Course Description

In this course you will develop the skills and knowledge required to prepare sketches and drawings used for communicating ideas to clients and other parties. This includes capturing design concepts and options taken from architectural drawings to create simpler versions.

The course 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.

Performance Evidence
To demonstrate competency, 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:	Assessment Task1: Practical	Assessment Task 2: Knowledge
select one structural and one non-structural component and collate vital information required for the drawing	A, B3, D, E
prepare simple sketches of the structural and non-structural components	A, B3, D, E
produce clear and descriptive drawings with appropriate notations and labelling.	A, B3, D, E

Assessment conditions	Describe how assessments meet the assessment conditions
Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.   Assessment can be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.   A simulated environment is one that realistically replicates workplace conditions, materials and equipment, interactions with others and workplace irregularities, and which meets industry standards for safety and environmental practices.   Candidates must have access to:

 

Assessment conditions	Describe how assessments meet the assessment conditions
construction plans and specifications	These will be provided by RMIT
current building and construction codes and standards	These will be provided by RMIT
the NCC	Students will be directed to download from authorised site.(https://www.abcb.gov.au/)
hand drawing equipment	Students will be required to have their own: Scale ruler Pencil Pen Set-square RMIT will provide paper and drawing boards where required for assessments.
workplace procedures and other quality documentation required to undertake the performance criteria and assessment requirements	RMIT will provide these by way of assessment instructions and resources The classroom will simulate a workplace (drafting office/builder's office). Given the desks are not set up for professional drafting, students will have to overcome this irregularity.
computers, applications and software to access drawings and other relevant information.	RMIT will provide access via RMIT desktop Computers are also available for students on RMIT campus.
