Unit of competency
Modification History
|
Release 1 |
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 11.0. Supersedes and is not equivalent to CPPBDN4001 Research and evaluate construction materials and methods for building design projects. CPPBDN4001 Research and evaluate construction materials and methods for building design projects was split to create two units. This unit is based on the construction materials component. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012. |
Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to investigate construction materials for Class 1 and 10 buildings, as defined in the National Construction Code (NCC). It includes determining the application and performance of commonly available construction materials and identifying suitable materials to comply with relevant sections of legislation, Australian Standards and the NCC.
The unit applies to drafters who work under the supervision of building designers or architects to identify and apply information and data on construction materials across building design projects. Drafters use specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable drafting problems.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
