that requires you, as one of its staff members, to produce material
and labour estimates no later than 5 working days from receiving the request from your manager. The
information calculated must be to the quality standards required by RB Holdings, that is, accurate quantity
take-off and calculations in accordance with “Standard Method of Measurements”. Calculations, costings
and communications must be created in accordance with standard RB Holdings policies and procedures.
You will need to calculate the following costs based on the information provided in this assessment event.
You are to demonstrate your competence at task management skills by developing your own spreadsheet
from a costing software program of your choice to calculate the materials and labour requirements
To establish your task management skills, YOU MAY NOT use any pre-prepared spreadsheets previously

Now the size calculated above is 53.37 m3.
Number of boards required = 53.37/0.01008
= 5294.642
= 5295 Pieces
Price = 5295 * $39.72 = $ 2,10,317.4
The websites which have been used are:
 https://adxdepot.com.au/16mm-scyon-linea-weatherboard-4200-x-150mm ( for price)

With allowed 2.5% waste = 132.86 m2 = 133 m2
Task 3.2 – Calculate floor covering costs
Using the following price guide, you are required to calculate the total cost of floor coverings:
 High Quality nylon/wool blend @ $115.00 per m 2
 Laminate floating floor @ $58.00 per m2.
Cost:
At 115.00 per m2 = 115.00 * 202.83 = $ 23325.45
At $58.00 per m2 = 58.00 * 202.83 = $ 11764.14
Task 3.3

You are required to calculate the labour time on site for the carpet and timber floor layers based on the
advice from the suppliers.
 2 x carpet layers able to lay 3m2 per hour. This includes time to transport, placement and clean-up
 3 x timber floor layers (may be the carpet layers doing this job) able to lay 4.5m 2 per hour. This
includes time to transport, placement and clean-up.
Speed of 2 carpet layers doing their job = 3 m 2/hr
Now is the required speed being 1 m 2/hr = 0.66 carpet layers
For 202.83 m2 it will be 135 carpet layers including everything.
Now 4.5 m2/hr for 3 timber floor layers
Now is the required speed being 1 m 2/hr = 0.66 timber floor layers
Hence both are the same since both values come the same.

restrict access to a construction site in accordance with Local Authority Approval requirements and
statutory WHS Legislation.
Locate the construction site's access point(s) such that existing traffic and/or pedestrians are not
inconvenienced. Note: If the access point is not already in place or designated in a development
authorisation, you will need a separate Roads Act approval from the Council for temporary vehicular
access. The Roads Act will require approval for temporary fencing / barrier systems installed within the
road reserve. This requires submitting a formal application to Council and paying a fee. Fees are also
charged for continued use of the road reserve until the construction is finished and the temporary fencing /
barrier system is removed. The use of the route for truck and equipment parking is not included in the
approval for a temporary fence construction. A separate work zone permit from Council is required. A map
of the location. The network typically (open, solid fencing, overhead protective structure, scaffolding, or
barrier fencing, for example). z Information about the estimated duration, any staged movement, and/or
anticipated changes to the type of temporary fencing / barrier system. z A copy of the certificate of
currency demonstrating the Principal Contractor's $10 million public liability and NSW workers
compensation insurances. The Blue Mountains City Council must be named as an insured party on the
general liability coverage.

Part 2: Role play
Conduct a consultation with a third party (played by a TAFE Teacher) who will play the role of the
client, Mr or Mrs Brown. You are to play the part of the builder who will be supervising the
construction of the new house for Mr & Mrs Brown. Allow 15-20 minutes to prepare for the
consultation. The recording should take no longer than 10 minutes.
The meeting is to take place in a simulated building company’s office, and the video is to initially
confirm the components that substantiate this as an office environment (e.g. desk and phone, job
records in files on a shelf or a filing cabinet, computer with screen, etc.)
Demonstrate effective communication skills that are clear and direct, use questioning to confirm
requirements and share information using concepts and language applicable to the audience.
Considerations for cultural differences must be observed (e.g. use of appropriate vocabulary). In
addition, attention must be given to non-verbal communication (including body language, facial
expression, eye contact and gestures).
The assessor will provide specific information to help you set up the role play and will observe and
record the role play by using Adobe Connect, Skype or other suitable technology.
Note: Your assessor will use the role play video recording as the evidence and assess your
performance.
Task 1: Conduct a meeting
You have organised an informal meeting with your client, Mr or Mrs Brown, to present the
preliminary estimates of the identified construction elements, directed by the Building Designer.
The purpose of the presentation is to present the cost estimate for the identified items. The objective
is to explain to the client that these are estimates only, based on the request from the Building
Designer to assist in formulating a project budget.
It is not normal industry practice to disclose the details of the cost estimates to a client, and as such
you will need to tactfully redirect any requests to show your detailed pricing.
You are to explain to the client that a final price will be worked out later once the Plans and
Specifications have been finalised and the council approval requirements have been identified.
When you are ready to undertake the role play, contact your assessor to book a time. A TAFE
Teacher will play the role of the client, while the assessor will observe you perform the role play.
Your assessor will provide specific information to help you set up the role play and will observe and
record the role play by using Adobe Connect, Skype or other suitable technology.
Note: Your assessor will use the role play video recording as the evidence and assess your
performance in it.

Role Play Preparation
The video should be no longer than 8-15 minutes.
The student should:
1. Prepare for the meeting by having a summary of your estimates and Mr and Mrs Brown’s
Alterations and Additions – V4004-619.pdf (CPCCBC4004A_AE_Sk_2of4_SR2), with you.
2. Introduce themselves and the company they work for.
3. Briefly explain the items you have priced including any labour component that you have been
asked to include.
4. Make sure the client understands these items.
5. Explain how some of these prices such as painting, and plastering would be quoted by the
trade contractor as a ‘supply and fix’ job price and will include their overheads etc.
6. Ensure that the client understands the implications of this contractor pricing arrangement.
7. Use the drawings, specifications and the contract to help explain the items being discussed.
8. Answer any questions the client may have in simple terms.
9. Ask the client questions and ensure that they understand their requirements.
10. Make a note about the client’s comments on the pricing.
Name of the student: Greetings, everyone! I'm (Student's name) from RB Holdings, and I'll be
providing several design and budget quotes for a modification and extension to their existing house
at 1 Lake Road Toronto NSW.
Mr. Brown: Thank you, sir. Hello and good morning. So, my name is Mr. Brown, and these repairs
must be made to my home.
Student: We are delighted to have you as a customer. It was extremely simple to determine the
various costs that will arise in the house after glancing at the drawings. These expenses should be
cushioned by 5-10% because the price can fluctuate based on the condition. The cost of the different
works in the extension for the first floor, including external wall cladding, floor covering, interior
lining, and painting, is estimated to be around $15660, with a buffer cost of $4000, for a total cost of
around $18800. If additional additions are made, these expenses will change.
Mr. Brown: Thank you, sir. Ok. So that also implies I won't have to worry about any additional
charges, right? Also, could you perhaps explain what the various labour costs are?
Student: These cost estimates are intended to ensure that the customer incurs no more charges
unless anything serious occurs during the construction process. Also, consider the labour cost, which
was calculated using conventional labour costs. In addition, the length of time required for
completing is specified in a strict on-time manner, with no buffer time. This is not only troublesome,

but it can also rise depending on the site's state. The total labour cost for the supply and repair job is
approximately $ 83,89,271.13.
Teacher: That's all right. What about the various vendor charges, as well as the profit margins they
typically take?
Student: Rest assured, when these expenses were anticipated, the vendor's charges as well
as the cost of ensuring that all of the products required are bought of excellent quality with
some buffer supplies as the task must be done on time were also factored in. Because
several sub-contractors will be utilised to finish the work, it has been determined that the
profit margin for these sub-contractors will be taken into account, causing the cost to rise
slightly, and it has been determined that the work on the house will be completed as quickly
as feasible. This is why the cost of these is so high: speedier work necessitates more people
working at once, raising the total cost of labour at work. As previously said, to guarantee
that costs do not exceed budget, cushion sums are taken into account to ensure that the
money flow is sufficient to complete the work on time.
Teacher: Could you perhaps explain how these costs are determined?
Student: Take a look. Mr. Brown, these costs are determined using the various drawings
provided, which make it clear about the various works required in the house to be
completed. It is extremely important to ensure that the work done on the house is of high
quality, and many of the items in the house must be repaired in order for the work to be
completed. This also implies that there will be a fee associated with the recycling of the
items that will be removed from the residence. These charges are compared to the base cost
to ensure that environmental protection rules are obeyed, making the different licences for
the house easier to get. Though you may think the price is enormous, these charges include
a number of buffer regions that, when not used, reduce the total cost by roughly 20%.
Teacher: While it's great that every conceivable expense has been assessed, don't you think
the cost estimate is a little high?
Student: Sir, since these are the general methods of ensuring a continuous flow of cash to
ensure that loss due to construction delays is eliminated to the greatest extent possible. It is
advisable to have all the materials required on order from the start so that they can arrive
on time. These cash flows must be accessible on time, which is why building costs are so
high.
