FOREWORD

Meascrement of work occupies a very important place in the planning and


execution of any civil engineering project from the time of first estimates to final
completion and settlement of payments. Methods followed for the measurement are
not uniform, and considerable differences exist between the practices followed by
different construction agencies and also between various Central and State Govern-
ment Departments. While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to
be specifically related to administrative and financial organization with departments
responsible for the work, a unification of the various systems at the technical level has
been accepted as very desirable, specially as it permits a wider circle of operation for
civil engineering contractors, and eliminates ambiguities and misunderstandings
arising out of inadequate information and knowledge of various systems followed.

Indian Standards on method of measurement of building and civil engineering


works have, therefore, been formulated which have been covered in various parts of
IS : 1200 based on the trades. These parts are further amended and revised from
time to time so as to keep the same based on the latest practices being followed by
the major construction agencies. So far, 25 parts have been prepared covering
various trades.

A need for a consolidated handbook covering the methods of measurement


of building works at a place has been felt by various organizations, in general, and the
educational institutions, in particular. Such a handbook is also expected to help
those organizations which are dealing with all the trades. This Handbook was first
compiled in 1984 and was based on information given in various parts of IS : 1200
as on 31 March 1984. This revision includes information as on 31 March 1987
which incorporates revised parts 13, 15, 17 and 23, and amendments issued to
Part 21. However, for the purpose of exact latest information which is required to
be referred in case of contracts, etc, reference may be made only to the relevant
parts of IS : 1200 instead of this Handbook.
