What an assessment for CPCCBC6014 must cover
40 assessable components: 5 elements (22 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Apply structural principles to the planning of a construction project.
- 1.1Identify main structural principles that apply to the construction of large, high-rise and complex structures.
- 1.2Identify, analyse and apply performance characteristics of structural elements.
- 1.3Apply the performance of materials in the building plan to the planning of the construction work.
2 Coordinate and manage the site assessment and job set-up.
- 2.1Implement processes to analyse stability of soils and capacity of the site to support the construction loads.
- 2.2Identify and apply requirements for retaining walls to the planning process in conjunction with related industry professionals.
- 2.3Analyse and apply structural function and requirements for temporary structural elements to the planning process.
3 Coordinate and manage construction of footing systems.
- 3.1Undertake coordination of the set-out of the building in accordance with documented building plans, following the full assessment of the site.
- 3.2Assess structural performance of the footings specified in the building plan for compliance with relevant codes and accepted industry construction structural principles.
- 3.3Lay footings, as specified in the building plan, and check for compliance with standards and accepted industry construction principles.
- 3.4Plan, implement and check damp coursing and the provision of termite barriers and other relevant techniques in accordance with codes, standards and industry practice.
4 Coordinate and manage structural elements of the construction process.
- 4.1Identify and analyse technical construction principles and performance characteristics of construction materials in the planning of project.
- 4.2Identify, implement and check processes for construction of all structural elements for compliance with manufacturer specifications and relevant Australian Standards and codes.
- 4.3Identify and implement building plans and relevant standards to ensure appropriate allowances have been made for plumbing, electrical conduits and other services to be installed.
5 Analyse and plan for structural integrity of buildings.
- 5.1Consult relevant industry professionals to provide advice regarding the structural integrity of proposed buildings.
- 5.2Assess structural requirements and loads of the building design.
- 5.3Conduct analysis of the effects of force and movements on structural elements.
- 5.4Conduct analysis of properties and behaviours of structural materials.
- 5.5Conduct analysis of section properties of structural elements using standard industry formulas and performance comparisons.
- 5.6Evaluate performance characteristics of columns using standard industry techniques.
- 5.7Assess methods used for stress distribution in connections between structural elements.
- 5.8Assess impact of various loads on the building structure.
- 5.9Consider design impact of high-performance structural elements.
Performance evidence
- coordinate professional input to evaluate structural integrity of large and complex buildings
- select, position and size all structural members that form fixed or temporary building structures
- clearly analyse structural impact of design decisions
- apply design principles relating to performance
- identify typical faults and problems and the action required to rectify such faults
Knowledge evidence
- government building legislation and regulation
- building codes, specifications and standards: the National Construction Code (NCC); Australian Standards; project specifications
- design principles and behaviour of structural members undergoing stress, strain, tension, compression, bending or combined actions
- structural design: aesthetics; economy; equilibrium; functionality; stability; strength
- properties, characteristics and limitations of structural materials: reinforced and pre-stressed concrete and tilt-up panels; composite steel and concrete; masonry; steel (cold-formed steel) and aluminium
- performance characteristics of columns analysis: bending behaviour and performance of loaded support beams; eccentric and axial load effect; load spanning elements for bending moments, shear forces, deflection and torsion; effect of connections; effect of slab behaviour in relation to spans and stress distribution; effect of slenderness ratio
- high performance structural elements: castellated beams; connections; fire resistance; laminated beams; pre-stressed beams; slabs; trusses; use of steel to reinforce concrete; waffle slabs
- application of structural principles in buildings: dead and live load calculations and characteristics; fire resistance of materials; impact of thermal effects; impact of time-dependent effects, including creep and shrinkage; impact of wind, snow, groundwater, earthquake, liquid pressure, rainwater and earth pressure actions; structural resistance of forms of construction; structural resistance of materials
- project working drawings and specifications
- work health and safety (WHS) and organisational quality procedures and processes
- temporary structural elements: bracing; close sheeting; formwork props; pressure resistant formwork; scaffolding sole plates; shields; shoring collar sets; soldier sets; ties
Foundation skills
- communication skills: consult effectively with industry professionals, and use relevant industry terminology and concepts
- technology skills: use digital tools and devices to communicate and collaborate effectively with others; use equipment and programs to access, extract information and develop relevant documentation

Questions about assessing CPCCBC6014
What does an assessment tool for CPCCBC6014 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCCBC6014 needs to address all 40 unit components: 5 elements with 22 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 11 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.
How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for CPCCBC6014?
Auditori pulls the current release of CPCCBC6014 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.
Is the first assessment tool really free?
Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for CPCCBC6014 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing CPCCBC6014 assessment instead of generating a new one?
Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of CPCCBC6014, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
