| 1.3 | Identify the benefits and disadvantages of a range of kitchen or bathroom components, such as overhead cabinets |
| 1.4 | Identify two basic bathroom or kitchen layouts and the most common application for each |
| 1.5 | Record results in accordance with procedures |
2 | Develop a design for a kitchen or bathroom | 2.1 | Determine the functionality of the kitchen or bathroom from client brief and/or work instructions |
| 2.2 | Select the most appropriate layouts to satisfy the client brief/work instructions |
| 2.3 | Select the major kitchen or bathroom components to meet specifications and requirements |
| 2.4 | Identify the basic functional zones and work flows required in a kitchen or a bathroom, to create a design to maximise efficiency |
| 2.5 | Design a basic bathroom or kitchen to suit requirements |
| 2.6 | Confirm design proposals with appropriate personnel |
| 2.7 | Sketch preliminary views of a kitchen or bathroom, including dimensions to assist in development of final drawings |
3 | Create kitchen or bathroom drawings | 3.1 | Using either computer-aided design (CAD) systems, hand drawing equipment or freehand sketches, draw up a basic bathroom or a kitchen with at least six (6) cabinets |
| 3.2 | Review drawings with appropriate personnel to ensure they fit the client requirements and brief |

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include:
following work instructions, procedures and safe work practices
identifying and interpreting client brief, project sheets, specifications and other relevant information in researching and drawing a basic kitchen or bathroom design
using manufacturer catalogues and computer operations for internet access and searches
interpreting the principles of the ‘work triangle’ and how it is applied in kitchen design
OR
interpreting the principal of functional zones and traffic flows in a bathroom.
giving examples of good and bad designs of a ‘work triangle’ or bathroom zones
producing a drawing of the following:
a kitchen with at least six (6) cabinets; or
a basic bathroom with a minimum of four (4) components
confirming drawing fits client requirements and brief with appropriate personnel
modifying drawing as required
communicating and working effectively and safely with others
maintaining accurate records.
Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures in a furniture making environment and use of PPE
sources of information on kitchen or bathroom components, including catalogues and internet sites
benefits and disadvantages of overhead cabinets
‘work triangle’ concept and how it is applied in kitchen design – note that no leg of the triangle should be less than 1.2 m or more than 2.7 m. The sum of all these sides of the triangle should be between 4 m and 7.9 m.
OR
concept of bathroom zones and how they apply to bathroom design

Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in researching and drawing basic designed for kitchens or bathrooms at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience
Assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic workplace situations.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required to complete the unit.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
