Pool & Spa Building Site Survey and Set-Out Procedures

ACT

30 May 2018

This 8-hours SPASA intensive workshop specifies the outcomes required to conduct basic measuring and levelling techniques as part of the set-out procedures performed on swimming pool building projects.

Undertaking a Site Survey is a crucial step in beginning the construction process. Site Surveys done correctly will provide an accurate measurement and mark out the site primary property boundaries and produce preliminary markers to set out where the new swimming pool will be situated on the property.

This investigation will ensure that your property borders are accurate, and that the swimming pool is built exactly where it's supposed to go. Getting these measurements right is vital if you want to avoid building or legal problems after construction begins.

This workshop will include:

  • Use of technical instruments
  • Application of standard procedures
  • Performance of calculations necessary in the set-out of construction projects.

30 May 18

SPASA Victoria

Have you ever wondered why some businesses flourish in a poor economy despite challenges from big corporates and internet online sales giants?

Well it’s not just luck. These businesses understand…

1. Sound business principles

2. What customers want and how they expect these services and products to be delivered

3. That customers are both internal and external and require a clear understanding of the goals and objectives of the business

4. Customer have choices and if your business doesn’t meet their service or shopping criteria or expectations - don’t be surprised if they go elsewhere

5. People make profits, not things, so they invest heavily in education and training to give their staff the opportunity to SHINE

6. They work on ways to continually improve on service levels and the shopping experience

So what type of business are you? If you are not sure - or you feel you may fall short – come and join us for a day and let us help you identify where you’re at and provide you with some insight into what you may need - or what you may need to change - to make your business GREAT!
