Qualification -
Unit of Competency CPPACC5004A - Apply building codes and standards to accessible large-scale buildings
Description This unit of competency specifies the competency required to ensure the building process complies with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) Premises Standard, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and relevant Australian standards, and results in accessible developments. The unit applies to residential and commercial buildings.It includes the evaluation and interpretation of building requirements, the classification of buildings according to BCA criteria and the development of strategies for disability access compliance.This unit is based on BCGSV5011A Apply building codes and standards to residential buildings.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency supports a number of access consulting services where there is a breadth, depth and complexity of tasks and often the requirement to make decisions and provide recommendations involving non-routine situations. These access consulting services include conducting building access audits, assessing building plans, providing advice on building renovations and serving on a BCA Access Panel.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse the purpose and basic intent of the BCA.
  • Objectives of the BCA and the purpose of the respective components of the code are researched and evaluated.
  • The deemed-to-satisfy (DTS) concept for construction to meet BCA requirements is researched and evaluated.
  • The hierarchy of commonwealth, state and territory building access legislation is identified and documented.
       
Element: Locate and interpret the requirements of the codes and standards that are applicable to access compliance of specific projects.
  • Relevant clauses from building access legislation that apply to specific projects are identified and documented.
  • Prescriptive requirements of the relevant legislative clauses are determined and documented.
  • Special requirements that may be applicable to specific areas are identified and documented.
       
Element: Classify buildings.
  • The class of building is determined according to BCA criteria and with regard to intended use.
  • BCA requirements for disability access are determined and documented.
  • Disability access requirements are interpreted for multiple classifications and documented.
       
Element: Apply appropriate assessment methods to access compliance with the BCA.
  • Appropriate assessment methods are selected to determine building access compliance with the intent of the BCA.
  • Alternative solutions to building accessibility problems that comply with BCA requirements are identified and documented.
  • Assessment methods used to determine whether a building solution to an accessibility problem complies with performance requirements or DTS provisions of the BCA are analysed and applied.
  • Assessment methods are identified and confirmed as appropriate to meet the DTS provisions of the BCA.
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving other competencies relevant to the job function.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:

recognising the needs and desires of people with disabilities to engage fully in all aspects of society, and their right to do so

interpreting accurately the impacts of the full range of disabilities and the limitations that each disability places on the individual's ability to access the environment

interpreting accurately how the full range of environmental barriers impacts on any of the impairments that people with disabilities might have

identifying accurately the hierarchy of commonwealth, state and territory building access legislation

interpreting and applying accurately building codes and standards for the provision of access

identifying alternative approaches to building accessibility problems that comply with BCA requirements

applying organisational management policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Resource implications for assessment include:

a registered provider of assessment services

competency standards

assessment materials and tools

suitable assessment venue/equipment

workplace documentation

candidate special requirements

cost and time considerations.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.

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.
