CPCCBC4001A – Apply building codes and standards to the construction
process for low rise building projects
Metharom Construction (MC) plans to become a leading provider of housing construction and renovation services in the South-East Melbourne area. The company's overall strategy will be based on a continuing improvement process of setting objectives, measuring results, and providing feedback to facilitate further growth and progress. They have been involved in large scale construction for 3 years and are now branching out to residential housing. During this unit, you will need to take on the role of the site supervisor. Your responsibilities RTO No: 31250 | CRICOS Provider Code: 03579K Page 4
of 26
are to: enforce site safety plans, ensure all tradespersons are inducted before they begin work, ensure currency of project documentation, make changes to specifications to incorporate client requirements, ensure that any contractors are complying with site rules and safe work method statements, identify and correct hazards, ensure that the site is ready for each trade before they arrive, and have frequent toolbox talks to ensure that WHS procedures are known and followed.
For more information regarding Metharom Construction, please see the appendices and company policy documentation.
Assessment 1: Prepare a report that explains the classification of the building work to the client. (Maximum of 400 words)
Prepare a short report for the client to explain the classification of their building works. You will need to ensure that your report is correctly formatted (including an introduction, body and conclusion), and include information regarding the following:
a)
The classification of the building, according to the National Construction Code
Class 1a building
.
Class 1b building
.
Class 2 buildings
Class 3
buildings
Class 4 buildings
Class 5 buildings
Class 6 buildings
Class 7 buildings
Class 8 buildings
Class 9 buildings
Class 10 buildings
b)
Whether there are multiple classifications applicable to the build
The overall standard is that if the zone you're taking a gander at is greater than 10% of the complete floor territory at that point it will get its own characterization. So, suppose you had a storage building and you had a little office in the front that office was under 10% of the floor
region it would the entire structure will be worked as a 7b Classification. nonetheless, if that little Office space was bigger than 10% of your floor territory Then the principle building will
be worked as a 7b structure and the workplace space Will be worked as a class 5 structure.
c)
A description of the nature of the building (such as residential, commercial, public use, industrial) and how it may be used
RTO No: 31250 | CRICOS Provider Code: 03579K Page 5
of 26
Class 1 buildings
are houses. Typically, they are standalone single dwellings of a domestic or residential nature. These buildings can also be horizontally attached to other Class 1 buildings. When attached they are commonly referred to as duplexes, terrace houses, row houses and townhouses. In these situations, they must be separated by a wall that has fire-
resisting and sound insulation properties.
Class 2
buildings
are apartment complexes. They are ordinarily multi-unit private structures where individuals reside above and beneath one another. The NCC depicts the space which would be viewed the apartment as a sole-occupancy unit (SOU).
Class 3 buildings
may also be “care-type” facilities (such as accommodation buildings for children, the elderly, or people with a disability) which are not Class 9 buildings
Examples include a boarding house, guest house, hostel or backpackers (that are larger than the limits for a Class 1b building). Class 3 buildings could also include dormitory style accommodation, or workers’ quarters for shearers or fruit pickers.
Class 4
building
part of a building would be a caretaker’s residence in a storage facility. A Class 4 part can only be located in a Class 5 to 9 building.
Class 5 buildings
are offices for lawyers, accountants, government agencies and architects.
Class 6 buildings
are a place for the sale of retail goods or the supply of services direct to the
public. Some examples are: dining room, bar, shop or kiosk part of a hotel or motel, hairdresser or barber shop.
Class 7a buildings
are carparks. Class 7b buildings
are typically warehouses, storage buildings or buildings for the display of
goods
Class 8 buildings can be used for production, assembling, altering, repairing, finishing, packing, or cleaning of goods or produce. Class 9a buildings
are generally hospitals, referred to in the NCC as health-care buildings.
Class 9b buildings
are get together structures in which individuals may assemble for social, dramatic, political, strict or common purposes. Such as schools, nigh clubs etc
Class 10a buildings
are non-habitable buildings including sheds, carports, and private garages. Class 10b
buildings
is a structure being a fence, mast, antenna, retaining wall, swimming pool, or the like. RTO No: 31250 | CRICOS Provider Code: 03579K Page 6

Class 10c building
is a private bushfire shelter. A private bushfire shelter is a structure associated with, but not attached to, a Class 1a building.
This report should be no more than 400 words.
Assessment 2: Discuss the compliance of the building plans, via a construction brief. (Maximum of 1250 words)
Check the compliance of the existing building (refer to the plans for the ground floor) against the National Construction Code 2016 and associated building standards, through a construction brief. You will need to list applicable requirements from the Code, and what you
will do to ensure that you have complied with the requirement.
The construction brief must discuss:
a)
Passive and active fire controls and protections
active fire controls
direct wire smoke detector this is one of the effective active fire control equipment which can warn you of a fire when you are asleep, busy or in a different part of the house from where the fire is. They provide you extra warning time when you are awake, and they will wake you if a fire occurs while you are asleep. Many people think that they will smell smoke and wake up if a fire occurs in their home, but this isn’t true. Many fires produce odourless gasses that are very toxic. People who are asleep can be overcome by these gasses without ever waking up. Smoke alarms provide life-saving warnings to allow you to get out of the house before you are trapped by fire or smoke.
passive fire controls
Uninvolved security alludes to imperviousness to fire measures. These controls are tied in with forestalling the spread of fire and opposing start in any case. This opposition is for the most part underlying and intended to compartmentalize your structure and seclude a fire. Latent fire security is important both for the wellbeing of building tenants and for the limiting
of building harm. Through compelling compartmentalisation, you can keep up the underlying
respectability of your structure and guarantee the protected clearing of your colleagues.

b)
Fire resistance levels
fire walls and doors
The common compartmentation framework utilizes fire-evaluated dividers and related fire ways to contain fire. Fire-appraised dividers are planned to forestall the even section of fire. The fire rating of the divider may fluctuate from 20 minutes to 4 hours and might be determined for a fire openness on one or the two sides of the divider. The entryways in these dividers additionally have a fire rating, which is typically lower than the fire rating of the divider. The hypothesis behind the lower rating is that the structure substance, which fill in as
the fuel, are not situated before the entryway. Accordingly, the fire openness to the entryway can be not exactly that accomplished by the divider.
fire resistance paint coating
The fire-retardant paint assists that with terminating doesn't spread if there should arise an occurrence of fire in a structure. In this manner, it is quite possibly the most effective measures to forestall fire spreading quickly, as it contributes fire and smoke not to spread. Fire-retardant paint is fundamental particularly with regards to private structures, since containing fire permits individuals inside the structure to have more opportunity to leave it. It is essential to separate fire retardant paint from intumescent paint. The first maintains a strategic distance from the spread of the fire, while the subsequent one responds when there is
an increment in temperature in the structure by growing and making a thick layer of froth that
protects the components that cover it, containing the fire and keeping it from harming the design of the structure.
c)
Health and amenity
Roof ands external walls
A roof and external wall must prevent the penetration of water that could cause unhealthy or dangerous conditions or loss of amenity for occupants and it will damage the building elements as well.
Moisture from the ground
moisture from the ground must be prevented from causing undue dampness or deterioration of building elements and unhealthy or dangerous conditions or loss of amenity for occupants
thermal environment
Well insulated, warm homes can drastically reduce winter mortality and illness: the incidence
of heart attacks, strokes, and other respiratory diseases is directly increased by excess cold.
RTO No: 31250 | CRICOS Provider Code: 03579K Page 8
of 26
Noise
Undesirable clamor in homes can be, best case scenario, an aggravation, however to say the least can cause longer term medical problems. Temporarily, undesirable commotion can cause movement aggravation, discourse obstruction and upset rest, unwinding and rest. In the
more drawn out term there is proof of more slippery wellbeing impacts, on the grounds that the presence of clamor can cause expanded degrees of stress chemicals, expanding the danger
of cardiovascular impacts (coronary illness and hypertension). The pain brought about by neighbor commotion issues and helpless sound protection between homes is very much archived, in spite of the fact that clamor grievance insights for the most part think little of the degree of disappointment.
d)
Safe movement and access
bathroom safety
Use slip safe flooring system and avoid steps.
Provide handles and bars close to showers, in showers and contiguous to toilets for old and impaired occupants.
Design and introduce kid safe cupboards for prescriptions and perilous substances.
Comply with Australian Standards that determine least distances between water sources (showers, bowls, tubs) and force focuses.
Comply with Building Code of Australia (BCA) prerequisites for outward opening of sterile latrine entryways or introduce sliding entryways or use pivots that grant ways to be eliminated from an external perspective. Numerous coronary episodes happen in
latrines with the casualty hindering internal opening entryways.
Ensure that protection locks on washroom entryways can be opened from an external perspective on account of a crisis.
Provide a night light or development delicate light switch in the entry for safe admittance to the latrine around evening time. Angle of inclination
the angle of inclination of the flight must be comfortable and within the limits imposed by the
BCA. The BCA states that the riser can be between 115 mm and 190 mm, and the going between 240 and 355 mm for a stairway in a residential building.

Barriers and handrails provide protection from falls or from access to swimming pools, balconies and alfresco and etc.
e)
Energy efficiency
Double glazed windows
Double glazed windows are
an ideal energy efficient choice with the added benefit of minimising noise. The sealed air gap between the two panes acts as an added layer of insulation. This added thermal resistance reduces the amount of heat escaping in winter and keeps your home at a more comfortable temperature.
Solar panels
Solar electricity is one way to power that benefits the environment. There are no direct greenhouse gas emissions because the electricity is made from sunlight rather than burning fossil fuels.
Sunlight is a renewable energy source, meaning we will never run out of it. Coal and gas are fossil fuels and will eventually run out. And in Australia there’s plenty of sunshine all year round. And there is enough power source.
skylights
The biggest benefit of skylights is how they let natural light into your space. And with that light comes solar heat. Natural light is known to improve mood and even help with performance in workplaces. And heating your home with sunlight can save on heating costs during the chilly seasons.
Skylight windows can open to let in the fresh air. This helps with cross ventilation in stuffy rooms, freshens up the air and cools down your living spaces without turning on the air conditioner.
As we mentioned above, sunlight can heat up your spaces and cross ventilation can cool them
down. Each can cut down on your energy costs Water saving tanks and a water recycling system
Reusing household wastewater to water gardens or lawns can help save hundreds of litres of fresh water each day. Recycling wastewater for irrigation on single household properties has the potential to not only save significant amounts of drinking water, but also to save on the application of fertilisers to gardens and lawns, which ultimately saves you money.
Your construction brief must be no more than 1250 words.
