Smartroof collaborates with CITB and NOCN Group to develop new NVQ

 

This new qualification is a first for the building industry and has been in development for over 14 months. It is another milestone for Smartroof, an innovative, customer-focused and progressive company that strives to improve the service it provides to the housebuilder.

The proposed NVQ is designed for the purpose of helping workers to be competent when working with newer installation methods! Timber frame installers need the essential practical skills and knowledge to carry out pre-assembled roof structure installations. Currently, there is a skills gap between those who already work in the sector and those unfamiliar with the newest methods of pre-assembled installations. That is why the Construction Industry Training Board are suggesting implementing a new National Vocational Qualification!

A new structure for the NVQ was proposed that included the following mandatory units:

  • Erecting roof structure carcassing components in the workplace
  • Slinging and hand signalling the movement of suspended loads in the workplace
  • Conforming to general health, safety and welfare in the workplace
  • Conforming to productive working practices in the workplace
  • Moving and handling resources in the workplace
  • Erecting timber roof structures in the workplace
