Measurement of Building Work A

MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORK (A)
Task -01
1.1 Any construction work measurement is getting an important place. So we should know
important and principles of measurements. We want to get correct and accurate
measurement for this we use SMM7 this standard method of measurement provides a
uniform basis for measuring building works and ombidies the essentials of good practice.
Bills of quantity shall fully describe and accurately represent the quantity and quality of
the works to be carried out. More detailed information than is required by these rules
shall be given where necessary in order to define the precise nature and extent of the
required work.
SMM7s including following type of information
Use of the tabulate rules
1. Generally
2.Classification table
Quantities
1. Supplementary rules
Descriptions
Drawing information
Catalogued or standard components
Work of special types
Procedure where the drawn and specification information required by these rules in
not available
Fixing, base and background
Composite item
Work not covered
Symbols and abbreviations
Work to existing buildings
General definition
For this information we can take measurement easily and quickly so SMM7 is more
important for building works.
Principles of measurement practices
For the measurement quantity surveyor using by following stationeries this are called as
surveyors stationeries.

Task-01
1.3 Indentify and describe the major part of a bill of quantities (P3)
After entering Abstract sheet next we use bill page so BOQ has major 5patrs these are
follows 1). Preliminaries
Preliminaries Items we separate two parts.
Not specific to work section
This items not specific to work section but
that has cost.
Eg:- 1.Tendering process
2.Contractual requirements for
insurances
3.Site facilities for the employers
representative and payments to
the local
Authorities.
Specific to work section

This items are specific to work sections on
the work time only after working these are
removed or finished so that has cost such
as,
1.Water for work
2.Supervision
3. Temporary work.
Temporary road
Hats / office
Electric supply
4. Scaffolding.
2).Sectional trade bill

There would be a number of sectional trade bills in accordance with the scope, or complexity
of the project. All the measured work in according with the SMM7 will be inserted in to
sectional trade bills, such as,
*Bill No.2D-Ground work
*Bill No.3F-Masenry
BCAS
Page 6

*Bill No.4E-In-site concrete etc.
3).Preambles.
Preambles are clauses usually inserted at the head of each work section bills, and principally
contained descriptions, together with another relevant information of which the contractor
should be aware in pricing. Inserting the preamble in the BOQ the length of the work
descriptions are reduced and the specifications is not necessary if they provide the
information. Another procedure is to combine all preamble clauses in a separate bill,
following preliminaries.
Functions of preambles
Specify quality of materials.
Specify the standard of the workmanship required .
Assist in pricing measured work.
Repetition of same information item by item will be avoided and hence the work
Descriptions will be more concise.
4).Money provision.
There are two types of money provisions that are inserted in to a BOQ
1. Prime cost sums.
The term Prime cost sum (PC sum) is a sum provided in the bill of quantities for works or
services to be executed by a nominated subcontractor, or for materials or goods to be
obtained from a nominated supplier such sums are exclusive of any profit required by the
main contractor and provision is made for its addition following the Pc sum general and
special attendance by the main contractor on nominated subcontractors is provided as an
item in the preliminaries bill. These can be entered either as fixed or time related charges.

2. Provisional Sums
Where the work cannot be descried and given in accordance with SMM (SL) rules, It shall
be given as a provisional sum and identified as for either defined or undefined work. In
defined work items a description and indication of the amount of work. Can be given and the
contractor will be deemed to have made due allowance in programming, planning and
pricing the preliminaries. Whore these details cannot be supplied the work is classified as
undefined and the contractor will be deemed not to have made any allowance in
