Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to apply structural principles to the construction of National Construction Code (NCC) Class 10 buildings.The unit applies to individuals who apply specialist skills and knowledge to apply structural principles to the demolition or construction of Class 10 buildings. This includes applying and communicating non-routine technical solutions to predictable and unpredictable problems.All work is carried out to comply with workplace procedures, health and safety in the workplace requirements, legislative and regulatory requirements.State/territory licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse the structural integrity of building project
  • 1.1 Determine class of building, intended use and climate zone from the NCC
  • 1.2 Analyse project compliance with NCC bushfire, high wind, earthquake and alpine environment requirements
  • 1.3 Analyse building design and structural integrity from plans and specifications, building construction codes and Australian Standards
  • 1.4 Determine the effect of section properties on various materials
  • 1.5 Determine if structural performance meets NCC general requirements and performance requirements
  • 1.6 Confirm analysis with industry design and building construction professionals
  • 1.7 Conduct pre-commencement site inspection to confirm analysis
  • 1.8 Assess new and emerging building technologies for application to the construction process and compliance with NCC requirements and Australian Standards
2. Plan, coordinate and manage the laying of footings
  • 2.1 Identify earthworks and footing or slab configuration from project plans and specifications
  • 2.2 Establish cut and fill, excavation and compaction compliance with geotechnical report
  • 2.3 Assess performance or reinforcement, concrete and other elements that contribute to structural integrity of specified footings
  • 2.4 Determine compliance with building and construction regulations, standards and codes
  • 2.5 Set out footings according to project plans and specifications
3. Plan, coordinate and manage the building of wall systems
  • 3.1 Identify and analyse structural and non-structural wall systems used in the planning of the building and construction project
  • 3.2 Determine materials used for timber and steel framing and structural steel members compliance with NCC performance requirements, and timber framing compliance with Australian Standards
  • 3.3 Identify, implement and check processes for erecting structural and non-structural wall systems comply with manufacturer specifications and building and construction codes and Australian Standards
  • 3.4 Plan, implement and check requirements for application of bracing, tie-downs, tolerances, allowances, and fixing and installation of wall frame components compliance with Australian Standards, codes and manufacturer specifications
  • 3.5 Manage processes to ensure quality of the frame, whether factory pre-cut and pre-nailed, factory pre-cut and assembled on site, or cut and assembled on site
  • 3.6 Identify and implement allowances for services to be installed
  • 3.7 Check compliance of windows and doors installation with building and construction codes, Australian Standards and manufacturer specifications
4. Plan, coordinate and manage the building of structural roof systems
  • 4.1 Identify type of structural roof system and components and determine compliance with NCC performance requirements
  • 4.2 Plan, implement and check erection of structural roof, roof trusses or hand cut roof members compliance with building and construction codes, Australian Standards and accepted industry construction practices
  • 4.3 Plan, implement and check installation of roof sarking and cladding, skylights, roof ventilators and service penetrations compliance with building and construction codes, Australian Standards and manufacturer specifications
  • 4.4 Manage processes to ensure quality and finish of roof systems
5. Plan, coordinate and manage wall cladding
  • 5.1 Assess structural performance of cladding to be used for bracing in the frame construction for compliance with building and construction codes, Australian Standards and manufacturer specifications
  • 5.2 Determine cladding, vapour permeable sarking or waterproof membrane and components meet NCC performance requirements
  • 5.3 Supervise and check installation of specified cladding compliance with building and construction codes, Australian Standards and accepted industry practices
