Building Construction Curriculum Overview
This course is very practical and covers four main areas. Foundations of Building Construction introduces students to different types of buildings and how to prepare a site before building starts. Related Drawing is where students learn to use CAD software and draw technical plans, which is a key skill for any builder. The Building Construction Processes strand is the ‘hands-on’ part where you teach masonry, mixing concrete, and building walls. Lastly, Building Services covers the basics of plumbing, including how to join and bend pipes. Students will learn not just how to build, but also how to follow safety rules and building codes. This curriculum is designed to give students the skills they need to start working or go for further technical training in construction.
Implementation and Grading Tips
The best way to teach this is through workshop practice and visits to real construction sites. Use the KICD curriculum designs to ensure you are teaching the latest industry methods safely. When it comes to grading, KNEC suggests using practical projects and technical drawings as the main way to see if a student has learned the skill. Keep a portfolio of each student’s work, like their drawings and small building projects. This evidence is very important for your TSC appraisals and helps show the progress each learner is making.
