Elements and Performance Criteria
- Identify and analyse construction faults on building sites up to three storeys.
- Information is collected relating to the specific building construction problem.
- Construction problem for the type of construction is identified relative to original specifications and building material.
- Construction faults are communicated to appropriate personnel and documented in accordance with standard work practices.
- Problem solving techniques are used, typical faults and problems are identified and action to rectify is deemed to be in accordance with the BCA.
