Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to produce two-dimensional (2-D) architectural drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) software. It includes preparing drawings from project briefs, sketches, drawings and plans for residential and commercial projects.

This unit applies to those who work are responsible for preparing architectural drawings.

This unit is suitable for people operating with some autonomy. A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without needing close supervision.

In some jurisdictions, this unit of competency may form part of accreditation, licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
