1 Identify, assess and agree project requirements in asbestos bulk Overview This unit is about identifying, and agreeing project requirements in asbestos surveying and. 1

2 Performance criteria You must be able to: P1 clarify the project stakeholders; understanding of project processes P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 P10 P11 P12 P13 and the roles of those who need to be involved identify and agree with project stakeholders what their bulk requirements are both now and for the future identify and check any relevant investigations which have already been made, identify information which is not valid, and obtain additional valid information which is needed select data which is relevant and valid, analyse it and qualify its status clarify the project stakeholders circumstances and requirements, the options available and the constraints and risks which might apply to the project advise project stakeholders about regulatory requirements to enable them to make informed decisions investigate and identify the factors that are likely to affect the approach to the project explain and discuss any significant constraints and areas of uncertainty develop a realistic outline timetable which takes account of identified constraints and risks summarise and present in writing the project requirements estimate and confirm the cost and timescale of the project challenge project requirements which do not appear to be realistic, decide valid options negotiate a clear and mutually acceptable agreement on the brief which is in sufficient detail to allow work to start on the next stage of the project 2
