- Learning Outcomes
- 1. Identify configuration and components of walls, how walls are constructed and permanently fixed together, and key aspects of non-load bearing framing.
2. Identify types of ceiling framing and components.
3. Explain conventions associated with centres and spacing’s, and how Pythagorus’ theorem and trigonometry are used in building
4. Identify roof types and structures, and roof framing and trim components - Content
- Wall Framing (LO1):
- Types and configurations of walls can be either timber, or formed light gauge steel channel
- Construction process - must address in situ framing and working with prefabricated frames
- Non load-bearing includes interior partitioning, but on it's own does not meet the learning outcome/s for this course
Ceiling Farming (LO2):
- How to frame around penetrations
- Types - sloping, flat, vaulted
- Can be either timber, or formed light gauge steel channel
Building Calculations (LO3):
- Explain conventions associated with centres and spacing’s, and how Pythagoras’ theorem and trigonometry are used in building - 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.
