identify details and specifications of nominated shopfronts to be set out

accurately apply tools and equipment to set out and mark location of frame material thickness and components

during a site measure, accurately use measuring devices to read and record dimensions, plumb and level

from site measurement data, identify inconsistencies in dimensions, plumb and level recorded for notification to appropriate personnel

identify and select prepared materials for components

safely and accurately prepare each component for assembly

select and use appropriate processes, tools and equipment for assembling components

safely and efficiently use tools and equipment

safely and efficiently assemble components to form framework for shopfront

accurately fit component fittings to locations

complete assembly free of scratches, dents and blemishes

safely and efficiently disassemble components and fittings, identify for delivery, and include assembling instructions

identify typical faults and problems that occur and action required to rectify them

communicate with others to ensure safe and effective workshop operations.
