CPCCBC4014 - Prepare simple building sketches and drawings
Overview
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to prepare sketches and drawings used for communicating ideas to clients and other parties. It includes capturing design concepts and options taken from architectural drawings to create simpler versions.
The unit of competency applies to builders, experienced tradespersons, project managers and estimators who prepare sketches and drawings for estimating, explaining details and showing measurements required for building and construction work.
It does not describe more complex drafting skills.
This unit of competency is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.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 & 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:
*a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by drawing two components of the fabric of the building from a set of construction plans and prepare drawings for presentation.
In doing this, the candidate must:
*select one structural and one non-structural component and collate vital information required for the drawing
*prepare simple sketches of the structural and non-structural components
*produce clear and descriptive drawings with appropriate notations and labelling.
Knowledge Evidence
Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*types of building and construction plans:
- presentation drawings
- isometric drawings
- orthographic drawings
- perspective drawings
*drawing conventions: - sheet layout
- title block
- line types
- symbols
- dimensions and dimension lines
- abbreviations
*key features of a construction plan
*computer-aided design (CAD) drawings
*technical drawing by hand
*building and construction regulations, standards and codes
*the NCC
*building information modelling (BIM)
*building and construction methods and terminology
*workplace processes, workplace safety and environmental requirements.
Required reading
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
