Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to conduct onsite assessment of spatial and other requirements for the installation of fitted cabinetry. This includes assessment of overall site, walls, floors, appliances, services and other structural components in addition to taking detailed and precise measurements. Cabinetry may be custom-made or mass manufactured.Cabinet installers with this competency follow procedures, using discretion, judgement and problem solving to identify and resolve potential installation issues. Installers may or may not be involved in the actual construction of cabinetry.Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking kitchen and bathroom work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
