element 3
Define spaces in which process elements will be undertaken.
performance criteria
3.1
Investigation identifies structural characteristics required for space to be
developed for each process element.
Range:
3.2
Investigation identifies surface finish characteristics required for each process
element space to be developed.
Range:
3.3
washable, chemical resistance, abrasion and wear resistance,
non-slip, free-draining, light or dark, reflective or absorbent, impact
resistance, heat and fire resistance.
Services to be provided for each process activity area are identified from a
given range, and the location of each service designated to meet activity
requirements.
Range:
3.4
area, height, floor loads, clear space needs, capacity to suspend
loads from structure, open or closed space, secure space,
controlled environment space, natural light.
water, temperature control, artificial light, ventilation, full
environmental control, electrical supply and outlets, compressed
air, fuel supply and storage, fire protection, drainage, chemical
storage and disposal.

element 4
Make layout, structural, finish, and service selections.
performance criteria
4.1
Evaluation of available options identifies those which meet the requirements of
layout, structural, finish, and service specifications.
4.2
Procedures used in selection of options for use evaluate key factors in addition
to specification conformity.
Range:
4.3
cost, availability, life, conformity with regulatory requirements,
conformity with health and safety requirements, conformity with

between parties involved, and facilitates completion of works by agreed dates.
5.3
Monitoring of facility commissioning ensures specified performance levels can
be met by all process elements.
5.4
Monitoring of facility commissioning assists relationships between parties
involved, and facilitates completion of commissioning by agreed dates.
