Unit Code VU21967 Unit Title Apply construction techniques to landscape design Unit Descriptor This unit describes the skills and knowledge to incorporate constructed elements into landscape designs, within site and budgetary requirements. It includes the skills and knowledge required to determine when and how to access specialist expertise and technical services. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills. Application of the Unit This unit applies to those who generate and prepare simple landscape designs for projects on residential, commercial or public open spaces. Element Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. Elements describe actions or outcomes that are demonstrable and assessable. Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the required performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element – they identify the standard for the element. Where bold/italicised text is used, further information or explanation is detailed in the required skills and knowledge and/or the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. 1 Incorporate structures and features into a landscape design 1.1 Review the design of structures and features for consistency with the use of the space 1.2 Identify and source any required preliminary specialist expertise 1.3 Select fit for purpose materials that reflect the style and aesthetic of the overall design concept 1.4 Assess the suitability of constructed elements in relation to the physical properties of soils on the site 1.5 Assess the effects of surface and subsurface water and drainage patterns on constructed elements 1.6 Assess drainage requirements to ensure integrity of constructed elements in the design 2 Determine construction requirements 2.1 Evaluate factors that impact on the selection and construction of elements in the design 2.2 Select materials according to their properties and application within the design
