Definitions
Construction methodology refers to the planned method of construction, taking into
account all contractual and legal requirements, construction constraints, risks, and
opportunities. Methodology includes the temporary and permanent works and the
services required to complete the construction works.
Medium buildings are light to medium weight commercial or industrial buildings up to
three levels above ground which utilise commercial or industrial materials,
construction techniques, and services.
Pre-contract refers to activities before a contract is let for construction of the works.
Post-contract refers to activities after a contract is let for the construction of the
works.
Sustainability means the ability to complete building works using a minimum of the
earth’s resources, and having minimal negative effect on the environment.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, or
an inter-institutional body with delegated authority for quality assurance, before they can
report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading
to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Consent requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
