What an assessment for CPPBDN6103 must cover

73 assessable components: 5 elements (27 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 42 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 1 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

  • 2.1Research and analyse common, new and emerging structural wall and roof construction systems appropriate for Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.
  • 2.2Identify and analyse commonly used façade and glazing systems in Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.
  • 2.3Identify and analyse construction systems to satisfy compartmentation and separation requirements in Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.
  • 2.4Identify and analyse requirements for construction of required exits, including stairways, ramps and lobbies.
  • 2.5Identify and analyse requirements for construction of non-required stairways, ramps, escalators and lifts.
  • 2.6Analyse structural implications for provision of services.
  • 2.7Research and analyse partitioning systems appropriate for Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.

3 Evaluate and report on the impact of compliance requirements on structural elements for building.

  • 3.1Identify and analyse fire resisting construction requirements relevant to scope of works, nature and use of building.
  • 3.2Identify and analyse NCC requirements for access and egress relevant to scope of works, nature and use of building.
  • 3.3Identify and analyse NCC requirements for health and amenity relevant to scope of works, nature and use of building.
  • 3.4Identify and analyse NCC requirements for energy efficiency relevant to scope of works, nature and use of building.
  • 3.5Document findings to inform design project.

4 Evaluate services for building.

  • 4.1Determine NCC requirements for services and equipment relevant to scope of works, nature and use of building.
  • 4.2Identify and analyse installation methods for different types of services, components and systems relevant to scope of works, nature and use of building.
  • 4.3Identify and analyse fire protection requirements and installation methods appropriate for Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.
  • 4.4Identify and analyse lift installation requirements for Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.
  • 4.5Identify and analyse emergency lighting and exit sign requirements for Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys.
  • 4.6Document findings to inform design project.

5 Plan construction to facilitate continuing maintenance of buildings.

  • 5.1Identify and analyse construction systems for plant decks and safe systems for ongoing access and maintenance.
  • 5.2Nominate key service areas of building project requiring ongoing maintenance.

Performance evidence

  • evaluating and reporting on suitable construction materials, methods and services for two different building design projects involving Class 2-9 buildings up to three storeys
  • each project must involve buildings in different locations and conditions and of different classifications from 2-9 as defined by the National Construction Code (NCC)
  • at least one building must be of Type A construction as defined by the NCC.

Knowledge evidence

  • NCC building classifications and construction types A, B and C
  • relevant local, state/territory and national legislative requirements
  • correct terminology to define building construction and methodology
  • application, behaviour, characteristics, performance and interactions of construction materials and methods
  • construction methods for different geographical locations and climatic conditions
  • strengths and weaknesses of construction methods for different geographical locations and climatic conditions
  • common hazards and risks of construction materials and methods
  • basic principles of structural engineering
  • sources of reliable information on traditional, contemporary and emerging uses of construction materials and methods
  • construction methods:
  • post-tensioning
  • low pitched or flat roofing
  • service cores
  • piles and pile caps
  • sandwich panels
  • fire doors
  • vehicle access doors
  • applicable characteristics of traditional, contemporary and emerging materials:
  • acoustic properties

Questions about assessing CPPBDN6103

What does an assessment tool for CPPBDN6103 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPBDN6103 needs to address all 73 unit components: 5 elements with 27 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 42 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 CPPBDN6103?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPBDN6103 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 CPPBDN6103 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPBDN6103 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 CPPBDN6103, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
