| | 1.7 | All required information is accessed and interpreted to inform the design process |
2 | Conduct project research | 2.1 | Site analysis is conducted to assess the requirements of the space requiring work |
| | 2.2 | Intended function of the space is ascertained from the client |
| | 2.3 | Contextual information relating to the brief is researched and evaluated |
| | 2.4 | Functional and planning issues are determined specific to the site and client requirements |
| | 2.5 | Research material is organised and presented in the form of a design proposal |
| | 2.6 | Project is planned to make effective use of time and available resources |
3 | Develop design concepts | 3.1 | Multiple ideas and concepts are generated in a creative and diverse manner that is sympathetic to the design brief |
| | 3.2 | Concepts are presented through appropriate presentation methods |
| | 3.3 | Viability of concepts are assessed in conjunction with others |
| | 3.4 | Environmental implications of the project are assessed and design concepts reviewed to ensure maximum energy efficiency achieved in solution |
| | 3.5 | Access issues relating the project are identified and addressed in design solution |
4 | Design the space | 4.1 | Ideas are translated into 3-D space satisfying functional criteria |
| | 4.2 | Evidence of 3-D notions are explored through modelling |
| | 4.3 | The arrangement and allocation of space is explored to express the concept |
| | 4.4 | Idea with the greatest potential for success is presented to promote the design's acceptance using both 2-D and 3-D representations |
| | 4.5 | Client feedback is sought, amendments are agreed to and recorded, and ideas are revised and refined |
| | 4.6 | A colour and materials palette is selected to enhance spatial ideas |
| | 4.7 | Design is modified in response to critical feedback without losing integrity of the design intention |
5 | Revise and refine solution | 5.1 | Ergonomic and anthropometric principles are assessed in respect to the space and the intended products |
| | 5.2 | Spatial planning is further revised and resolved in response to client feedback |
| | 5.3 | Materials, colours, furniture, finishes, fixtures and fittings are selected appropriate to the concept and brief parameters |
| | 5.4 | Feedback is received through consultation with the client and incorporated into design solution |
6 | Prepare a fully rendered client presentation | 6.1 | Resource requirements are identified for presentation |
| 6.2 | Final design solution is communicated effectively and creatively using a range of techniques and media |
| | 6.3 | Documentation drawings and material selections are prepared that are consistent with, and that best communicate, the design intent |
| | 6.4 | Work is completed to plan and within brief constraints |
| | 6.5 | Client feedback and response are analysed to determine success in achieving client satisfaction |
| | 6.6 | Own performance in the design process is examined to identify strengths and weaknesses |
| | 6.7 | Areas for improvement are identified |
Interpret work orders and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Design for at least two (2) residential interiors to provide the client with creative solutions that satisfy the design brief effectively applying design elements and principles
Draw using manual and computer based techniques
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area/volume and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, presentation of design/colour concepts, the reporting of work outcomes and problems
Initiate new ideas and work techniques
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for designing for residential space
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for designing for residential space
Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia (BCA) relating to interior residential design
Environmental protection requirements relating to interior residential design
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant design problem identification and resolution
Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
Creativity and artistic relevance
Ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values
Types of equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Relevant computer programs
Design themes and design development
Colours, furnishings and decorations
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to materials, equipment and specifications relevant to designing for residential interiors.
