for the deaf the building class and locations\nrequiring either a VAD or pillow shaker were referenced to BCA Part D3 Table D3.1 Requirements for\naccess for people with disability,\n5.1 Assumptions:\n• The installation will be for new construction with the additional components required for the hearing\nimpaired to be installed simultaneously with the required system components.\n• Cost variance between smoke alarms required is based upon the standard smoke alarm being a\n230Vac model with replaceable battery and includes a 15% mark up by the contractor.\n• Labour Rate will be at the upper end of rates ($55 - $80) and will be $80.00 per hour.\n• Labour for preparation and fit out system components, including VADs, is 0.75 hours per unit.\n• For additional components, such as the VAD, 10m of additional cable has been added.\n Source: `strategies/Discussion-paper-ORR-Partners-DDA-measures-hearing-impaired.pdf

inspect building work to assess compliance with the building approval\n4. identify, resolve and report non-compliance with building laws and approvals\n5. issue certificates for inspected building work that identifies compliance or non-\ncompliance with building laws and approvals, and\n6. issue approval to occupy buildings or parts of buildings, with or without\nconditions.\n Source:

for completing an experience report\nFollowing are some tips to provide a clear, concise and accurate experience report\ndemonstrating the knowledge a candidate has applied in the course of their work.\n▪ Generally, each report should be no more than 2,000 words (excluding any\nattachments).\n▪ Ideally, the experience report should cover just one project, however multiple\nprojects may be included if the link is clear (e.g. similar issues, same building\npractitioners involved etc).\n▪ The reports should collectively cover all aspects of the knowledge referred to\nin Section 2.2.1.2.\n
