Students are to identify Compliance in accordance with Building Codes & Australian Standards, for Residential Buildings Class 1 & 10 buildings, up to 3 storeys and less than 2000 m2. . TASK DESCRIPTION TASK A 1. Please explain briefly, the Hierarchy of “Building Control” Legislation in Victoria, which regulates building work. In your answer explain, • How the legislation adopts the National Construction Series, (NCC), to regulate materials, and building methods used in Construction. • Whether this approach is similar or different in other states and territories in Australia. 2. You are to explain the system of “Building Control”, and the role of the Building Surveyor, when assessing building materials used in construction. In your answer, please explain:-  The objectives of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), and the role of the National Construction Code, (NCC) with building compliance.  Explain the Performance Requirements in the NCC, outlining: o Deemed-to-Satisfy, and o Performance Solution, (formerly known as an “Alternative Solutions”) You are to explain the Building Surveyors role in applying a Performance Based Code. In your answer provide examples for each of the Performance Requirements. 3. You are to explain the Assessment Methods under the NCC used to determine compliance of D-T-S, and Performance Solutions. In your answer, please explain the evidence of suitability and the role Building Surveyor under “Building Control”, when making a determination for the acceptance of a building material or construction method.ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF BUILDING SURVEYING Unit Assessment task CPCCBS6001 Research & evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to 3 storeys © Holmesglen 2017 CPCCBS6001 Research and evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to three storeys Page 3 of 5 TASK DESCRIPTION continued 4. You are to describe what is a building classification with respect to building compliance in accordance with the NCC, which is to be illustrated by examples. In your answer explain  the importance of the building classification, for the “assessment methodology”, used by a Building Surveyor, when applying compliance for the assessment of a proposed building Permit.  how this may affect the acceptability of materials, to meet compliance TASK B You are to discuss the following Geographic conditions that have compliance variations under the National Construction Code for building in Australia.  Climate Zones, and how it affects the Energy Efficiency depending on materials  Wind Regions, discussing wind ratings, and effects on buildings  Earthquake  Termite Risk Management In your answer please describe  The conditions that vary throughout Australia, which provide for state and territory variations.  Describe the compliance, regarding the NCC, and applicable Australian Standards  Describe further evidence that a Building Surveyor may require to support the use of materials that are used in compliance variations as listed above. Please provide an exampleADVANCED DIPLOMA OF BUILDING SURVEYING Unit Assessment task CPCCBS6001 Research & evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to 3 storeys © Holmesglen 2017 CPCCBS6001 Research and evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to three storeys Page 4 of 5 TASK DESCRIPTION continued TASK C You are to PREPARE a Construction Site Inspection Checklist which can be used to assess a building site, so as to all record the relevant site features. The Purpose of the inspection is to ensure that information is recorded on the site plan, as part of the working drawings You are required to Reference your checklist.  Legislation  For Victoria, Refer to Part 4 of the Building Regulations for Single Dwellings, and Planning Schemes for Multi-residential  The NCC, and Australian Standards  Industry Literature  Internet Research Group activities so that your checklist has logical order, eg (and with the checklists) A sample template has been provided, which you can either hand write or complete electronically, which is in a EXCEL format. Checklists are to be printed in a A4 format You are required to select a building site, and assess the Site. You will be required to include site photographs of the proposed land/building, to assess whether all site features were recorded on your inspection. A sketch plan of the site must be included as part of your site assessment Your Site Investigation checklist will have the following suggested sub-headings :-  Site fall and topography  Fencing  Services including Water, Sewerage, Drainage, Electricity, Gas, and Communications  Existing structures  Access  Vegetation & Environment  Visible soil conditions  OH & S issues which has an impact on building methods and project costs  Notes Further information from your research with respect to regulationsADVANCED DIPLOMA OF BUILDING SURVEYING Unit Assessment task CPCCBS6001 Research & evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to 3 storeys © Holmesglen 2017 CPCCBS6001 Research and evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to three storeys Page 5 of 5 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The submission is to be presented as a REPORT, with a format which includes:  Table of Contents  The report is to be structured, in line with the Assessment Questions  The aim is for content to be referenced through the body of your report in accordance with Holmesglen Harvard Reference Guide  Supplementary Appendices to attached to your report  Presentation Format: Headings 18 font, Sub-headings 14 font, The body of text shall be Arial 12 front.
