Introduction
This assessment has been designed to allow you to provide partial evidence of
your competence in the unit CPCCBC4010B Apply structural principles to
residential low rise constructions.
Note: you will need to complete additional assessments as you progress through
your course to demonstrate competence for all aspects of the unit.
In completing your final assessments, you will show evidence of your ability to:
 Plan, coordinate and manage the laying of floor system.
 Plan, coordinate and manage the building of structural and non-structural
wall systems.
 Plan, coordinate and manage the building of roof system.
 Plan, coordinate and manage the external wall cladding of structure.
Project 2 – Coordinating the construction for structural
integrity
a) Revisit the Casey plans you reviewed in Project 1 for this module. Casey
plans – Sections, Elevations, Floor Plan, Site Plan.
Create your own checklist using the table below to assist the construction
manager/foreman to coordinate and check the building.
Your checklist will include the following structural systems, and list what
needs to checked for quality and compliance with the NCC and Australian
Standards:
 footings
 floor system
 structural and non-structural wall systems
 roof system
 external wall cladding of structure
 fencing
Hint: the following Australian Standard will help with this assessment: AS 1684 –
Non – Cyclonic
Structural system List the relevant
NCC and
Australian
Standards that
systems must
comply with
List the structural
components to be
checked
List the quality
checks needed to
ensure
construction is
compliant and in
line with accepted
industry
principles.
