Site Establishment: Footings and Framework 5th Edition by Adrian Laws
Quick Navigation

Overview

Site Establishment, Footings and Framework is designed to provide learners in Certificate III in Carpentry qualification (CPC30220) with a resource to complement their onsite learning experiences. Each chapter deals with the main events involved in the process of taking a vacant site through to the completed building, heavily referencing Australian standards, codes and guides. This bestselling title is built for learning with colour photographs and illustrations with concepts explained in context to help student understanding. Work Health and Safety (WHS) icons identify critical points for concern, and learning tasks at the end of every key topic help students apply the knowledge and skills. The worksheets at the end of each chapter are aligned to the Unit of Competency and are a resource for trainers to provide formative assessment and feedback on learner progression. Students may also use the assessment material at the end of each chapter as a record of their learning achievements.

Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform. Learn more about the online tools cengage.com.au/mindtap
