Research and apply compliance requirements to technical construction documentation

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to research and apply compliance requirements to building design documentation for residential, commercial and industrial buildings, as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA).

The unit applies to additions and renovations to a range of different types of new buildings and existing structures. It supports drafters who assist, and work under the supervision and instruction of an architect or building designer; and who take responsibility, at the level appropriate to their role, for ensuring that building design documentation complies with current and relevant legislation, codes and standards, including the National Construction Code (NCC) and local authority planning schemes.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to building design drafting in some states. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

1.

Research building design project compliance requirements.

1.1.

Legislation, codes and standards relating to the compliance of specific building design project are accessed, and variations in requirements are interpreted and noted.

1.2.

Compliance requirements for designs in different project locations and different conditions are researched, and variations in requirements are interpreted and noted.

1.3.

Research findings are recorded, filed and regularly updated according to workplace procedures.

2.

Analyse and interpret implications of compliance requirements.

2.1.

Ambiguous and conflicting compliance requirements are clarified with relevant professionals.

2.2.

Constraints placed on design options due to compliance requirements are identified and discussed with the designer.

2.3.

Potential exemptions from compliance with relevant codes are investigated and discussed with designer, and appropriate course of action is noted.

2.4.

Processes for obtaining an exemption are identified and actioned as required.

3.

Review and action compliance requirements.

3.1.

Technical construction documentation is reviewed for compliance with relevant legislation, codes and standards according to designer’s instructions.

3.2.

Non-compliance issues are noted and discussed with designer and required amendments are identified.

3.3.

Amendments or modifications to plans and technical documentation are made to ensure compliance with relevant legislation, codes and standards.

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Legislation must include:

legislation and regulations relating to:

building

construction materials and methods

disability access

energy efficiency

environment

local authority planning schemes

work health and safety (WHS).

Codes and standards must include:

Australian standards, including standards for drawing:

AS1100.101 Technical drawing - General principles

AS1100.301 Technical drawing - Architectural drawing

AS1101.1 Graphic symbols for general engineering - Hydraulic and pneumatic systems

NCC.

Compliance requirements must include:

current Australian standards applicable to the building design

federal, state or territory, and local authority legislation and regulations and planning schemes applicable to the building design

NCC.

Constraints must include:

reference to:

local authority planning scheme relevant to the applicable building design

project brief

sections of the BCA relevant to the applicable building design.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
