PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
Learners who are assessed as competent against this unit standard will be able to demonstrate a working knowledge and understanding of paving activities and coordinate and control these activities in order to ensure that quality, safety and site specifications are adhered to.

This competence forms part of the Elective learning and represents a specific context of supervision, i.e. supervising paving processes.

It contributes to the development of a professional community of Building Construction Supervisors. The contribution to The National Skills Development Strategy is the key developmental interface between learners and new competencies to be achieved.

Its contribution to socio-economic transformation is that learners would be able to undergo RPL-assessment and thereby receive recognition for previous learning and experience. The employability and career prospects of learners can therefore be enhanced by this qualification. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
NQF level 3 Language and Mathematics

The following competencies:
1. Reading and interpreting construction drawings and specifications
2. Compiling a works programme
3. Setting out work areas 

UNIT STANDARD RANGE
