The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standard above.

 

Date new version published                                                             November 2010

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

Summary

 

The construction industry identified a need for a unit standard covering contract drawings and specifications for building at Level 4 that is accessible to all sectors.  Standard 13035 was considered to be appropriate for this purpose, except that the requirement for assessment against a building of two stories was a barrier because it required unnecessary complexity.

 

Standard 13035 was reviewed by a cross-sector Industry Working Party including representatives from the carpentry, floor and wall tiling, interior systems, external plastering and concrete industries.  Also included were representatives from polytechnics, Joinery ITO and Creative Trades ITO.  In a series of meetings the new replacement standard 26778, which better meets industry needs, was developed.

 

Main changes

 

·      The requirement for assessment against a building of two stories has been removed and the title now reflects the new context.

·      Explanatory notes, outcome statements and evidence requirements have been updated to incorporate industry-wide terminology.

·      Standard 13035 has been designated expiring and replaced by new standard 26778.

·      The new standard will be registered in the Core Construction domain as it is now relevant to sectors across the construction industry rather than being specific to carpentry.

 

Category C unit standard 13035 will expire at the end of December 2013.

 

Transition
