Unit of competency
Modification History
|
Release 1 |
This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBC6016A Assess construction faults in large building projects. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012. |
Application
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to identify construction faults in large, high-rise and complex buildings and define the problem. It includes analysing faults, determining alternative options and methods and deciding on a reasonable and compliant solution.
It applies to builders and other related construction industry professionals who identify the root cause of construction faults, clarify key issues and establish processes to remediate faults.
This unit of competency supports builders, project managers and related construction industry professionals responsible for assessing construction faults, addressing complex construction problems and seeking advice from relevant experts to eliminate potential future implications.
Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
