Survey, Recovery, Material and Pattern
Monitor pre-lift records, module recovery, classification, storage and matching replacement.
How to prepare for supervisor assessment
Build the technical knowledge needed to judge work, then rehearse the supervisor evidence loop: review, observe, compare, intervene, record and verify.
Core concepts
Concept 1
The original pattern, line, level, special units, tactile layout and fixed features are recorded before lifting.
Exam cue: Photograph and measure before disturbance.
Concept 2
Modules are lifted and cleaned to maximise reuse, then separated by suitability for permanent, interim or disposal routes.
Exam cue: Protect reusable modules from breakage and contamination.
Concept 3
Replacement matches more than colour: type, dimensions, finish, strength and accessibility function matter.
Exam cue: Escalate unavailable special or tactile units before laying.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Lifting before recording the bond.
Guardrail: Do not treat a card, checklist or previous site as proof that the current work complies; inspect the evidence and close every defect.
Mixing reusable units with waste.
Guardrail: Do not treat a card, checklist or previous site as proof that the current work complies; inspect the evidence and close every defect.
Replacing tactile paving with a visual colour match only.
Guardrail: Do not treat a card, checklist or previous site as proof that the current work complies; inspect the evidence and close every defect.
Memory anchors
Record Before Recovery
Capture pattern and special features.
Lift to Reuse

Sort by Suitability
Keep permanent, interim and waste separate.
Match Function and Form
Colour alone is insufficient.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
