Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to manage the design of Type A constructions defined by the Building Code of Australia (BCA). It covers negotiation and liaison with clients, team members and other professional involved in the development of the project. The unit addresses the preparation of design solutions and drawings, and the presentation of documentation for approval by planning authorities.Type A buildings and their design may frequently be complex and include constructions of three storeys for BCA Classes 2, 3 and 9 and four storeys or more for BCA Classes 5, 6, 7 and 8. Increased and specified fire resistance requirements and suitable building construction methods must be understood and applied. The unit also requires the application of creative design skills, knowledge of human lifestyles and cycles, and knowledge of safe and sustainable construction materials and methods.The unit supports projects that may be residential projects, including alterations and additions, heritage restorations or new buildings; or they may be commercial and industrial projects, including car parks, factories, laboratories, motels, offices, restaurants, retail and service outlets, and warehouses. It applies to building designers who produce design drawings that meet client and compliance requirements for Type A constructions defined in the BCA section of the National Construction Code (NCC) and who consult and collaborate with technical experts, such as structural engineers, fire system designers, mechanical services engineers, and experts in the industry for which the building will be used.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency 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.

Timeframe: according to tender brief. Assessor requirements As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment. |
