Introduction
This assessment has been designed to allow you to provide partial evidence of
your competence in the unit CPCCBC5009A Identify services layout and
connection methods to medium rise construction projects.
In completing your final assessments, you will show evidence of your ability to:
· Evaluate commonly used methods of water storage supply and layouts.
· Evaluate methods of sewerage and drainage disposal and their layouts.
· Assess commonly used methods for mechanical ventilation and air
distribution and their layout
· Evaluate the range of hot water systems
· Evaluate effective natural lighting for a range of situations.
· Ensure fire protection standards are met.
· Outline the requirements for general electrical and electronic service
installation.
You are required to complete two projects for the overall assessment of this unit.
Below is Project 1.
Project 1
Instructions
For this assessment, you will need to complete a Site Services Assessment
Report and access and show your understanding of the National Construction
Code (NCC), as well as any relative Australian Standards.
Evaluate the methods, requirements and layout of:
· water storage supply
· mechanical ventilation and air distribution
· general electrical and electronic service installation
As well as evaluate the effectiveness of the:
· hot water systems
· natural lighting for the building
· fire protection standards used in the building.
For this project you are required to visit a medium rise existing building of your
choice and complete an On-site Services Assessment Report. Your site
assessment report will include all the items laid out in the template in the
following pages and identify any faults. For this you take on the role of a Sullivon
constructions representative, who will be evaluating the project as a future
renovation job (see scenario).

· You will be required to evaluate the basic condition of the building site
services and make two recommendations for improvements or alternative
solutions.
· You may submit photographs where applicable as evidence for your site
assessment. These should be included in the Appendix for this
assessment.
Note: Please be aware there may be buildings you are not permitted to
photograph such as government buildings, hospitals and correctional facilities.
Scenario
For this assessment you take on the role of Billy, a Services Manager for Sullivon
Constructions. Sullivon is looking to take on new projects with minimal structural
alterations, yet more significant services upgrades to the building. The services
team is currently falling short of work, and a few refurbishment jobs would keep
their staff busy for the rest of the year.
Your task will be to find an existing medium rise building, which could be in need
of renovation, and compile a site services assessment report including
photographs. This will be used to evaluate the condition of the existing services
as described above in the instructions, and report back to Sullivon’s upper
management, with the view of it being a potential new project to take on.
Best of luck, and remember your company is relying on the accuracy of this
report, for the company’s future stability.
Some project suggestions below:
- An apartment / shops, updated and converted to partial open office space
- A small factory unit, converted to factory with mezzanine office space
- An existing small office or shopping complex, simply updated and renovated
- Shops, converted to office space * Warehouse space converted to apartments
Site services assessment report
1: Overview
Give a brief description of the site being assessed, including a location photo,
and why the site may be suitable for renovation or upgrade work.
Open Colleges CPCCBC5009A Identify services layout to medium rise construction
Page 5 of 14

The building is an apartment located in Adelaide in which it was designed and constructed as
a traditional apartment which provides only a sofa bed, a kitchen. Due to that there is need to
update it to a modern apartment to house more facilities which are required by the modern
man.
2: Condition rating scale
Familiarize yourself with the following condition rating scale to assess the
services within the building. The rating scale is a gauge of the condition in simple
number format, with 5 being the highest.
You will need to incorporate these ratings in a table of conditions listed later in
this assessment. You may also use it elsewhere in your descriptions if you wish.
Rating Status Definition of rating/condition of
building asset
5 Excellent no defects as new condition and appearance
4 Good minor defects
superficial wear and tear
some deterioration to finishes major
maintenance not required
3 Fair average condition
significant defects are evident worn finishes
require maintenance services are functional
but need attention
deferred maintenance work exists
2 Poor badly deteriorated
potential structural problems
inferior appearance
major defects components fail frequently

3: Building classification
Define the class of the building you are assessing with its classification as per
NCC.
The house according to the NCC is a class 2 building since it is an apartment.
4: Site services assessment table
Complete the following site services assessment table including:
· a brief description of each service item
· a photo reference (photos to be added in the appendix)
· a rating scale according to the condition rating scale above
· any relevant NCC or Australian Standards.
An example is provided.

5: Freehand overlay sketch: methods of mechanical ventilation and air
distribution
a) Obtain a copy of the site plan for the building you are assessing and use this
to create a freehand overlay sketch of the mechanical ventilation and air
distribution used in the building. This should include items such as air
conditioning, air distribution and air filtration systems.
Open Colleges CPCCBC5009A Identify services layout to medium rise construction
Page 9 of 14

Submit a copy of your overlay sketch as Appendix 2.
In your drawing you should use drawing conventions for mechanical ventilation and
air distribution.*
In your sketch identify the following:
· the scale used in the drawing, e.g. 1:50 or 1:100
· the type and quantity of air conditioning units used
· the location of air distribution and filtration systems
* To refresh your memory of drawing conventions for mechanical ventilation and air
distribution refer to the High School Level 2 Mechanical Services Layout and the
High School General Legend.
b) Briefly describe how the ventilation and air distribution layout in your sketch is
appropriate for the building design. (Maximum 100 words)
The ventilation and air distribution will be working on the principle that the air will be
delivered at very high speed outside the occupied zones. The high air velocity rate in the
air jet will generate excess pressure, resulting in an inflow and entrainment of room air
towards the air jet supplied. During the first air flow cycle the air velocity will be high,
but as the quantity of room air that becomes mixed increases, the air velocity will
decrease.
6: Recommendations
Identify two possible faults or problems with the site services you have rated
above. Suggest a recommendation for each fault/problem that you could make
to Sullivon to management. Your recommendation should include the action that
could be taken to rectify the fault/problem.
Site fault/problem Recommendation for Sullivon management
1.
The fire services in the building are not
working properly. Such as:
 Unreliable Water Supply
 Substandard Protection for Steam
Turbine-Generator
1.
To have reliable water supply which can be supplied
adequately in case of fire outbreak while in pressure.
To install modern firefighting technologies such as
installing the smoke detectors which can be able to
detect the fire at initial stages before it spreads to
Open Colleges CPCCBC5009A Identify services layout to medium rise construction
Page 10 of 14

other parts of the building. Also fire alarms can be
put in place to alert the occupants in case of fire.
.2.
The water supply system was poorly done
which can easily lead to water
contamination. Some of the joints are not
well done in that the waste waters can easily
mix with the fresh water hence resulting to
contamination.
2.
To hire a specialized expert to rectify the problem and
avoid the risk of water contamination. This can be
achieved by doing the joints perfectly to avoid water
leakages for both fresh and waste waters.
