This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to prepare drawings that comply with planning and building approval requirements for Class 1 and 10 buildings as defined by the National Construction Code (NCC). It includes planning methods and processes for producing required documentation and checking drawings to confirm quality and consistency against technical expert documentation.

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.

Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to building approvals in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
