Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Select and adapt the design
  2. Select the timber
  3. Select the finishing technique and materials
  4. Finalise the job specification

Range Statement

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Unit context includes:

WHS requirements, including legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes, and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving

Timber flooring design includes:

the pattern, logo or motif that is being incorporated into the timber floor

Available custom designs include:

those created by others, including material providers, manufacturers and professional design outlets and made available through complementary or commercial means

Scale representations include:

the adaptation of the custom design to the specific dimensions of the intended flooring coverage and may be prepared manually or using computer-aided means

Timber options include:

those timbers which are within the cost envelope and are capable of being used to achieve the design requirements in terms of:

colour

texture

hardness

workability

compatibility

endurance

Job specification includes:

measurements

materials to be used

preparation and application processes/procedures to be followed

Effect of finishing materials include:

colour matching/contrast requirements as well as:

durability

moisture management

other protection control requirements

Effects of finishing techniques include:

the impact and effects of securing filling and sanding

Working drawings include:

drafted technical drawings

drawings produced on computer using computer-aided design (CAD) software packages

Material specifications include:

materials

construction methods and procedures

finishing methods and techniques

Performance Evidence

Interpret work order 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

Adapt a minimum of two (2) custom designs for timber flooring, including the preparation of detailed job specifications with:

one (1) for a strip floor

one (1) for a parquetry floor

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

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
