How to use this calculator

Project and review scope

A pre-lodgement review record for one survey plan against the authority or client requirement you name. Evidence is referenced by filename — no CAD or PDF is opened. It is not a lodgement approval and supplies no statutory criteria.

Authority profile and missing-evidence register

Build your own requirement list for this authority or client — one per line as “requirement | evidence filename”. A requirement with no filename is listed as missing evidence. Download the list to reuse it on the next plan; nothing is uploaded and no file is opened.

  • Check: Submission authority not named — the profile has no owner.
  • Note: No authority requirements entered. Add your own (one per line, “requirement | evidence filename”) — none are supplied.
  • Problem: Review sign-off not recorded — an unsigned review stays outstanding.

Review status: Not reviewed

Review progress 0 of 23 applicable rows verified (0%)

Outstanding critical findings

How to use this calculator

  1. Record the plan purpose, submission authority, requirement version, drawing number, revision, datum/projection, scale and checker.
  2. Build the authority profile: one requirement per line as “requirement | evidence filename”. Download it to reuse on the next plan, or load a saved one.
  3. Review identity, measurement labels, closure, control, layout, attachments, the revision register and packaging; export the missing-evidence register and the full record.

How it works

Each requirement without an evidence filename is listed as missing evidence and blocks “Ready for reviewer”; so does an unrecorded review sign-off. Evidence is cross-referenced by filename — no CAD or PDF is opened or uploaded.

Datum, the requirement version, linked evidence and the revision sign-off are critical rows: they stay in the outstanding list, the export and the printout until a person verifies them.

No statutory lodgement criteria are supplied. The requirement list is yours, typed or loaded from your own profile file.

Worked example

Two findings that must both survive. Every section is verified except the datum row (not shown on sheet 1) and the revision sign-off (Rev C not yet signed). Both stay as critical Action required findings: the status reads Action required, the printout lists both under “Critical rows not verified”, and the exported JSON keeps both rows unresolved.

Frequently asked questions

What has actually been checked?

Only what a person marked Verified, with the evidence they recorded. Evidence filenames are references you typed; the tool does not open, compare or validate the files.

Can I use my own project requirements?

Yes. Build an authority-specific requirement list, download it as a profile and load it for the next plan. Add your own rows (they get stable IDs), and mark rows that do not apply as Not applicable with a reason.

Does a complete checklist prove the work complies?

No. “Ready for reviewer” is your declaration that every applicable row is verified. Lodgement acceptance is decided by the authority against its current rules.

Is this official course material?

No. It is free study support mapped to surveying course levels — not official North Metropolitan TAFE content or advice. Always follow your lecturer and the official assessment brief, and check your own working.
