a. Location plan
b. Site plan
c. Elevation
d. Detail drawing
e. Section plan
f. Floor plan
g. Demolition plan
Match each to their description below, by writing the letter that corresponds to your answer in the space provided.
Description
i. It indicates where the proposed building is to be located in relation to existing buildings, adjoining properties and boundaries.
ii. It indicates where the proposed building is to be located in relation to nearby streets or properties and other relevant features such as dams and waterways.
iii. It contains the details of the junctions and interfaces between and within major building elements and special areas in a building.

iv. It shows the position of elements (e.g. walls, windows, doors, lifts, ramps and so on) relative to each other.

v. It shows a cross-section of the building and indicates the basic structural characteristics of elements (e.g. roof, walls, subfloor and footings).
vi. It identifies which site features or parts of a building are to be demolished.

Activity 1.2

Explain what a Class 9 building classification is.

Activity 1.3
List three examples of process and quality requirements that Australian Standards cover.

II. Determine Construction Compliance Requirements from NCC

Activity 2.1

True or False
Review the statements below about NCC Performance Requirements. Indicate whether each statement is True or False.
Tick the box that corresponds to your answer.

i. Governing Requirements are outlined in Section A of Volume One, Section 1 of Volume Two and Section A of Volume Three
ii. Energy efficiency is not an example of an NCC Performance Requirement.
iii. Governing requirements are also known as General Requirements.
iv. Performance Requirements are requirements that state the minimum level of performance of buildings and plumbing and drainage installations.
v. Performance requirements can be achieved through Deemed-to-Satisy (DTS) Solutions only.

Activity 2.2
Explain the following requirements as outlined in the NCC:
i. Fire protection
ii. Energy efficiency
iii. Fire protection
iv. Energy efficiency

Activity 2.3
Fill in the blanks
The following are statements about the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) guidelines in formulating Performance Solutions. Review each and complete the statement by filling in the missing words/phrases.

i. A is a document that serves as a record of all the fundamental activities and outcomes of the Performance Solution design process as agreed during the stakeholder negotiation process.
ii. The PBDP must adequately demonstrate that after designing the solutions and conducting assessment methods, the relevant NCC have been achieved.
iii. The must be chosen according to what is appropriate to the complexity of your project and carried out following what is agreed by stakeholders in the PBDB.
iv. After the results are collated, an will be carried out to form the conclusions for the final report. The results must meet the agreed in the PBDB. In the evaluation, any uncertainties and sensitivities must also be considered.
v. The documentation for compliance with Performance Requirements must be retained for a minimum period together with the relevant compliance certificate where applicable.

III. Determine Fire Protection Requirements

Activity 3.1

True or False
Review the statements below about fire protection requirements. Indicate whether each statement is True or False.
Tick the box that corresponds to your answer.

Activity 3.2
Briefly define what active fire protection requirements are.

Activity 3.3
Matching Type
Identify the fire classification being described in each statement below.

Description
i. Involves flammable gases such as hydrogen, butane, or methane.

ii. Involves carbonaceous solids (contains the chemical element carbon as the basic fuel) such as wood, paper, cloth, plastic, grass, coal, or rubber.
iii. Involves any of the materials found in Class A and B fires but with the introduction of electrical equipment such as wiring, electrical appliances, and other electrically energized objects in the vicinity of the fire.
iv. Involves combustible metals such as sodium, magnesium, potassium, or aluminum shavings.
v. Involves flammable liquids such as petrol, turpentine, kerosene, tar, paint, or wax.
vi. Involves cooking fats and oils. The temperature of the oils that are on fire is higher than that of flammable liquids.
