Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to interpret and apply relevant planning and building legislation for Class 1 and 10 building design projects. It includes investigating and interpreting planning and building legislation and approval requirements and National Construction Code (NCC) specifications for Class 1 and 10 buildings including deemed-to-satisfy (DTS) provisions. The unit applies to drafters who work under the supervision and instruction of building designers or architects, and who take responsibility, appropriate to their role, for building design documentation compliance with legislation, codes and standards, including the NCC and local authority planning schemes. Drafters use specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable drafting problems.Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to building approvals in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
