This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to determine design solutions for panelised and/or modular prefabricated timber building systems to meet structural and safety compliance, off-site manufacture and on-site installation. The main job functions are to facilitate collaborative design and achieve detailed and integrated design solutions for prefabricated timber building systems.

The unit applies to individuals who work as designers in a building design team. These include architects, design engineers, draftspersons, structural engineers, building services engineers, architectural technicians and timber systems designers from manufacturing plants. They demonstrate in-depth knowledge in a specific technical area and analyse, design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems.

In order to undertake this unit, individuals must have a relevant building design qualification or equivalent.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the 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.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Communicate with the developer during the design process to ensure that prefabricated timber building system is fully fit for purpose and meets client functional requirements
Use Building Information Modelling (BIM) system or similar and conduct further collaborative analysis with the fabricator, builder, component suppliers and regulators to achieve a design configuration that allows for lean processes during all stages of timber building system life cycle, meets regulations and does not complicate other design considerations
Ensure that the design accounts for fabrication capabilities
Implement a continuous improvement process during the design life of prefabricated timber building system to report, record and resolve issues
Identify the National Construction Code (NCC) Performance Requirements for structural robustness, which the prefabricated timber building system and its components need to satisfy
Discuss structural design actions with appropriate stakeholders to ensure that the prefabricated timber building system meets the minimum NCC structural requirements and performs without risks when used as intended through its design life
Obtain experimental and observational data for the strength of materials, structural components, connections or assemblies to determine design values, and consult with appropriate engineers to indicate the actual robustness and reliability of the physical building system
Contribute to the design verification for structural compliance and process documentation according to the NCC, standards and codes to facilitate design certification and approvals
Determine durability requirements for the materials of prefabricated timber building system according to the nominated design life and planned maintenance, and ensure that they are specified in design documentation for prefabricators
Determine early in the design process hazards to health and safety during all stages of prefabricated timber building system life cycle according to the workplace health and safety laws, regulations and the NCC
Determine and apply health and safety design control measures according to standards, codes and technical guides to eliminate or minimise health and safety risks during all stages of prefabricated timber building system life cycle
Verify design documentation and ensure that health and safety provisions are specified for all stages of prefabricated timber building system life cycle according to standards, codes and technical guides
Verify design documentation and ensure that detailed maintenance provisions are specified for all components of the prefabricated timber building system being designed according to its intended functions
Identify the NCC Performance Requirements for fire resistance and acoustic and thermal properties, which the prefabricated timber building system and its components need to satisfy
Verify design documentation and ensure that intended materials, separations, insulations, fire warnings and fire-fighting management systems are specified for the required fire, acoustic, thermal and waterproofing performance according to standards, codes and technical guides
Use design control actions to mitigate any possible effects of transportation, handling, on-site installation or maintenance on the integrity of intended connections, insulations or materials
Determine early in the design phase where points of entry are required in the prefabricated timber building system, components and materials for services installation
Verify design documentation and ensure that installation and connections provisions are specified for each service according to standards, codes and technical guides
Ensure that all tolerances for the prefabricated timber building system and its components are specified in the design specifications according to standards to facilitate off-site manufacture and on-site installation
Verify and ensure that approval and compliance certification for installation of services, partitions and floor elements are performed to the appropriate standards for thermal, acoustic and fire performance and according to local requirements before on-site installation
Determine maximum dimensions and weight for the building system being designed to meet restrictions provided by vehicles, lifting plants, road configuration around the construction site and local regulations
Ensure that lifting requirements are specified for all stages of the prefabricated timber building system life cycle in the design documentation, and they are according to the NCC to facilitate and maintain prefabricated timber building system integrity and adequate performance
Determine the effects of cargo restraints and exposure to acceleration forces on the strength (structural attributes) of prefabricated timber building system during transportation, and use design control actions to allow for the forces applied
Verify the design and ensure that necessary restraint conditions during transport and residual risks to the prefabricated timber building systems resulting from transportation are specified
Ensure that the sequence for the installation of prefabricated timber building systems and components is specified in design documentation
