Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is not equivalent to MSFID5004 Specify structural elements, systems and services for interior spaces.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce commercial interior design project documentation using computer-aided design (CAD) programs. Project documentation covers researching, resolving and detailing through drawings, the materials, construction methods and building services associated with retail, hospitality, and workplace interior design projects. Designs may be for the fit-out of entire buildings or for tenancies within larger buildings, new or existing.

This unit applies to interior designers.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking interior decoration and design work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Performance Criteria 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

3. Prepare digital construction documentation

3.1 Develop accurate and fully dimensioned plans, sections and reflected ceiling plans with required annotations

3.2 Develop fully dimensioned and annotated details for material junctions, wall construction, ceiling elements

3.3 Identify services requirements and accurately integrate into documentation

3.4 Include all required information related to substrate, finish, junctions and fixings

3.5 Develop associated accurate, itemised specification notes and schedules in accordance with job requirements

3.6 Seek and incorporate client feedback on any design changes and on detail design development

4. Manage documentation package and quality control

4.1 Maintain current and accurate drawing register

4.2 Develop and implement coding and numbering system for drawings

4.3 Manage drawing amendments in accordance with agreed processes and procedures

4.4 Produce document package in required formats
