This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to construct a range of small to large-scale complex floristry products to predetermined designs. This high order construction function requires the ability to access and interpret job specifications, adapt as required, prepare for construction, select the correct components, and assemble and present a range of complex floristry products. Work at this level involves preparing a production plan and coordinating the work of a production team.

Complex products could be custom made in response to customer briefs or original display or stock items made for general sale. They could be small or large scale floristry products, those of a complex nature, those using complex techniques or part of a range of products and displays for a special and or themed event.

This unit applies to all floristry industry businesses including retail floristry shops, and studio floristry businesses and those that specialise in corporate or special events. It applies to senior florists and floral designers who work independently or with limited guidance from others, have considerable experience across product categories and are responsible for making a range of operational and team decisions.

The florist constructing the product may or may not have designed it but will evaluate and modify the floral design during construction to resolve technical problems or make enhancements.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
