Check and measure fit of cabinets

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit applies to work conducted by on-site installers of cabinets in kitchens, bathrooms and other ancillary areas in residential situations.

Cabinets may be custom made or mass manufactured and include complete components such as doors, shelves and drawers.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to take measurements on-site and check cabinetry to ensure accurate fit. It requires assessment of levels and squareness of walls and floors and other structural components to determine adjustments required on cabinets to ensure exact fit.

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

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

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

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

Identify and measure structural aspects that impact on cabinet construction and installation

Complete detailed documentation to inform installation

Identify inconsistencies in measurements

Take and record accurate measurements

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

tools required for measurement

plans, drawings and manuals relating to project

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 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

Language and literacy to the level of interpreting workplace documents and technical information

Numeracy skills to the level of conducting accurate measurements, estimating quantities and interpreting drawings

Assessing quality standards

Using measurement tools

Levelling

Observation

Documentation skills

Applying safety procedures

Required knowledge

Processes used for the construction of cabinets

Features of cabinets and components used in kitchen and bathroom projects

State or Territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to on-site work

The role of Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia

Characteristics of materials, products and defects

Procedures for documenting workplace records and information

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

Problem identification and resolution techniques

Basic building and architectural terminology

Common structural and non-structural components of a residential building

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.

Measuring devices

Measuring devices may include but are not limited to:

tape measures

laser beams

angle readers

rulers

Other structural aspects

Other structural aspects may include but are not limited to:

structural damage

finish

ledges

skirting boards

service outlets

vents

gas, data, communications, air extraction and conditioning and vents

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.
