Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret the set design and develop practical construction plans and specifications to meet design requirements for a complete set. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
Senior or experienced set builders apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. In this role they are responsible for liaising with workshop managers and designers and could be supervising others. This unit also has linkages to other set construction units and combined assessment and/or training in conjunction with those units may be appropriate. |

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Interpret the set design from a construction perspective |
1.1. Read and interpret the set design and other production documentation to determine the scope and nature of set elements and devices that need to be constructed 1.2. Contemplate and consider set construction methods and techniques which will lead to the best visual realisation of the design concept while meeting production budgets 1.3. Identify potential practical construction problems and limitations with proposed designs and communicate these to relevant personnel 1.4. Assess potential solutions and develop creative approaches to minimise problems and limitations 1.5. Liaise with design and other relevant personnel to discuss and confirm construction requirements |
2. Develop set construction plans and drawings |
2.1. Translate the set design into a practical plan for set construction in accordance with production requirements and relevant codes and regulations 2.2. Ensure that set construction meets aesthetic requirements and provides the correct visual interpretation of the production requirements 2.3. Identify and consider any specific production or performance issues that will impact on the nature of set construction 2.4. Identify and consider any safety issues that will need to be integrated into the construction process 2.5. Complete accurate specifications and drawings to a level of detail sufficient to guide the construction process 2.6. Correctly identify the materials , tools and equipment required for set construction, including budgetary estimates to meet production requirements 2.7. Communicate practical details for set construction to appropriate personnel at the appropriate time to ensure deadlines can be met and workflow efficiency is maximised |
