- Proprietary systems include manufactured design solutions for specific building components that form a complete system, both prefabricated and site-assembled
Materials (LO2):
- The level of knowledge required for materials other than timber is proportional to their use in the industry, and in specific contexts
Walls and structures (LO3):
- Reinforcing and concrete is covered under the concrete floors skill set in the support structure specification
- Erecting precast concrete walls, precast concrete columns and beams and other prebuilt panels
Suspended concrete floors (LO4):
- The different types, purposes, materials and construction methods of suspended concrete floors - Assessment Criteria
