Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0.

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCST3012A Build stone veneer walls. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to build single leaf stone block face walls to a metal or timber wall frame construction.

This unit applies to stonemasons who work independently, in a team or under supervision to build stone veneer walls relating to stonemasonry work on a new or existing structure.

A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without needing close supervision.

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 CPCCWHS1001 Prepare 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.
