Assessment criteria

Reproduced verbatim from the Pearson specification — the same grid the assignment brief carries. A unit grade is the highest band where all criteria in that band (and every band below it) are met.

Pass

7 criteria
A.P1Describe three examples of structural forms used in the construction of low-rise domestic buildings
A.P2Assess the main functions of buildings and their elements.
A.P3Describe the primary services provided to low-rise construction projects
B.P4Describe the methods and techniques used in the preconstruction and groundwork phases of low-rise domestic construction projects.
B.P5Describe the methods and techniques used in the substructure phase of low-rise domestic construction projects
C.P6Describe modern and traditional methods and techniques used in the superstructure phase of low-rise domestic construction projects
C.P7Describe the provision of external works to low-rise domestic buildings

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Explain how building elements and primary services are integrated into low-rise domestic buildings
B.M2Compare the different methods and techniques used in the pre-construction, groundwork, substructure and external works for a low- rise domestic building
C.M3Assess the methods and techniques used in the construction of the superstructure in terms of their suitability for modern methods of construction

Distinction

2 criteria
A.D1Evaluate a modern low-rise domestic building in terms of how the structural form addresses the intended design function of the building
BC.D2Evaluate two given construction methods and techniques in terms of their contribution to the performance-in-use of a low-rise building

Command verbs in this unit

The verb decides the depth expected — that is what separates Pass from Merit and Distinction work on the same learning aim.

DescribeAssessExplainCompareEvaluate
Pearson's ladder runs Identify → Describe → Explain → Compare / Analyse → Evaluate / Justify / Assess. A Merit or Distinction criterion on the same aim always implies the Pass beneath it: an “evaluate” answer that never first “explains” fails, however polished it reads. Hover a verb for what it demands.

How checkb.tech checks this unit

Upload a learner's submission and checkb.tech reads it against exactly these criteria, reporting each one as met, partly met, or not met — with the evidence that informed the verdict cited, so every call is auditable.

The check runs against the official Pearson documents for this unit, and identical evidence always produces an identical result — the same script gets the same verdict every time.

It never awards a grade. You stay the assessor: confirm, dismiss, or act on every criterion before your assessment decision is final.
