Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to read, interpret and analyse building design drawings for Class 1 and 10 buildings, as defined in the National Construction Code (NCC). It covers interpreting construction industry conventions for drawings and analysing drawings for different projects to identify design and technical features.

The unit applies to drafters who work under the supervision and instruction of building designers or architects and use specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable drafting problems.

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