Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to process building applications for residential buildings in classes 1 and 10 as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and up to three storeys and not more than 2000 square metres in floor area.The unit covers gathering and assessing documentation that supports the building application process which, if successful, results in the issuing of a building permit.It supports the work of private and municipal building surveyors carrying out the statutory role of ensuring that proposed residential building projects meet relevant compliance requirements prior to commencement of construction.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.

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.

Consultants must include at least one of the following:

access consultants

energy efficiency assessors
