Overview

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to plan, prepare, set out, construct and erect load-bearing and non-load-bearing wall frames for the different types of loadings, meeting all relevant requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.
The unit includes setting out, cutting and fabrication of timber frames and preparation of steel frames and the erection, connection and bracing of frames.
