Identify materials, construction techniques and methods used in building interiors

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in interior decoration businesses of all sizes. The ability to demonstrate knowledge of the materials and methods associated with the construction of residential buildings must be shown.

This unit requires employability skills in communication and planning and organising to access and interpret information using a range of information sources. Self management and learning skills are applied in the review of information to ensure building processes are correctly identified.

This unit deals with the skills and knowledge required to research and document the materials, construction techniques and methods associated with the construction of residential buildings.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Access and interpret information about building materials and processes

Identify key elements and participants in the building process

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to identifying materials, techniques and methods used in building interiors

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

the ability to analyse given situations, and determine materials used and construction methods and techniques

presenting findings in a creative and convincing format

reading, interpreting and following information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

carrying out work according to OHS practices

Required knowledge

State or Territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for identifying building materials and methods

organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for identifying building materials and methods

relevant Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia

awareness of different forms of construction

local environmental plans and relevant building authorities

basic building and architectural terminology

common structural and non-structural components of a residential building

geographical implications of a building site/location

materials and methods involved in the refurbishment of a wet area

materials and methods involved in the construction and installation of contemporary built-in cabinetry

equipment involved in the installation of home theatre systems

climate control devices including fans, heaters and air conditioners

research techniques

demolition methods

trades, construction techniques and materials associated with each stage

residential building process

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Set of documents

may include but not be limited to drawings, plans, schedules, specifications and bill of quantities

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
