Description
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to construct prototypes and samples in a production setting, in line with established plans, drawings or other specifications for the purpose of testing the viability of construction methods. Work involves making recommendations for changing designs and methods of construction.The unit applies to timber fabricators, supervisors and designers of timber structures, including timber trusses and framesNo licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for construction
  • 1.1 Review prototype or sample purpose, work order and construction plans and where required clarify requirements with appropriate personnel.
  • 1.2 Obtain type and quantity of material to be assembled and hardware in line with prototype construction plan and specifications.
  • 1.3 Select appropriate tools and equipment and check for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations.
  • 1.4 Plan and document stages of the construction process.
2. Set up components
  • 2.1 Follow workplace health and safety procedures throughout production activities.
  • 2.2 Select and prepare set-up jigs required for construction.
  • 2.3 Select timber components, check for compatibility with specifications and cut in line with the prototype or sample plans.
  • 2.4 Position and clamp components in jigs ready for joining with allowable faults, joins and grain in line with construction standards and grading rules.
  • 2.5 Identify defective components, incorrect timber cuts and off-cuts; dispose of or recycle in line with environmental protection practices.
  • 2.6 Staple components to maintain temporary alignment during assembly.
3. Construct and review prototypes and samples
  • 3.1 Follow construction plan throughout assembly and conduct checks at designated points.
  • 3.2 Position and install hardware on joints to prototype specifications.
  • 3.3 Nail or staple temporary bracing to product in line with construction standards.
  • 3.4 Identify required modifications to designs and plans; document and follow recommended changes.
  • 3.5 Correct construction faults in line with recommendations.
  • 3.6 Review prototype or sample for effectiveness of purpose and efficiency of construction methods.
  • 3.7 Record prototype or sample construction processes, problems and recommendations for change and report to appropriate personnel.
  • 3.8 Store temporary bracing, prototypes and samples; dispose of when not required in line with environmental protection practices.
