Unit of Competency CPCCBS8002 - Manage information on construction methods, materials and services for a building surveying team
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required by senior building surveyors to develop an understanding of traditional, new and emerging construction methods and materials, including systems and components for services, for all Building Code of Australia (BCA) defined classes and types of buildings, including all Type A buildings in classes 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. It involves researching and analysing construction industry information, including research papers, engineering reports, and material specifications and performance data.The unit also covers developing a knowledge bank and information system for use by the building surveying team, including processes and checklists for ensuring that construction methods and materials used on building projects are evaluated using current and accurate information. The unit supports the work of private or municipal 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.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.
