Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to produce three-dimensional (3-D) models for small-scale building design projects involving residential projects and commercial or industrial projects up to 2,000m2 floor area and buildings of Type B and C construction, as defined in the National Construction Code (NCC).This unit is suitable for drafters and building designers who apply technical and theoretical knowledge and skills to building design work tasks.This unit forms part of the licensing requirements for people engaged in building design in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
