Resources required
- Learning Outcomes
- 1. Identify units of measurement and conventions relating to centres and spacing’s, area and volume for building calculations.
2. Identify the roles and responsibilities of all contributing parties to the construction process.
3. Know how to identify sites, satisfy the requirements of building consent authorities and clients, and identify facilities required to start and progress through the build.
4. Know how to read & interpret information, use levelling equipment, & set up building profiles.
5. Identify the different types, applications and finishes of other metals. - Content
- Building mathematics (LO1):
- Units of measurement, conventions for use with centres and spacings
- Area and volume
- Pythagoras’ theorem and its practical application
Planning and communication (LO2):
- Roles and responsibilities of the parties to a construction process
Site establishment and maintenance (LO3)
- Level of complexity (for site establishment and maintenance is equivalent to that of a conventional, two storey dwelling).
Site set-out (LO4)
- Set out complexity to include internal & external corners
Other metals (LO5):
- The level of materials knowledge required is that of an industry practitioner rather than that of an expert with specialist knowledge - Assessment Criteria
- The portfolio is comprised of multiple components. Students need to pass all components of the portfolio and provide sufficient evidence against all learning outcomes in order to pass this module.
- Teaching and Learning Strategy
