• 1.3Identify wind classification for building design in accordance with AS 4055.
• 1.4Identify forces and loads in timber-framed structure relevant to building design.

2 Determine specifications for timber framing elements.

• 2.1Evaluate properties and stress grading of timber species commonly used in timber framing.
• 2.2Evaluate elements and properties of engineered timber to meet required application in timber-framed buildings.
• 2.3Specify selection, position and size of floor framing members for building design project.
• 2.4Specify selection, position and size of wall framing members for building design project.
• 2.5Specify selection, position and size of common rafters, ceiling joists and roof battens.
• 2.6Identify and locate hanging beams, ridgeboards and ridgebeams, collar ties underpurlins, struts and strutting beams.

3 Determine bracing and tie-down installation for building design.

• 3.1Identify bracing requirements for the project according to building type and location.
• 3.2Specify bracing type and installation details to meet project requirements.
• 3.3Design the bracing layout for building design project.
• 3.4Calculate and specify fixing and tie-down requirements.

4 Prepare timber framing documentation.

• 4.1Reconcile specifications to accord with preliminary drawings.
• 4.2Develop accurate drawings, annotations and schedules that incorporate timber framing specifications into design documentation.

What does an assessment tool for CPPBDN5108 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPBDN5108 needs to address all 25 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 CPPBDN5108?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPBDN5108 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 CPPBDN5108 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPBDN5108 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 CPPBDN5108, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
