The standard covers the skills and knowledge required to provide estimates and carry out costing of materials.
This includes:
1. producing estimates
2. modifying designs
3. performing calculations
Outcomes
Performance Criteria
You must be able to:
1. comply with health, safety and environmental requirements, relevant statutory regulations and industry standards/codes of practice at all times
2. calculate costs showing the relationships between design features, measurements, dimensions and style/size following company procedures
3. calculate costs for specific design features and dimensions following company procedures
4. assess the requirements for the volume of materials required following company procedures
5. evaluate the use of different types of materials in the design to achieve best value following company procedures
6. evaluate the need for specific allowances for the different materials following company procedures
7. maximise or minimise features by modifying the design to achieve best value
8. produce estimates to standard operating procedures
9. carry out your work to the required quality and output to meet production schedules and targets
10. identify any problems and deal with them according to standard operating procedures
11. record information in the appropriate information systems
12. ensure compliance with relevant legal and safety requirements
Knowledge & Understanding
You need to know and understand:
1. relevant health, safety and environmental requirements, statutory regulations and industry standards/codes of practice that have to be complied with
2. calculations for specific design features and dimensions
3. costs for materials to be used
