Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to verify physical performance and compliance liability of panelised or modular prefabricated timber building systems and components during off-site manufacturing to ensure that delivered product matches the design specifications and regulatory obligations. The unit applies to individuals who work as compliance officers, supervisors or managers in a prefabricated timber building systems manufacturing plant. Such individuals demonstrate deep knowledge in a specific technical area and analyse, design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace. No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare to verify prefabricated timber building systems and components
  • 1.1 Obtain and confirm production schedule, design documentation, plans, requirements, workplace health and safety requirements and established procedures relevant to the off-site manufacturing order
  • 1.2 Identify certification and compliance requirements for prefabricated timber building system, components, materials and in-built services from design specifications or appropriate codes and standards
  • 1.3 Identify tolerances for material quality, physical dimensions and service connections from design specifications
  • 1.4 Prioritise and sequence verification work according to production schedules for completion within established timeframes
  • 1.5 Consult appropriate personnel, testers and certifiers to coordinate verification work efficiently
2. Conduct verification for compliance and conformance
  • 2.1 Verify that connections, structural components and physical dimensions of timber framing structure are appropriate for grade, thickness, tolerances and choice of materials according to minimum specified design requirements before installation services
  • 2.2 Verify that provisions have been made for components including hydraulics, electrical and heating, ventilation, air conditioningmechanical services and plumbing
  • 2.3 Ensure that partition/walls or floor elements are assembled according to design specifications, local codes and standards for minimising or eliminating continuity issues in the final, installed prefabricated timber building system
  • 2.4 Verify regulated components including fire-rated walls or fire protection systems for conformance with performance requirements of relevant codes, standards and design specifications, and ensure that damage is minimised within the manufacturing environment
  • 2.5 Ensure that any variations of material properties or system component decided during the off-site manufacture meet performance, design specification, relevant codes and standards
  • 2.6 Ensure that off-site installation of services conform to the appropriate local standards and are approved before delivery to the construction site
  • 2.7 Verify completed prefabricated timber building system to ensure that delivered product is safe for manual handling and meets design specifications and regulatory requirements
3. Report verification findings
  • 3.1 Identify and report non-compliance and non-conformance issues according to established procedures
  • 3.2 Make recommendations for rectifying compliance and conformance issues according to established procedures
  • 3.3 Document completion of verification work according to established procedures
