Resources required
- Content
- - Geotechnical factors, substructures, and structural systems: overview of substructure and design requirements including site constraints, materials, time, and cost.
- Foundation methods utilising a range of materials – timber, concrete, steel. Structural systems – building type, use and design requirements, provision for services, materials, cladding and finishes. Construction process – site constraints, range of materials, time, and cost implications.
- Passive and active fire protection systems: selection, materials and design requirements are in accordance with NZ Building Code – fire rated separations, fire doors, fire windows, structural protection, penetrations, egress.
- Provision for services, materials, cladding and finishes. Construction process - site constraints, range of materials, time, and cost implications.
- Building envelope: selection and design – wall/roof cladding and openings is in accordance with characteristics of structure.
- Design principles – typical cladding jointing systems.
- Provision for services, materials and finishes to meet building use and design requirements.
- Construction process – site constraints, range of materials, time, and cost implications.
- Interior linings, joinery and fitments. Selection meets building characteristics and regulatory requirements.
- Provision for services, materials and finishes.
- Construction process – site constraints, materials, time and cost implications.
- Technical sketches - Learning and Teaching Resource
- All required and recommended resources are advised to aakonga via course outlines.
- Teaching and Learning Strategy
- Learning and teaching activities will employ a range of elements drawn from approved methods to align with the context of the learning (delivery mode, regional specific requirement, etc.) and any particular needs of the group of aakonga.
- Learning Outcomes
- - Identify geotechnical factors, substructures, and structural systems for medium and large buildings.
- Evaluate fire protection systems and egress route requirements for medium and large buildings.
- Evaluate the building envelope, interior linings, joinery, and fitments for medium and large buildings.
- Create technical sketches for medium and large building projects. - Assessment Criteria
- Assessment in this course employs an achievement-based grading scheme. Aakonga will be advised of all matters relating to summative assessment prior to the start of the course.
