Modification History

Release 1.

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Version 1.

Performance Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. The person must develop and maintain current research findings to support building surveying services for three different buildings or structures not more than 2000 square metres in floor area in classes 1 and 10 as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA), where:

two of the buildings must be in class 1 and three storeys

one building must be in class I and less than three storeys, or in class 10

each building must be in a different climatic, geographic or planning zone.

In doing the above, the person must also produce a research report containing research findings, recommendations and supporting evidence for each of the above building projects, based on an evaluation of:

characteristics and applications of a range of materials suitable for the structural elements and building envelope

different construction methods and systems applicable to the structural elements and building envelope

components and systems for services that consider:

relevant compliance requirements

installation methods.

The person must also be able to demonstrate a process for:

seeking feedback on and distributing findings from each of the three research reports

maintaining the currency of research findings in each report.

Knowledge Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

characteristics and applications of materials suitable for structural elements and building envelope

compliance requirements relating to construction materials and methods for class 1 and 10 buildings and structures, including:

Australian standards

National Construction Code (NCC) requirements

construction methods and systems applicable to:

site preparation

structural elements

building envelope

components and systems for services, including:

compliance requirements

installation methods

sources of reliable information on traditional, new and emerging uses of construction materials and methods

structural engineering principles sufficient to interpret and apply the requirements of the BCA.

Assessment Conditions

Suitable assessment of performance requires:

equipment:

computer with internet access and business software currently in use in building surveying practices

materials:

documentation for the three projects specified in the performance evidence

specifications:

access to relevant and current building control legislation, regulations, codes and standards and state, territory or local authority planning policies.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.

In addition, assessors must also demonstrate current membership of a relevant industry association and have current registration on the National Building Professionals Register in the Building Industry Control category (level 1) or be accredited under the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS) National Accreditation Scheme at Building Surveyor level.
