Case for change

Housing is the primary area in which timber trusses and frames are used. Given the continued increase in housing and multi-development construction activity these structural components are in increasing demand.

These are integral roles in the day-to-day operation of a building project, and yet much of the work to estimate and design timber trusses and frames is commissioned overseas. These roles could be performed more efficiently and with better communication if performed locally. However, improved career pathways are required to make them appealing. This could be supported by reviewing and streamlining the current qualifications and units to make prerequisites and assessments less restrictive.

The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) approved this project out of the Forest and Wood Products Industry Sector IRC Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work 2018-2021 (see pages 71-74).

Skills Impact and the Forest and Wood Products Industry Reference Committee (IRC) will manage this project, consistent with the 2012 Standards for Training Package Development.
