Assemble and install shopfront structures

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to assemble and install the internal and external prefabricated components, sections and fittings, which form the bulkheads and shopfront structure opening on to a street or shopping centre walkway. It covers the on-site checking and preparing of the shopfront opening of a new shop or after demolition; removal of an old shopfront; and assembling sections that are delivered disassembled – lifting, placing and fixing the components into position.

The unit supports shopfitters responsible for installing shopfronts. The work is completed on site concurrently with other shopfitting work and must be scheduled to accommodate both client requirements, where the shop is operational, and the requirements of other shopfitters and associated contractors.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency in some States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
