CPCCWP5002 — Design external above ground waterproofing

1 Plan and prepare.

• 1.1Identify above ground areas to be waterproofed and determine external site conditions, waterproofing brief, challenges, waterproofing system design requirements, including finishes in consultation with stakeholder needs and drawings and specifications.
• 1.2Assess types of construction and their permeability to water and moisture, including concrete, masonry and framing to be managed and identify potential water ingress points for the construction.
• 1.3Identify site conditions, including wind speed, climate zone, water catchment area, and outfalls and overflow effects to adjoining buildings and occupancies below.
• 1.4Analyse areas impacted by waterproofing system failure for their intended use.
• 1.5Determine the management of surface water movement to a drainage point and sub-surface water materials by capillarity.

2 Carry out risk analysis.

• 2.1Assess risks to external wet areas for the purposes of providing designed systems, including service conditions, wind speed, climate zone, water catchment area, and outfall capacities and overflow effects.
• 2.2Assess risk of interstitial condensation within building elements as part of design.
• 2.3Determine ultraviolet (UV) exposure of materials and membranes.
• 2.4Determine effects of water and moisture on building elements.
• 2.5Assess consequence of defects in the waterproofing systems on identified impacted areas.
• 2.6Assess external wet area for provision of the proposed design of waterproofing.

3 Carry out waterproofing design.

• 3.1Identify structural requirements, including wind speeds and climate zone, and the effects on the building envelope and waterproofing systems.
• 3.2Develop design requirements for level of risk to moisture and water exposure.
• 3.3Identify above ground waterproofing systems available to suit the design that are appropriate for the conditions.
• 3.4Analyse and select waterproofing systems suitable for and compatible with site conditions and substrate.
• 3.5Provide a scope for the installation of the waterproofing system, including substrate considerations and compatibility with finishes, in accordance with principal design, stakeholder needs, compliance with relevant regulations, National Construction Code (NCC) performance requirements, Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), environmental requirements, manufacturers’ specifications, and drawings and specifications.
• 3.6Provide quality assurance inspection protocols for waterproofing system installation, including substrate assessment for suitability, compliance of membrane installation with manufacturers’ specifications, completion inspection processes, and repair and maintenance plan.

4 Evaluate waterproofing design.

• 4.1Assess effectiveness of waterproofing system design for suitability with site conditions and consequential affects where water bears at the maximum designed level, risk of moisture and condensation is present, defects are present in the waterproofing system and defects impact the usage of adjoining areas.
• 4.2Review repair and maintenance plan of waterproofing system.
• 4.3Record and report on compliant waterproofing design solutions to stakeholders in accordance with service conditions and manufacturers’ specifications, Australian Standards, and NCC performance requirements.

What does an assessment tool for CPCCWP5002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCWP5002 needs to address all 124 unit components: 4 elements with 20 performance criteria, 36 performance evidence requirements, 68 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CPCCWP5002?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCWP5002 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CPCCWP5002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCCWP5002 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CPCCWP5002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
