Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to plan on-site activities, employ human resources and obtain physical resources. It includes sequencing construction tasks, identifying appropriate skilled labour, physical resources and suppliers and assessing their availability, and developing documentation and advice for relevant authorities.

The unit of competency applies to those who decide on and arrange building and construction work for residential and commercial projects.

This unit of competency is suitable for builders, site managers, forepersons and other construction industry professionals using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
