CPCCBC4006B Select, procure and store construction materials for low rise projects
Assessment 1: Compare 5 building materials and select the most appropriate to the client's wishes through an evaluative report. (Maximum of 600 words)
With reference to the project documents, complete the product evaluation matrix to identify materials best suited to the project requirements and the client's requests. You must consider a minimum of 5 materials, including one alternative material.
The client has asked for the following characteristics to be considered:
a) Fire safety
b) Durability
c) Compatibility of materials
d) Environmental impact
e) Price
Your report should include the evaluation matrix, and a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the materials considered. Metharom also requires that you consider a minimum of 3 materials and the tolerances allowed by the VBA.
This assessment should total no more than 750 words.

Assessment 2: Select building materials in a report to the VBA. (Maximum of 800 words)
Using the project evaluation matrix (from assessment 1) prepare a report for the Victorian Building Authority (the assessor) that explains the materials you have chosen. Your report will need to be thorough, as it will be submitted to State building authorities.
Therefore, the report must discuss:
a) Your final selection, as well as a replacement should the material be unavailable at the time of building
b) Justification of how the materials are structurally appropriate for the project, with reference to the project documentation
c) Explanation of compliance with the Australian standards, and National Construction Code (BCA)
This document should total no more than 800 words.
a. Write about the material selected here or alternative material selected.
b. Justification of how the materials are structurally appropriate for the project, with reference to the project documentation
c. Explanation of compliance with the Australian standards, and National Construction Code (BCA)

Therefore, the report must discuss:
a) Your final selection, as well as a replacement for each
b) should the material be unavailable at the time of building
c) Justification of how the materials are structurally appropriate for the project, with reference to the project documentation
d) Explanation of compliance with the Australian standards, and National Construction Code (BCA)
This document should total no more than 800 words.
a) Discuss their final material selections, and provide a replacement (should the material be unavailable at the time of the build)
b) Justify how the materials are structurally appropriate for the project
c) Explain compliance with the Australian Standards and the National Construction Code
Assessment 3: Meet with the supplier in a role play.
While you were away from the work site, the supplier has delivered to you the materials that were ordered. The majority of the delivery has arrived without an issue however, you have identified that the tiles for the wet areas have arrived in the wrong colour. Additionally, the timber required for the flooring shows signs of wear and damage.
To correct this, you will need to meet with the supplier (the assessor) to come to an agreement regarding resupply of the materials. It is likely that you will need to negotiate with the supplier to come to an agreement that suits both of you.
Once you and the supplier have reached an agreement, you will need to draft a notice for staff informing them of the outcome and any action that they are required to undertake.
The assessor will be looking for the ability to:
• Share information
• Communicate with suppliers
• Communication with employees
• Supervision of employees
• Use language appropriate to workplace meetings and discussions
Assessment 4: Create policies and procedures for use by the work team. (Maximum of 1500 words)
Choose 3 materials from those that you have selected for the building project. Write a set of policies for these materials for use by those working on the construction site, as well as management.
Your policies and additional information will need to include:
a) For each material, describe how transport could be damaging
b) One policy per material regarding safe handling
c) One policy per material regarding OHS requirements for use of the material
d) One policy per material regarding safe storage, as recommended by the manufacturer and the Australian Standards
These documents should be compiled into a single file for submission. The file must not exceed 1500 words.
Assessment 5: Prepare a set of procedures directing the acceptance, handling and storage of materials on the work site. (Maximum of 400 words)
Reports indicate that some of the work crews are using excessive amounts of timber and metal on-site. To correct this, write a set of procedures that outline the actions that employees should take for:
a) Performing quality checks on the timber
b) Assessing whether defects are present
c) Preventing damage from occurring to the timber, ferrous metals, and non-ferrous metals on-site
d) Correcting defects caused by incorrect installation of materials
These policies should total no more than 400 words.
