Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine cabinetry requirements, develop custom design options and specify requirements to inform production and installation. Ancillary cabinetry is cabinetry outside of kitchen, bathroom and laundry applications.
This unit applies to interior designers, including kitchen and bathroom designers. They analyse varied information to develop design solutions.
Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking kitchen and bathroom work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
