Qualification -
Unit of Competency LMFKB4008A - Determine layout for laundry components
Description This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to design and document the layout for a laundry, including placement of components such as cabinets, appliances and required laundry facilities. It requires an application of design principles to spatial considerations for a laundry.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency applies to residential laundry design and may include the positioning of services and appliances and desired locations for plumbing and electrical outlets. The unit does not include designing any changes to plumbing, electrical or waterproofing, other than the location of required service.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Confirm and analyse the laundry design requirements
  • Communication is established with the client and information regarding the client needs and expectations is obtained
  • Key requirements for laundry are assessed and confirmed and constraints determined
  • Project parameters are confirmed
  • Site analysis is conducted to assess laundry design requirements and limitations
  • Spatial considerations are determined specific to the site and client requirements
       
Element: Examine layout options
  • Location of current services are identified
  • Components for inclusion in laundry are identified
  • Range of layout options and traffic flow implications are examined
  • Suitability of layout options for space is analysed and limitations and benefits determined
  • Environmental implications of the layout are assessed and options reviewed to ensure maximum energy efficiency is achieved
  • Access issues relating the laundry are identified and addressed in layout options
       
Element: Select and specify laundry layout
  • Layout options are discussed with client and preferences selected
  • Required changes to service outlets and waterproofing are identified
  • Regulatory requirements relating to laundries are assessed to determine compliance
  • Laundry layout and components are documented with specifications detailed
  • Cost estimate is calculated and provided for client
  • Proposal is communicated effectively to the client and alterations negotiated and confirmed
       


Evidence Required

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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Work with the client to develop and confirm a laundry design brief

Apply spatial considerations to laundry design

Develop laundry layout to meet client brief

Apply regulatory considerations for laundry designs

Document laundry design in drawings and specifications

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

work tools and equipment

work related information resources

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Accessing and interpreting workplace information

Applying safety procedures

Communicating with clients

Generating ideas

Analysing

Measuring and calculating

Costing and associated calculations

Negotiation skills

State or territory occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to laundry designs

Characteristics of storage, appliance and service options

Spatial planning considerations for laundry designs

Information resources

Drawing protocols and symbols

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Key requirements

Key requirements may include:

functional requirements

colour, style and form preferences

inclusions

budget

timelines

desired effects

materials, component and finishes

quality

specific conditions

Project parameters

Project parameters may include:

upper and lower budget limits

range of options

specific conditions

scope of brief

approval to make changes

design effect required by client

functionality (short and long term)

established timelines

Site analysis

Site analysis may include:

identifying current laundry features and services

measuring laundry dimensions and features

identifying structural conditions and features of current laundry layout or which require building or engineering advice in a new laundry design

observing current inclusions and appliances

Spatial considerations

Spatial considerations may include:

location and capacity of services

requirements of laundry appliances

usage and traffic flows typical to a laundry

laundry storage requirements

specific ergonomic or access requirements

Components

Components may include:

photos

brochures

computer-aided design presentations

Specifications

Specifications may include:

measurements and dimensions

fixtures and fittings

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
