Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to research and evaluate existing and emerging construction materials and methods for residential, commercial and industrial buildings, as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA), including for new buildings, additions and renovations to existing structures, and heritage restorations.Research and evaluation are undertaken to develop an understanding of the range of contemporary construction materials and methods available; and their application, performance and interaction.The unit supports drafters who work under the supervision and instruction of architects and building designers, ensuring that accurate and current information and data on construction materials and methods are identified and applied across building design projects.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to building design drafting 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.

Element: Research materials and methods for structural elements of specified building.
  • Features and applications of materials used for structural elements are researched and evaluated.
  • Compliance requirements for materials used for structural elements are researched and interpreted.
  • Construction methods and systems for structural elements are researched and evaluated.
       
Element: Research materials and methods for building envelope of specified building.
  • Characteristics and applications of materials used for building envelope are researched and evaluated.
  • Construction methods for building envelope and their compliance requirements are researched and interpreted.
       
Element: Research systems and components for services of specified building.
  • Features of systems and components for services are evaluated for costs and benefits according to client requirements for the building project.
  • Compliance requirements for services are researched and interpreted.
  • Installation methods for services are researched in relation to different types of systems and components.
       
Element: Document and maintain research findings.
  • Draft research findings with collated data, recommendations and supporting evidence are produced.
  • Input into draft research findings is sought according to agreed procedures.
  • Research findings are finalised and distributed to appropriate stakeholders.
  • Research findings are updated as required.
