Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to supervise the systems by which construction materials are selected, acquired and stored on site for swimming pool and spa projects. It includes identifying non-compliant materials to ensure the delivered construction materials meet the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and contract and service specifications.
This reflects the role of builders, managers and related construction industry professionals responsible for applying quality standards to the procurement and onsite storage of materials for the construction of swimming pools in a range of contexts:
- private swimming pools
- public swimming pools, including:
- hydrotherapy and therapeutic exercise pools
- wading and receiving pools associated with water slides
- wave pools.
This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks, and their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.
No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
