Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. New unit.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 1.
Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to research and apply compliance requirements to building design documentation for residential, commercial and industrial buildings, as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
The unit applies to additions and renovations to a range of different types of new buildings and existing structures. It supports drafters who assist, and work under the supervision and instruction of an architect or building designer; and who take responsibility, at the level appropriate to their role, for ensuring that building design documentation complies with current and relevant legislation, codes and standards, including the National Construction Code (NCC) and local authority planning schemes.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to building design drafting in some states. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

Assessment requirements
Modification History
Release 1. New unit.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 1.
Performance Evidence
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must be able to provide evidence of the ability to apply compliance requirements to technical construction documentation for the following three different building projects, as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). At least one of the building design projects must include a Class 10 component:
- one Class 1 building
- one Class 2 building
- one building selected from Classes 3 to 9.
At least one of the above building projects must be two storeys and one building project must be three storeys or more.
In each of the projects, the person must:
- develop a body of current research findings relating to the codes and standards affecting compliance of building designs
- analyse compliance requirements in relation to client requests
- review compliance of drawings, including those from other disciplines such as land surveyors, and hydraulic and fire engineers
- amend technical construction documents to ensure compliance with codes and standards
- document and store research findings.
Knowledge Evidence
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the sections of the BCA relevant to the classes and types of buildings specified in the performance evidence, including knowledge of the following:
