Resources required
- Content
- - Geotechnical factors and substructures: overview of substructure and design requirements including site constraints, materials, time, and cost. Foundation methods utilising a range of materials – timber, concrete, steel.
- Building types and structure: use and empirical design requirements, provision for services, materials, cladding and finishes. Construction process – site constraints, range of materials, time, and cost implications for specific and non-specific design.
- Building envelope: selection and design – wall/roof cladding and openings are in accordance with characteristics of structure. Design principles – typical cladding jointing system.
