Nominal hours
Location
Prerequisites
(Or equivalent to be determined by unit coordinator)
Co-requisites
(Corequisite units must be studied concurrently with this unit)
Overview
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to prepare, set out and construct eaves, including the cutting and fixing of fascia and barges to provide a finish between the wall and the roof, meeting all relevant requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.
The unit includes:
*construction of boxed and raked eaves
*finishing of gable ends including verge and flush.Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
*three metres of timber verge gable eaves
*three metres of timber boxed gable eaves
*three metres of timber boxed eaves
*three metres of timber raked eaves
*three metres of steel fascia with hangers.
In constructing these timber eaves, the following must be included:
*an apex junction on the barge board
*a junction between the barge board and the plumb fascia
*a junction of the fascia and eave lining at the valley
*a junction of the fascia and eave lining at the hip.
Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*compliance requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards relevant to constructing eaves, including AS 1684 Residential timber-framed construction and the National Association of *Steel-framed Housing (NASH) Standards
*workplace quality policies and standards relevant to constructing eaves
*safety requirements for constructing eaves
*construction techniques for eave fascia and soffit
*eaves design:
- sloping soffits and boxed eaves
- verandas, concealed gutters and open eaves
*materials for constructing eaves: - beads
- sheeting
- joining mould
- steel
- quads
- timber and steel fascia
- roof battens
- timber lining boards
*levelling techniques for constructing eaves
*plans, specifications and drawings for constructing eaves
*types and uses of tools and equipment for constructing eaves
*processes for the calculation of material requirements for constructing eaves
*timber shrinkage and required clearances for various constructions
*geometry for constructing eaves.
