exercise of considerable discretion and judgement, using a range of
problem solving and decision making strategies. No licensing,
legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this
unit at the time of publication.
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake
financial management within a work team in an organisation. It
includes planning and implementing financial management approaches,

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to
contribute to the systematic management of work health and safety
(WHS) risk. It applies to individuals who provide specialised
knowledge, systematic approaches and guidance to a range of personnel.
NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work
health and safety' (WHS) are equivalent and generally either can be
used in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the National Model WHS
Legislation has not been implemented RTOs are advised to contextualise
the unit of competency by referring to the existing State/Territory
OHS legislative requirements. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or
certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of
publication.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to access,
interpret and apply relevant building codes and standards applicable
to the construction processes of medium rise commercial and wide span
buildings (medium rise licensing classification with reference to
Classes 1 and 10 construction, Classes 2 and 3 to a maximum of 3
storeys, and Classes 4 to 9 to a maximum of 3 storeys, not including
Type A construction). To successfully construct medium rise buildings
requires thorough knowledge of the purpose and content of the Building
Code of Australia (BCA), coupled with the ability to interpret other
codes and standards related to a specific building.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to monitor
building or construction costing systems. The processes and practices
involved in supervising and monitoring costing systems result in the
ongoing maintenance of cost control and the production of expenditure
schedules and other arrangements, which ensure contracts or projects
remain on budget. In order to achieve the outcomes for this unit,
knowledge of relevant legislation, codes and standards, industry
estimating and costing systems, and financial principles is required.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to
supervise the planning process and organisation of on-site building or
construction work projects up to and including medium rise commercial
and wide span buildings (medium rise licensing classification with
reference to Class 1 and 10 construction, Class 2 and 3 to a maximum
of 3 storeys, Class 4 to 9 to a maximum of 3 storeys, not including
Type A construction). Successful supervision of planning and
organisation requires effective interpretation of contractual and
planning requirements and development of strategies for using human
and physical resources effectively in order to comply with contractual
obligations. In order to achieve the outcomes for this unit, knowledge
of relevant building and construction planning practices, state or
territory building and construction codes, standards and regulations
and human resource principles and practices is required.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to apply
site surveys and set-out procedures to medium rise building and
construction projects. It addresses the skills and practices required
to measure, record and interpret data using measuring and levelling
equipment and to set out building projects. The ability to operate
specific surveying equipment and apply calculations and knowledge of
the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and Australian standards are
essential.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to apply
structural principles to the building of medium rise buildings. The
design and construction of medium rise buildings require the input of
a range of skilled professionals, including architects and engineers.
The building and construction professional plays a significant role
within this project team and requires the ability to communicate
effectively with building design professionals, and develop sound and
safe practices in relation to structural procedures on site.
Prerequisites:
