Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to take measurements on-site and check cabinetry to ensure accurate fit. It requires assessment of levels and squareness of walls and floors and other structural components to determine adjustments required on cabinets to ensure exact fit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Conduct site measurements
- 1.1. Obtain access to site according to project guidelines and occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures
- 1.2. Select measuring devices and prepare for use
- 1.3. Conduct site measurements and record according to industry standards
- 1.4. Determine levels and squareness of walls and floor
- 1.5. Measure and record other structural aspects of site that impact on installation
2. Assess measurements against cabinet dimensions
- 2.1. Determine cabinet dimensions from cabinet or construction plans
- 2.2. Check site measurements and identify discrepancies from cabinet installation requirements
3. Identify required adjustments
- 3.1. Calculate adjustments required to ensure proper installation
- 3.2. Mark up cabinets and walls or floor to inform required adjustments
- 3.3. Complete workplace documentation
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Measuring devices
Measuring devices may include but are not limited to:
tape measures
laser beams
angle readers
rulers
Other structural aspects
Other structural aspects may include but are not limited to:
structural damage
finish
ledges
skirting boards
service outlets
vents
gas, data, communications, air extraction and conditioning and vents

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
Identify and measure structural aspects that impact on cabinet construction and installation
Complete detailed documentation to inform installation
Identify inconsistencies in measurements
Take and record accurate measurements
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
tools required for measurement
plans, drawings and manuals relating to project
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
