Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to advise on the application of National Construction Code (NCC) performance requirements for performance-based solutions for buildings up to three storeys, and to apply approved assessment methods to determine whether a proposed solution is compliant.The unit applies to assessing architectural drawings and specifications for performance-based solutions and analysing them in relation to the relevant sections of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA). The unit supports the work of building surveyors who:provide advice to architects and building designers on compliance requirements and options for performance-based solutions, oract in the statutory role with responsibility for assessing the compliance of performance-based solutions and certifying those that are compliant.Under legislation the building surveyor is responsible for ensuring that there is no conflict of interest between the two roles. The building surveyor cannot advise on, and then certify, the same performance-based solution.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.

This section specifies essential operating conditions and any other factors essential to the work environment. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Assessment methods must include:

calculations

inspections

tests

other method recommended by appropriate technical experts in relation to the material, construction method or design.

Analysis of compliance must include:

comparison with deemed-to-satisfy specifications

evaluation against NCC assessment methods.

Structural safety, health, amenity and sustainability must include two of the following:

access and egress, including access for people with a disability

damp and weatherproofing

energy efficiency

light and ventilation

room heights

sanitary and other facilities

services and equipment

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.
