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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
| |
1 | Undertake on-site measurements. | 1.1 | Job requirements are obtained, confirmed and applied to planning. |
| 1.2 | Site drawings are assessed and site is accessed according to client and workplace requirements. |
| 1.3 | Datums and gridlines or reference points are located and confirmed using site plans and levelling techniques. |
| 1.4 | Surrounding structures and surfaces are checked for plumb, level, line and square. |
| 1.5 | Measurements are taken of internal width and height, if applicable, and are recorded. |
| 1.6 | Inconsistencies in dimensions, layout or location of structure outside the specified tolerances are noted and reported to appropriate personnel. |
| 1.7 | Position of proposed frames and fittings are marked out on surrounding surfaces using non-permanent markers. |
| 1.8 | Glazier is notified of site measurements for glass. |
2 | Plan and prepare to produce shopfront structure. | 2.1 | Off-site work area is inspected, conditions and hazards are identified and reported as required, and health and safety requirements are confirmed with relevant personnel and applied to planning. |
| 2.2 | Detailed working drawings are prepared from design drawings according to workplace procedures. |
| 2.3 | Tools and equipment are selected to carry out tasks according to job requirements, checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified or reported before starting work. |
| 2.4 | Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, efficient cutting plan and list are prepared, and quantity requirements calculated according to job requirements. |
| 2.5 | Materials are obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use. |
| 2.6 | Components are set out according to workplace procedures. |
3 | Fabricate components of shopfront structure. | 3.1 | Static machines are used to produce specified component parts according to job requirements. |
| 3.2 | CNC machine is programmed to produce specified component parts according to manufacturer specifications. |
| 3.3 | CNC machine program operations are tested in dry run simulation mode, and alarm settings and program are edited where required using the control station. |
| 3.4 | Specified work pieces are produced using CNC machine automatic mode according to manufacturer specifications. |
| 3.5 | Where required, straight or curved lines are cut in small sections of glass according to job specifications. |
| 3.6 | Components parts are checked for correct measurements and compliance with quality requirements according to workplace procedures. |
4 | Assemble components of shopfront structure. | 4.1 | Appropriate area is selected and material components are laid out for assembly. |
| 4.2 | Framework is assembled, with overall dimension checked for conformity to location and design, and using appropriate fixings and fasteners. |
| 4.3 | Frame is checked for square and adjusted where required. |
| 4.4 | Areas are laminated where required and fittings are fixed to components according to job requirements. |
5 | Prepare for transport to work site. | 5.1 | Shopfront components that are too large for transport to work site or too heavy for safe lifting are disassembled into smaller sections. |
| 5.2 | Packaging requirements for separate components and sections are identified and arranged. |
| 5.3 | Components and sections are labelled and placed in appropriate area of work site for collection. |
| 5.4 | Assembly diagram is numbered and located for inclusion in delivery instructions. |
6 | Clean up. | 6.1 | Waste and unwanted material are disposed of safely. |
| 6.2 | Unused materials are stored or stacked. |
| 6.3 | Tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace requirements. |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must fabricate and assemble all components for two commercial shopfronts, each of a minimum size of 4000 by 3600 mm.
The frontage must include the entry, bulkheads and component fittings and must be constructed using the following materials: aluminium, glass timber and at least one special finish.
In doing the above work, the person must:

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.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
content of and terms and symbols used in shopfront design drawings
contents of and terms used in job safety analyses (JSA) and safe work method statements (SWMS) for tasks
