Unit 10039, Measure schedules of quantities for specific trade
sections for small buildings.
Explanatory notes
1
Definition
Industry standards include New Zealand standards relevant to quantity surveying,
and also enterprise and organisational standards.
Trade sections are a breakdown of individual trades involved in a building project,
outlining their input into the construction of a building.
2
Measuring at this level relates to civil engineering and all trade sections additional to
those covered by Unit 10039, Measure schedules of quantities for specific trade
sections for small buildings, and includes the application of computer programmes to
the scheduling of quantities.
3
Documents related to selected trade sections include drawings and specifications.
4
All activities must comply with any policies, procedures, and requirements of the
organisation/s involved; the ethical codes of relevant professional bodies; and any
relevant legislative and/or regulatory requirements.

Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1
Assemble quantity surveying documentation relevant to specialist trade sections.
Evidence requirements
1.1
Documentation covering all aspects of construction is identified, assembled,
and integrated, ready for schedule of quantity preparation.
Range
1.2
preliminary and general work;
six of – demolition, excavation, underpinning, piling, concrete
work, precast concrete, reinforcing steel, structural steel, mastic
asphalting, stone masonry, metalwork, metal windows and doors,
carpentry (laminated timber), joinery, proprietary partitions,
plumbing and gasfitting, drainage, solid plaster, tiling, terrazzo
work, site works;
two of – mechanical services, fire protection, electrical services.
Discrepancies in assembled documents are identified, and procedures are
implemented to correct them.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, or
an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can
report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading
to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Consent requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
