What an assessment for MSFKB4010 must cover
69 assessable components: 7 elements (24 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 43 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 1 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Determine project requirements
- 1.1Establish communication with the client and obtain information regarding the client needs and expectations
- 1.2Determine design parameters and constraints based on client requirements and review of the site
- 1.3Take accurate site measurements and record and identify location of current services for impact on design
- 1.4Accurately document project requirements
2 Examine layout options
- 2.1Identify key use zones for bathrooms and determine prime activities and associated sanitaryware, fixtures and fittings in the context of the brief
- 2.2Identify traffic flow patterns and considerations for space based on client requirements
- 2.3Identify location of services and determine implications for relocation
- 2.4Identify the need or potential for structural change based on scope of the brief
- 2.5Analyse suitability of layout options for space and determine limitations and benefits based on information gathered
3 Determine storage options
- 3.1Identify storage requirements of bathrooms from brief and client information
- 3.2Examine storage options for suitability to bathroom spaces and determine implications for design
- 3.3Identify for design, dimensions and space requirements of standard and potential customised storage options
4 Assess bathroom ergonomic considerations
- 4.1Examine and use basic principles of ergonomics to determine space planning implications
- 4.2Identify requirements for working height based on specific client needs
- 4.3Identify manual handling considerations for bathroom design tailored to client needs
- 4.4Consider storage principles to determine implications for design
- 4.5Take into account special considerations for children, older people and/or disabled people in accordance with brief or client needs
5 Examine requirements for appliances, fixtures and fittings
- 5.1Determine manufacturer guidelines and statutory regulations regarding the placement and installation of sanitaryware
- 5.2Establish space implications for appliances and determine implications for design
6 Determine planning and contractual considerations
- 6.1Recognise the need for work or change that is subject to compliance requirements based on outcomes of assessment
- 6.2Determine and integrate implications of structural work and relocation or change to service requirements into the design process
- 6.3Identify and organise the need for specialist expertise and advice
7 Collate and document information
- 7.1Analyse, collate and combine information gathered based on the needs of the project
- 7.2Document information from assessment in a format that allows for easy reference as the design project progresse.
Performance evidence
- determined and documented spatial planning considerations for 3 different bathrooms, 1 of which must be a renovation, and 1 of which must be a new build.
Knowledge evidence
- liveable housing design – current and emerging thinking and trends
- principles of ergonomics and their application to bathroom design:
- clearance (minimum spatial tolerances for access)
- reach (maximum spatial tolerances and workspace envelope
- factors for consideration in planning bathroom spaces:
- additional space requirements often incorporated into bathrooms for functions such as dressing, ironing, make-up areas
- installation requirements
- clearances – floor, traffic
- space requirements for reaching, bending and crouching
- ways of collating and documenting information to inform the design process and how to develop itemised schedules
- aspects of bathroom design:
- layout options, including placement of:
- basins
- baths and/or spas
- lighting
- power
- showers and shower screens
- toilets and bidets
- vanities
- ventilation
- use zones:
- bathing and/or showering
- drying
- other ancillary uses
- storage - common requirements, options and storage principles
- types, characteristics, uses and spatial requirements for different appliances, fixtures and fittings, including:
- shower, shower screen and shower head
- toilet and bidet
- bath and spa
- laundry related items
- vanities, taps and sinks
- cabinets
- towel racks
- types, characteristics and use of different lighting and ventilation options, both natural and artificial
- types of work impacted by planning and building regulations, and the requirements and regulations that apply, including licensing requirements for:
- electrical (power and lighting)
- glazing (shower doors, shower screens, bath enclosures, windows, mirrors)
- painting
- plumbing
- structural changes
- structural changes (movement of walls, installation of new flooring)
- tiling
- waterproofing.
Foundation skills
- technology skills: to document information to inform design using digital media.

Questions about assessing MSFKB4010
What does an assessment tool for MSFKB4010 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSFKB4010 needs to address all 69 unit components: 7 elements with 24 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 43 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.
How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MSFKB4010?
Auditori pulls the current release of MSFKB4010 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.
Is the first assessment tool really free?
Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MSFKB4010 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MSFKB4010 assessment instead of generating a new one?
Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MSFKB4010, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
