Elements and Performance Criteria
- Develop an information system for construction methods and materials.
- Sources of information on traditional, new and emerging construction methods for BCA classes and types of buildings are researched and evaluated and processes are put in place to access information and maintain its currency.
- Sources of information on traditional, new and emerging construction materials for BCA classes and types of buildings are researched and evaluated and processes are put in place to access information and maintain its currency.
- Sources of information on traditional, new and emerging systems and componentsfor services for BCA classes and types of buildings are researched and evaluated and processes are put in place to access information and maintain its currency.
- Information management system is developed and maintained to ensure accuracy, currency and comprehensiveness of information.
