A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit.
The person must also produce client-approved working drawings for three different buildings or structures not more than 2000 square metres in floor area in Classes 1 and 10 as defined in the Building Code of Australia (BCA) section of the National Construction Code (NCC), where:
two of the buildings must be in Class 1 and three storeys
each building must be in a different climatic, geographic or planning zone.
In doing the above, the person must:
confirm working drawing requirements for building approval application and contractors’ use
consult with technical experts to clarify details for working drawings, as required
use design tools to prepare and organise complete and compliant sets of working drawings according to project timeframes and local authority requirements.
finalise building approval for a range of small-scale building design projects, including processing final drawings and documentation, and notify clients.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
structural engineering principles sufficient to interpret and apply the requirements of the NCC
building approval processes
building designers’ duty of care to ensure quality and safety of designs
types of construction materials and methods specified in design documentation for projects
implications of changes to designs, including compliance issues, cost and client satisfaction with outcomes
legislation, codes and standards, including drawing standards that apply to the small-scale building design projects specified in the performance evidence
organisational scope of business, service levels and fees relating to drawing process
principles of design, including sustainable design.
The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:
equipment:
computer with internet access and business software currently in use in building design practices
materials:
documentation for the three projects specified in the performance evidence
contingencies:
changes required to working drawings through building approval process
specifications:
access to current building control legislation, regulations, codes and standards; and state, territory or local authority planning policies
relationship with client:
liaison with client is required.
Timeframe:
