Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Obtain measurements
  2. Draw site layout

Range Statement

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Unit scope includes:

measurement and drawing of site layout related to the manufacture and installation of furniture, cabinets, glass, soft furnishings, upholstery, picture framing and floor covering products

Drawing include:

manual or computer-aided

Measurements:

are to be in metric scale, cover all dimensions of the site and furnishings and involve the use of:

rulers

tape measures

squares

service detectors

laser or equivalent technology

Critical dimensions that may impact on manufacture and installation include:

the square of the structure

angles of floor to walls

walls to ceiling

vertical walls

horizontal floor and ceiling

service locations and critical structural criteria

Calculations include:

area

perimeter

volume

mass

scales and ratios (ingredients/elements and triangulation) and require the application of addition

subtraction

multiplication and division processes

calculations are to be performed both manually and with the aid of a calculator
