Definitions
A building profile is used to transfer the plan outline of a building onto the ground.
Profile boards are held securely in place, and are made level and parallel to the floor.
Plant is used as in the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 to mean
appliances, equipment, fittings, furniture, implements, machines, machinery, tools,
vehicles, plus parts, controls, and anything connected.
Profile boards are boards used to create the building profile. Lines are stretched
between saw-cuts or marks, so that set out points can be fixed.
Site documents refer to any official documentation for the site, and may include
consents, working drawings, plans and specifications, reports, producer statements,
any relevant industry standards, or any other documentation critical to the
construction process.
