Performance Evidence
An individual demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria of this unit. There must be evidence that, on at least three occasions, the individual has installed prefabricated timber building systems on-site, for two or more panelised or modular prefabricated timber building system types, including:
