Element	Performance criteria
1. Apply structural principles to the planning of the erection and/or demolition of a structure	1.1 Main structural principles that apply to the erection or demolition of a low-rise commercial structure are identified 1.2 Structural performance of a structure is described in terms of the effect of the section properties of various materials and their related construction methods 1.3 Structural performance characteristics of slabs, beams, columns and retaining walls are explained and applied to the planning of the construction work 1.4 Demolition of existing structures is coordinated in accordance with legislative and planning requirements and safe work practices
2. Analyse and plan for the structural integrity of class 2 to 9 buildings	2.1 Relevant industry professionals are consulted asrequired to provide advice regarding the design process and the structural integrity of the proposed commercial low-rise building 2.2 Collect and analyse project documentation to assist in the analysis of the plans and specifications 2.3 Project documentation is analysed for conformance with the BCA requirements for bushfire, high wind, earth quake and alpine environments 2.4 New and emerging building technologies are assessed for application to the construction process and their conformance with the requirements of the BCA and Australian standards 2.5 Pre-commencement site inspection is conducted to confirm analysis
3. Plan, co-ordinate and manage the laying of footing systems	3.1 Footing systems are set out in accordance with the building plans 3.2 Structural integrity of the footings specified in the building plan is assessed for compliance with relevant codes and accepted industry construction principles 3.3 Footings, as specified in the building plan, are laid and checked for conformance with project documentation 3.4 Damp coursing and the provision of termite barriers and other relevant techniques are planned, implemented and checked in accordance with codes, standards and industry practice
4. Plan, coordinate and manage the laying of the floor system	4.1 Floor system components specified in the building plan are assessed for structural integrity and compliance with relevant codes and accepted industry construction principles 4.2 Laying of the structural floor system, as specified in the building plan, is supervised and checked for conformance with project documentation
5. Plan, coordinate and manage the structural wall systems and wall cladding systems	5.1 Technical construction principles and performance characteristics of structural wall systems and wall cladding systems are identified and analysed in the planning of the building and construction project 5.2 Processes for the erection of the wall systems and wall cladding systems are identified, implemented and checked for conformance with relevant Australian standards and codes, and manufacturer specifications 5.3 Building plans and relevant codes and standards are identified and implemented to ensure appropriate allowances have been made for relevant services to be installed 5.4 Windows and external doors are installed in accordance with relevant codes, manufacturer specifications and accepted industry construction principles
6. Plan, coordinate and manage the building of the structural roof system and roof cladding system	6.1 Structural integrity of the structural roof system and roof cladding system components specified in the building plan is assessed for compliance with relevant codes and accepted industry construction principles 6.2 Construction of the Building and construction/Roof_systemroof system]] and roof cladding system, including details of service penetrations, skylights and roof ventilators, is planned, implemented and checked in accordance with the building plan's requirements, the type of roof being constructed and the relevant codes and accepted industry construction principles 6.3 Processes are put in place and managed to ensure the quality of the finished roof system
