Learning Outcomes

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply quality standards to the selection of building and construction materials. It includes supervising the selection of building materials that meet building standards, contract specifications and service requirements for the project. This unit of competency applies to builders, related construction industry professionals and project managers within building and construction firms responsible for supervising systems through which compliant and quality materials are selected, acquired and stored on site for construction of building projects. This unit of competency applies to those who are self-directed and have substantial depth of knowledge and skills to make independent judgements. Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is req
