NO NO
1 SECTION GP-GENERAL It explains standard practices for measuring and preparing bills of quantities in 1-3
PRINCIPLES construction projects. It covers the accurate assessment of work, inclusive costs, and
guidelines for specific types of work, ensuring clarity and uniformity in tender
preparation and financial management.
2 SECTION A- GENERAL It details the necessary administrative arrangements, construction plant, temporary 3-4
REQUIREMENTS works, and various facilities needed by both the contractor and employer, ensuring
all aspects of the project are properly documented and accounted for.
3 SECTION B – SITE WORKS It covers the various activities and processes involved in site exploration, 4-9
preparation, and earthworks in construction projects. It provides details about how
to measure items such as trial holes, excavations, demolitions, piling, and tunnel
works, ensuring accurate documentation and evaluation of site-related tasks.
4 SECTION C – CONCRETE It includes details on measuring poured concrete (like foundations and walls), 9 - 11
WORKS reinforcement (such as bar and fabric types), and various forms of shuttering used to
shape the concrete. Additionally, it covers precast and prestressed concrete
components, specifying how to account for their dimensions and materials.
5 SECTION D – MASONRY It explains how to measure walls and piers by area, including special types like cavity 11
WORK walls and faced work. Sills and arches are measured by length. Reinforcement details
are aligned with concrete guidelines.
6 SECTION E – METAL It is about how to measure metal items based on their weight, without extra 11 - 12
WORK allowances for holes or cuts. Structural metalwork, like beams and frames, is
categorized by weight, while fittings and fixings are counted as separate items. Non-
structural metalwork, such as floor plates and handrails, is measured by area or
length.
7 SECTION F – WOOD It describes the methods for measuring different types of woodwork, such as 12 - 13
WORK structural timbers, flooring, frameworks, and fittings, indicating whether these
measurements should be taken by length, area, or counted individually based on their
specific features.
8 SECTION G - THERMAL outlines how to measure thermal and moisture protection work, including roofing, 13 - 14
AND MOISTURE damp-proof courses, and insulation, specifying whether measurements should be
PROTECTION taken by area or length.
9 SECTION H – DOORS AND It provides the measurement and enumeration of doors, windows, and related 14
WINDOWS components, specifying that doors and windows are enumerated, frames and sills are
measured by length, glass is measured by area, and patent glazing is classified by
type, ensuring clarity in documentation.
10 SECTION J- FINISHES It outlines the measurement and description of various finishes, backgrounds, and 14 - 16
decorations for surfaces, specifying how to classify and quantify different types of
work such as flooring, wall finishes, suspended ceilings, and signwriting.
11 SECTION K- It specifies that accessories, including partitions and their components, are to be 16
ACCESSORIES measured and enumerated based on their specific features and placements.
12 SECTION L - EQUIPMENT It defines that equipment relevant to a building's function, such as kitchen or lab 16
equipment, should be categorized and measured individually or as specific items.
13 SECTION M - It explains furnishings as movable items like furniture and accessories that are 16
FURNISHINGS essential for the use of a building, with each category measured or listed individually,
including curtain tracks measured by length with associated components included.
14 SECTION N – SPECIAL It includes unique types of enclosures and installations. Enclosures are counted 16 - 17
CONSTRUCTION separately, while related work is measured according to other sections, and
installations can be listed as individual items or measured as necessary.
15 SECTION P – CONVEYING Conveying systems like lifts and escalators are counted as individual items, along 17
SYSTEMS with various supports, testing, and documentation. It also specifies incidental work
related to installation, such as coordination with other systems and finishing touches,
as well as requirements for protective and decorative painting.
16 SECTION Q – It including pipework, ductwork, and equipment, should be classified, measured, 17-18
MECHANICAL and enumerated, covering aspects like fittings, insulation, and connections to supply
ENGINEERING mains, as well as incidental work associated with these installations.
INSTALLATIONS
17 SECTION R – ELECTRICAL It states that cables and conduits are measured by length, while accessories and 19 - 20
ENGINEERING equipment are enumerated. It also addresses connections to supply mains and
INSTALLATIONS incidental work, ensuring all components are properly categorized.
