SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Refer to the ASSESSMENT TASK, (see the attached pages). SUBMISSION DATE : AS PER UNIT OUTLINE Refer to your Trainer’s Handout – (UNIT OUTLINE) Instructions to Learner: Your Report will be prepared to an Industry Standard Report, which will require research for you to complete this task, in addition to class attendance, (where it’s expected that you take extensive class notes). NOTE - See the Assessment Task, which outlines your instructions, (see the attached pages) Section D – Assessment Criteria You are to complete the Assessment as per the attached TASK DESCRIPTION – (See the attached pages)ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF BUILDING SURVEYING Unit Assessment task CPCCBS6001 Research & evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to 3 storeys © Holmesglen 2017 CPCCBS6010 - Research and evaluate construction methods and materials for residential buildings to three storeys Page 2 of 6 PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENT To undertake a Research project to demonstrate an understanding of compliance for materials used in Residential Class 1 & 10 Buildings, (less than 3 storeys, and less than 2000 m2 ). As part of this assessment, it is required you identify materials used, (recorded by photographs), which are to be reported on, as per the task description. Materials are to be identified as part of building methods, which will also include the installation of services which are part of the building process. The Proposed Project is assumed to be located on Batesford Rd, Chadstone, (opposite the Holmesglen Chadstone Campus) TASK DESCRIPTION TASK REQUIREMENTS Building Material – Photographic Research Project You are required to Research Building Compliance and prepare a comprehensive series of annotated (labelled) photographs and diagrams of a domestic residential low rise buildings up to 3 storeys, (Class 1a & 10a buildings). This project should cover various stages of construction and describe regulatory requirements assess the use of the construction materials, in accordance with the NCC Volume 2 and Australian Standard, etc. Ensure that your assignment calls attention to the stages where a mandatory inspection would be required (see r.901 of Building Regulations 2006 (Vic)) You will need to take photographs of more than one building under construction to complete the assessment in a timely manner. It is recommended that you visit housing estates where you will see dwellings at differing stages of construction. This will allow you to reduce the number of site visits you need to make, otherwise, you will need to visit sites regularly to observe the building process and to take photographs and sketch construction details, or include manufacturer’s technical data. Where possible, try and obtain a copy of the plans and other related documentation from the owner, builder or designer, (if available, and reasonable access to these documents is granted). Photographs of the relevant documents will greatly assist your research. This assessment will be submitted and reviewed at week 12 (Nominated by your teacher) before the final submission (see assessment timetable for submission requirements). This process is in place to give you the opportunity to receive feedback on your progress to allow you to modify your methods if required.
