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. Interpret plans and designs | 1.1 Gather information about designs and plans, design factors and specifications. 1.2 Access and interpret industry and organisational codes and standards to ensure production of compliant drawings and production documents. 1.3 Identify stakeholders and consult where clarification is needed. |
2. Create floor systems | 2.1 Design floor systems to ensure compliance with identified standards. 2.2 Check computer software for currency. 2.3 Input applied loads and data to software. 2.4 Identify load transfers and load bearing points. 2.5 Input floor area and create floor systems layout. 2.6 Refer design requirements outside software limitations to appropriate personnel for resolution. |
3. Review floor system layouts | 3.1 Identify available materials and other production efficiencies and amend designs. 3.2 Review designs to ensure identified standards are maintained. 3.3 Follow organisational procedures to refer design variations to relevant stakeholders where design varies from identified standards. |
4. Create outputs | 4.1 Prepare drawings and documentation in line with identified standards. 4.2 Store drawings and documentation and communicate to relevant stakeholders. |
