List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. Itemise materials | 1.1 Obtain and interpret production specifications to determine material types and job costing requirements. 1.2 Identify components to be listed; integrate general detailing and dimensioning systems. 1.3 Prepare tables for listing, list and categorise items in line with industry standards. 1.4 Complete itemised list of all materials in line with order requirements and organisational procedures. 1.5 Select common industry materials where no specific information is provided and material is not critical to design. |
2. Detail material sizes and quantities | 2.1 Calculate, scale or extract physical dimensions for components from tables in line with order requirements. 2.2 Estimate material quantities and express as industry standard lengths or sheet sizes, allowing for wastage. 2.3 Accumulate multiple requirements for identical material and document total quantities. 2.4 Complete and maintain detailed notes and records of material usage, and cutting and machining requirements. |
3. Calculate quantities and prices | 3.1 Calculate and document total requirements for each line item in take-off. 3.2 Express quantities in measurement units that match item type, order and production requirements. 3.3 Calculate total order costs from item rate. 3.4 Complete and maintain accurate records of pricing in line with organisational requirements. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. If a specific volume or frequency is not stated below, then evidence must be provided that the following requirements have been performed on at least one occasion:
determine final material quantities and pricing from at least two original designs in line with an individual set of specifications for each job
for each of the above jobs, complete and maintain accurate records of all calculations, material quantities, usage and pricing.
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
typical categories of different timber based construction materials listed in itemised tables and applicable terminology
range of industry standard lengths and sheet sizes and applicable terminology
methods used to calculate:
wastage
lineal metres
cubic metres
unit numbers
industry and specific organisational:
quantifying processes
sources of costs for materials
formats for tables for listing and categorising materials
organisational procedures for preparing and documenting material quantities and pricing.
The following resources must be made available:
computers, keyboards and printers
industry current software programs used to determine final material quantities and pricing from estimates
initial designs and production specifications on which to base final material requirements and prices:
sketches, drawings and notes
components lists
dimensional and detailing data
customer requirements
in-house material price lists, product description sheets or manuals; either electronic or hard copy
template tables for listing and categorising materials
organisational procedures for preparing and documenting material quantities and pricing:
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must:
hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and
be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
