Working drawings are completed to meet architectural conventions and in accordance with the relevant legislation. Working drawings are checked with team members for consistency of presentation, cross-referencing and accuracy and to comply with relevant legislation. |
Element: |
Produce preliminary drawings |
Performance Criteria: |
Types of preliminary drawings required and key features to be recorded conform to the scope and standard of the job being undertaken. Tools and equipment required for producing sketches/drawings are prepared and checked for safety and serviceability. Simple two and three-dimensional drawings are created to resolve construction details. |
Element: |
Produce preliminary working drawings |
Performance Criteria: |
Working drawings for residential buildings are produced using standard drawing conventions and in accordance with current Australian Standards. Industry best practice conventions are applied to the production of building drawings. |
Element: |
Read, interpret and articulate plans and specifications for a residential building |
Performance Criteria: |
Relevant plans and specifications are identified to develop a set of working drawings. Key information is located, interpreted and articulated according to relevant specifications and relevant legislation. Advice is sought from client and other stakeholders, when required, to articulate and clarify any issues. |
Learning Outcomes
This unit of competency supports the attainment of the skills and knowledge required for building designers to produce working drawings for residential buildings (BCA Classes 1 and 10) within the context of relevant legislation, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and Australian Standards.
Details of Learning Activities
Studios : These sessions will be delivered remotely
There are studios for Produce Preliminary and Working Drawings for Residential Buildings which are a simulated workplace. You are responsible for your own learning, research and review of resources. Active participation is required in online sessions & studios, and in particular in feedback sessions. Ask questions and discuss variables with team members (other students).
You should bring your notes from the construction lectures in to studios, as we will apply this theory to the drawing process. You must review presentations to ensure understanding, they are available on Canvas. Bring any questions you have from the construction lectures in to the studios for clarification.
Independent research:
To keep up with Industry you need to research many aspects of residential construction.
Teaching Schedule
While all course content will be delivered, the order and mode of delivery may change depending on the availability of specialist facilities and equipment.
Please check CANVAS regularly as any updates will be communicated by your teacher.
Due dates for assessment tasks dependent on access to specialist facilities and equipment may change. Please check Canvas regularly as any updates will be communicated by your teacher.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning:
Credit transfer is the recognition of previously completed formal learning (an officially accredited qualification).
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows you to demonstrate competence using the skills you have gained through experience in the workplace, voluntary work, informal or formal training or other life experiences.
Please speak to your teacher if you wish to discuss applying for Credit Transfer or RPL for the unit(s) of competency addressed in this course.

Overview of Assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate building design workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. Holistic or project-based assessment with other related units is recommended.
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
• comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations
• apply organisational policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements where applicable
• produce two and three-dimensional drawings for residential building projects, including at least one orthographic, one isometric and one perspective drawing
• complete working drawings to industry standard and as determined by the project brief.
Assessment Tasks
Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training qualifications are assessed for Competency. To be assessed as Competent means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills at a standard expected in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in this course, you will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
You should refer to the assessment brief which is available through Canvas for full assessment criteria.
Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:
CA: Competency Achieved
NYC: Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment
There is one Learning Task to confirm engagement in the program and to provide basic skills required for the assessment tasks. There are three assessment tasks that you are required to complete "SATISFACTORY" to be deemed "COMPETENT"in this course.
This course will be co-delivered with Apply Structural and Construction Technology to the Design of Residential Buildings , VU22455 (ARCH5226).
Learning Task 01 (LT-01)- Cabin Exercise
This task is a learning exercise to confirm engagement in the program and provide basic skills required for assessment tasks.
Assessment Task 01 (AT-01)- Single Storey Residence
This assessment is a folio of drawings for a Single Storey Residence that will be produced in studios. These drawings are core drawings required for a Building Permit. Review and revision of the drawings will be in your own time based on feedback provided in lectures and studios.
Assessment Task 02 (AT-02)- Alteration and Addition for a Two Storey Residence
This assessment is a folio of drawings for an Alteration and Addition for a Two Storey Residence that will be produced in studios. Review and revision of the drawings will be in your own time based on feedback provided in lectures and studios.
Assessment Task 03 (AT-03)- Work in Progress (W.I.P.) Meeting
The purpose of this task is to assess your employability skills. This includes applying organisational procedures and quality assurance techniques in the process of demonstrating an understanding of the process to complete a set of working drawings to industry best practice.
Due Dates As Follows:
LT-01 Semester 1, Week 5
AT-01 Semester 1, Week 16
AT-02 Semester 2, Week 16
