Performance Evidence

Engage customers to confirm cabinet requirements, including identifying all features required

Advise customers on the characteristics, benefits and limitations of various cabinet design features that suit their needs

Using customer feedback develop design solutions to meet their cabinet requirements

Use technical information to inform and cost a cabinet design to suit customer needs, document the final design, confirm with the customer and complete an order

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
