Unit of Competency CPPBDN5017A - Produce 2-D drawings for building design projects using CAD software
Description This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to produce two-dimensional (2-D) drawings for residential, commercial and industrial building design projects using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Work in this area must be completed according to relevant legislative, industry and organisational requirements, including work health and safety (WHS) policies and procedures.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency supports the needs of industry personnel responsible for preparing 2-D building design drawings from instructions, sketches, drawings and plans for residential, commercial and industrial building design projects. The drawings produced and notations included should conform to Australian standards and drawing protocols.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment providing that simulated or project-based assessment techniques replicate workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

It may be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving preparation of CAD drawings, including construction detailing and material identification, for a range of typical National Construction Code (NCC) structures.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit should provide evidence of the ability to:

use two different types of 2-D CAD software according to manufacturer specifications and organisational standards to produce at least five different types of 2-D building design drawings selected from the following:

bracing plans

electrical power and lighting plans

floor framing plans

floor plans

house drainage plans (sewerage)

lot plans

roof drainage plans

roof framing plans

site plans

slab or footing layout plans

stormwater layout plans.

A person should also provide evidence of:

identifying and applying drawing protocols

identifying and applying styles, characteristics, technologies and decorative styles

sound understanding of the structural function of building elements

importing and exporting information.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit:

must be in the context of the work environment

may be conducted in an off-site context, provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

must meet relevant compliance requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include access to:

suitable assessment venue and equipment, including computers with 2-D CAD software, printers, and building codes and standards

suitable simulated or real opportunities and resources to demonstrate competence.

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using one or more of the following methods:

written and/or oral assessment of the candidates required knowledge for the unit

observed, documented and/or firsthand testimonial evidence of the candidates

implementation of appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient achievement of the required outcomes

identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes

identification of viable options and the selection of options that best meet the required outcomes

consistently achieving the required outcomes.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication skills to:

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, share information, listen and understand

seek clarification

creative design, drawing and drafting skills, including:

identifying and applying characteristics, decorative styles and text styles

using:

drafting technologies

drafting equipment

numeracy skills to apply measurements and make calculations relating to scales and ratios in drawings

planning and organising skills to ensure coordinated development of drawings

reading skills to read and interpret:

plans, drawings, specifications and design briefs

documentation from a variety of sources

technology skills to use information technology and 2-D CAD software

writing skills to add notations to drawings

Required knowledge

architectural styles and terminology

building materials used in building design projects, and their representation in drawings

drafting and drawing protocols

construction technology relating to building design projects

functions and operation of 2-D CAD software programs

general WHS principles and responsibilities relating to the production of 2-D CAD drawings

hard copy and digital file management procedures

relevant industry standards and codes of practice relating to the production of 2-D CAD drawings

structural systems used in building design projects

types and uses of architectural drawings

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Drawing requirements include:

details:

area analysis

construction notes

general notes

location of neighbouring buildings

services plans

structural information

types of drawings, such as:

isometric drawings

plans:

bracing plans

electrical power and lighting plans

floor framing plans

floor plans

house drainage plans (sewerage)

lot plans

roof drainage plans

roof framing plans

site plans

slab or footing layout plans

standard units of measurement.

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.
