Unit of Competency CPCCBS6001 - Research and evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to three storeys
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to develop an understanding of traditional, new and emerging construction methods and materials, including systems and components for services, for class 1 and 10 buildings as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and up to three storeys and not more than 2000 square metres in floor area. It involves researching and analysing construction industry information, including research papers, engineering reports, material specifications and performance data; and following information management procedures to ensure that construction methods and materials are evaluated using current and accurate information. This unit supports the work of building surveyors who provide advisory code-consulting services or authorised statutory services relating to planning or building permit application assessment or building audit and inspection services for class 1 and 10 residential buildings. 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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
