CPCSHP3009 Demolish shopfronts and bulkheads

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to demolish sections of existing shop buildings and to dispose of demolished materials and waste. It includes completing the required demolition work to schedule and following specific plans and specifications.

It applies to shopfitters who demolish old shop building components to make alterations, extensions and additions to the shop. Work may be completed onsite concurrently with other shopfitting work that must be scheduled to accommodate client requirements, the shop when it is operational, and the requirements of other shopfitters and associated contractors.

This demolition work is limited to non-load-bearing shop building structures, including:

• external walls and cladding
• suspended ceiling structures
• shopfronts and glazed sections
• joinery and fixtures
• high level bulkheads.

Individuals at this level take responsibility for organising and completing these tasks with a high degree of self-direction.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit of competency in some states and territories. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
