Apply Building Codes & Standards to the
construction process for low rise building projects
Introduction
Overview
This guide has been designed to help you to attain knowledge and develop the necessary skills to access, interpret and apply relevant building codes and standards applicable to the construction processes of residential and low rise commercial buildings.
The information in this guide covers the unit of competency CPCCBC4001A, which is part of the overall Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Building) CPC40110. Each chapter in this guide presents you with information to build your knowledge of the processes involved in understanding the purpose and content of the National Construction Code including the Building Code of Australia and to have the ability to interpret other codes and standards related to a specific building.
This guide is designed to be read in conjunction with National Construction Code Series 2013 NCC 2013 Building Code of Australia volume 1 NCC 2013 Building Code of Australia volume 2 NCC 2013 Guide to the BCA Volume One
These 3 volumes will be accessed throughout this guide and will form the basis of this Unit of Competency.
You will need to become familiar with these 3 volumes in order to attain competency. These are the basis of making decisions in your role of designing or constructing low rise residential or commercial buildings.
Throughout this guide we will be making references to these volumes so that you can become familiar with handling them and researching solutions for your role in construction.
The information in this guide will follow the process as outlined below:

Chapter 1: Relevant Codes and standards
Why are codes and standards needed? We need codes and standards in order to enable the achievement of nationally consistent, minimum necessary standards of relevant safety (including structural safety and safety from fire), health, amenity, and sustainability objectives efficiently.
The code that has been developed to achieve this is the National Construction Code (NCC). In this module we will examine the NCC, its history and how to use it in order to design and construct buildings. We will also learn how the Australian Standards align with this code.
In examining the NCC we will look at its history and how it applies to construction today. To start with, let’s examine what the NCC is.
What is the National Construction Code?
The following explanation is taken from BCA volume 1, pages 7 & 8.
THE NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION CODE SERIES
The National Construction Code Series (NCC) is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments developed to incorporate all on-site construction requirements into a single code.
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is Volume One and Volume Two of the NCC.
FORMAT
The NCC is published in three volumes:
VOLUME ONE:
Pertains primarily to Classes 2 to 9 buildings.
VOLUME TWO:
Pertains primarily to Classes 1 and 10 buildings (houses, sheds, carports, etc).
VOLUME THREE:
Pertains primarily to plumbing and drainage associated with all classes of buildings.
All three volumes are drafted in a performance format allowing a choice of Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions or flexibility to develop Alternative Solutions based on existing or new innovative building, plumbing and drainage products, systems and designs.
