This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to work effectively as a drafter in a building design environment. This includes completing drafting activities to support the designer, working safely and collaboratively and managing documentation for future retrieval.

The unit applies to drafters who work under the supervision and instruction of building designers or architects and use specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable drafting problems.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
