Manage building approval processes for all building types
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required by senior building surveyors to manage the assessment of building approval applications for all Building Code of Australia (BCA) defined classes and types of buildings, including all Type A buildings in classes 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
The unit supports researching and applying compliance requirements specified in building and planning legislation, regulations, codes and standards applicable to the proposed building project, including analysing advice provided by specialist consultants. It involves overseeing the work undertaken by other building surveyors who may contribute to gathering and assessing building approval documentation but who do not have the authority to issue building permits.
The unit supports the work of senior private and municipal building surveyors carrying out the statutory role of ensuring that proposed building projects meet relevant compliance requirements prior to issuing permits.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.
