But that doesn't mean that when you get to the jobsite the floors and walls will be the same!

In older buildings the variations may be more exaggerated, because some parts are likely to have 'settled' more than others over the years, resulting in deviations in floor levels and wall angles.

We'll also cover the main pieces of equipment that installers use when checking measurements and levels.

Audio 6 (mp3 |6|KB)There are two sections in this unit:
- Checking measurements
- Using measuring devices
Each section contains an Overview, an Assignment, and Lessons which cover the content material. The links to these pages will appear in the side menu bar when you select the main link for that section.
Practical demonstration
Your final assessment of competency in this unit will include demonstrations of your ability to put your knowledge into practice and physically carry out the process of checking the measure and fit of cabinets. To help you get ready for these hands-on assessment activities, have a look at the Practical demonstration checklist by clicking on the link below:
Practical demonstration checklist
The checklist sets out the sorts of things your trainer will be looking for when you undertake the practical demonstrations. Make sure you talk to your trainer or supervisor about any of the details that you don't understand, or aren't ready to demonstrate, before the assessment event is organised. This will give you time to get the hang of the tasks you will need to perform, so that you'll feel more confident when the time comes to be assessed. When you are able to tick all of the YES boxes in the checklist you will be ready to carry out the practical demonstration component of this unit.
