Overview

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use digital applications and the production of outputs in architectural workflows for (National Construction Code (NCC) Classes 1 and 10) residential buildings.
It includes the ability to determine the workflows and appropriate digital applications required for specific project outputs and the application of architectural standards and conventions to produce and manage the project.This unit applies to building designers who utilise digital applications to produce digital drawings and data for residential architectural projects within the legal responsibilities of building designers.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes & 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:
• use a range of digital applications to produce outputs in architectural workflows for at least two residential building projects.
In completing the above, there must also be evidence that the learner has:
• produced the required digitally generated presentation and working drawings for the project
• complied with relevant legislation, standards, and workplace digital security and copyright and privacy workplace procedures
• collaborated and consulted effectively with team members and outside agencies
• met the criteria of the project brief and allocated timelines.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
• national regulatory framework, including the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian standards and Victorian regulatory framework relevant to applying digital applications for residential architectural projects
• functions, operation, and management of software programs required for the production of various stages of project documentation
• features of file structures for Building Information Modelling (BIM) management
• standards and conventions used in the production and management of architectural documentation, including:

  • recognition of file structures
  • development and use of file structures
    • Australian and International Standards for BIM data sharing
    • purpose and benefits of project outputs to related contexts
    • construction and materials technology in the production of architectural documentation
    • workplace quality requirements for the production of digital outputs
    • workplace and legislative requirements for documentation in all stages of the residential building design project.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the VU Polytechnic and/or via the Victoria University Polytechnic e-Learning system.
