Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to calculate costs for a design project and prepare formal quotation and contract documentation for client agreement. This unit includes evaluation of costing options and presentation of documentation to client.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify costs involved in producing design
- 1.1. Design brief is reviewed to confirm required outcomes and inclusions and any other client requirements
- 1.2. Measurements and quantities are confirmed
- 1.3. Specification schedule is developed to itemise all inclusions
- 1.4. Labour resources and suppliers are identified and role in design implementation confirmed
2. Calculate project costs
- 2.1. Costs of materials, components and finishes are calculated
- 2.2. Labour costs, including design fees are calculated
- 2.3. Overheads and hidden costs are calculated
- 2.4. Costs of required plant and equipment are calculated
- 2.5. Supplier prices are compared to ensure most cost effective solutions
- 2.6. Options for reducing costs are identified
3. Prepare and present cost quotation
- 3.1. Costs are itemised and detailed on documentation according to industry standards
- 3.2. Additional information and samples are prepared as required to support quotation
- 3.3. Quote is presented to the client and details and costing options discussed to confirm all items documented
- 3.4. Quote is modified and finalised according to client response
- 3.5. Client agreement to the quote is obtained and documented
4. Prepare and present contract documentation
- 4.1. Inclusions, costs and parameters of the design are noted in the contract documents
- 4.2. Contract is prepared according to industry standards and presented and explained to client

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Interpret and analyse design brief
Itemise inclusions and resources required for project implementation
Calculate costs for all components
Research information on prices and suppliers
Produce a quote that documents all costs
Complete contract documentation
Present quote and contract to client in a manner that informs the client of their choices and the details of the inclusions
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
work related information resources
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application
Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
