Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret and apply a broad range of information into the design of timber wall frames. It includes applying detailed information for the preparation of timber wall frame drawings, production documents and installation instructions using custom software for timber systems design.

This unit applies to timber systems designer and fabricators who use their own judgment to deal with predictable and unpredictable problems and decide on solutions to a range of complex problems during the documentation preparation process.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for design of layout plans

1.1 Read and interpret building plans and specifications to determine and verify applied loads and other design factors

1.2 Interpret and apply relevant building codes, regulations and standards for timber wall frame design

1.3 Confirm workplace quality requirements for the design of timber wall frames

1.4 Consult with stakeholders/clients to clarify design requirements

1.5 Identify and resolve design, production and/or installation issues outside software limitations, and seek appropriate advice

1.6 Check custom computer software for currency

2. Design and review design options

2.1 Design and draft a timber wall layout plan

2.2 Review design to confirm it meets client requirements and complies with appropriate building regulations, codes and standards

2.3 Review layout to confirm it optimises efficiency of material use and production procedures

2.4 Amend design options if necessary

3. Design production and installation documentation

3.1 Confirm dimensions, opening measurements and timber wall frames heights from building plans and specifications

3.2 Input applied spans, loads and data into software and create a wall frame layout

3.3 Prepare and produce production and client installation documentation according to workplace quality requirements

3.4 Certify wall frame design complies with relevant building regulations, codes and practices, according to regulatory and workplace requirements

3.5 Store drawings and documentation according to workplace procedures

Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that the individual has designed layout plans and developed production and installation documentation using timber systems design software for two projects:

  • one standard height timber wall project and one raking timber frame project with a pitch of greater than 5 degrees with one being fire rated.

Each project must include:

  • a minimum of ten walls
  • internal, external and butting intersections
  • a minimum of four openings, two with a minimum span of 2.4 m.

Knowledge Evidence

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

  • building industry regulations, codes and standards for timber wall frames:
  • National Construction Code (NCC)
  • workplace policies, procedures and processes relating to design of wall frames plans and production documents:
  • risks of non-conforming design:
  • responsibilities and limits of authority with regard to certifying and non-conforming design
  • construction terminology relating to wall frame design
  • factors affecting timber frame design:
  • climate zones
  • wind forces
  • timber grading
  • tie down requirements
  • key features of plans, drawings and specifications:
  • types and applications of plans and drawings
  • relating specified information to plans and drawing details
  • appropriate software, including custom software for timber systems design to:
  • research information
  • communicate with internal and external stakeholders
  • input and amend design factors and other data
  • produce drawings, plans and documents
  • store and retrieve documents
  • types, functions, capabilities and limitations of drawing software
  • application, characteristics and limitations of materials and components used for wall frames
  • certifying timber wall frame design layouts.
