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 context includes:

work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes, and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving that involves interpretation of information on cabinet construction and installation methods by those working in design and technical advisory roles in the kitchen and bathroom industry

information may be used to provide advice to customers, confirm orders or inform design or product selection

Methods used to install cabinets may include:

use of screws, fixtures and patented devices

use of adhesives, clips and fasteners

use of sealants

use of installation sequences

Site analysis may include:

location of services

measurements and dimensions

flooring and wall construction

materials and finishes impacting on installation

structural features that impact on installation

data cabling

Expertise and skills engaged in installation may include:

measurement

quality checking

assembly

use of hand and power tools

modifying and adjusting cabinets

working with other tradespeople

Other considerations in cabinet installation may include:

installation requirements of appliances

waterproofing considerations

sequence of installation

design modifications

translation of design details into technical specifications

Implications of appliances may include:

requirements for changes to cabinet or design due to sizing or placement requirements

compliance issues

location and access

Implications of services may include:

requirements for changes to cabinet or design due to placement

compliance issues

location and access

Requirements for ordering cabinets may include:

measurements and dimensions

colour

product codes and specifications

timelines

delivery details

Performance Evidence

Access and interpret product information to determine limitations and benefits of different methods used in the construction and installation of cabinets and the implications for design

Determine the impact of site conditions and limitations on cabinet design and features

Identify cabinet construction and assembly techniques and installation methods for a range of fabrication and installation jobs

Identify requirements for sourcing and ordering cabinets and components to meet design specifications and and installation methods to be used including timelines for completion and delivery processes

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
