Introduction

These resources are still in development.

Welcome to the resources area for Building and construction!

You'll find that the resources in this area are useful for studying or teaching aspects of the units of competency:

• BCGBC4011A Apply structural principles to commercial low-rise constructions

• BCGBC4008A Conduct on-site supervision of the building and construction project.

Note: The resources that you find in this area are only a starting point for these two units of competencies.

The list below represents the content headings and structure of the Briki. Please rearrange, add and delete as you see necessary. Once we have finalised the list we can then determine how the list will be grouped into WikiEducator pages and how we can setup navigation.

Heading level 1 = Unit of competency clustering Heading level 2 = Broad themes Heading level 3 = Content topics Heading level 4 = Content sub-topics Heading level 5 = Sub-topic sections

Where relevant I have put the unit number, element number, performance criteria number or section of the unit guide from where I obtained the heading. For example (4008-3.7) is unit BCGBC4011A, element 3, performance criteria 7.
