Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Conduct site measurements
   • Access to site is obtained according to project guidelines and work health and safety (WHS) procedures
   • Measuring devices are selected and prepared for use
   • Site measurements are made and recorded according to industry standards
   • Levels and squareness of walls and floor are established
   • Other structural aspects of site that impact on installation are measured and recorded
2. Assess measurements against cabinet dimensions
   • Cabinet dimensions are determined from cabinet or construction plans
   • Site measurements are checked to identify any discrepancies from cabinet installation requirements
3. Identify required adjustments
   • Adjustments are calculated to ensure proper installation
   • Cabinets and walls or floor are marked up to inform required adjustments
   • Workplace documentation is completed
