Assessment Requirements for CPCCBC4053 Apply building codes and standards to the construction process for Class 2 to 9 Type C buildings

Modification History

Release 1	This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0. Supersedes but is not equivalent to CPCCBC4001A Apply building codes and standards to the construction process for low rise building projects. Unit has been separated into two units for residential low rise and commercial low rise. Attainment of both CPCCBC4053 and CPCCBC4001 is equivalent to CPCCBC4001A. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by applying codes and standards to the construction process of two Type C building projects:

one Class 2, 3 or 9

one Class 5 to 8.

In doing this, the candidate must:

determine the type of construction and the use of the building from construction plans and specifications and class of building using National Construction Code (NCC) classifications

identify current building and construction codes and Australian Standards relevant to the building project

apply NCC Performance Requirements in relation to the design and construction of the building:

structure

fire protection

access and egress

services and equipment

health and amenities

ancillary provisions

energy efficiency

apply Performance Solutions to ensure that construction complies with Performance Requirements

identify faults and problems and propose actions to rectify

inspect a building to determine fire protection compliance with NCC and other legislative requirements.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

government building legislation, codes and standards

the NCC:

Performance Requirements and General Requirements

Performance Solutions and Assessment Methods

Deem-to-Satisfy Solution (DTS)

Performance Hierarchy

evidence of suitability for building materials and products

classes of building and types of construction

Assessment Methods stated in the NCC:

comparison with DTS provisions

evidence of suitability

Expert Judgement

Verification Method

below ground construction:

methods

structural sufficiency

water ingress

water proofing

work health and safety (WHS)

organisational policies and procedures, quality systems and best practice approaches

workplace safety requirements

properties, characteristics and limitations of specified building materials and components

processes, procedures and techniques for construction of wide span and complex designed buildings

basic commercial building design principles and the behaviour of structures under stress, strain, compression, bending or combined actions

causes and implications of building defects related to failure of applying building codes and standards to residential and commercial buildings

extent of remedial work required for various defects caused by inadequate design and application of building codes and practices

environmental requirements and sustainability principles and concepts

project plans, specifications and structural details

construction terminology.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Assessment can be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

A simulated environment is one that realistically replicates workplace conditions, materials and equipment, interactions with others and workplace irregularities, and which meets industry standards for safety and environmental practices.

Candidates must have access to:

relevant government building and construction regulations

current building and construction codes and standards

NCC Volume 1

construction drawings, site plans and specifications

organisational policies and procedures and other quality documentation to undertake the performance criteria and assessment requirements

digital technology devices, applications and software to source and document information.
