Review of Building Control Surveying unit standards

Subfield	Domain	ID
Compliance and Law Enforcement	Building Control Surveying	22698, 22864, 22865, 24160-24164, 24166-24173, 24175- 24177, 24519, 25460-25462, 25465, 25466

The Skills Organisation has reviewed the unit standards listed above.

Summary

These unit standards were written for the National Diploma in Building Control Surveying (Small Buildings) (Level 5) [Ref: 1486] and the National Diploma in Building Control Surveying (Medium and Large Buildings) (Level 6) [Ref:1487], that were reviewed and replaced, and will be discontinued in December 2019.

The new qualification suite is the New Zealand Certificate in Building Regulatory Environment (Level 4) [Ref 3029] and the New Zealand Diploma in Building Surveying (Level 6) [Ref: 3030].

The replaced qualifications had a different approach to the new qualifications which means this suite of standards are not fit for purpose.  New unit standards to support the New Zealand qualifications are in development, but are not directly replacing this suite standards.

Main changes

These unit standards were set to expire without replacement.

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2019.
