Measurement for Civil Engineering Works

The civil works measurement referred to a document called 'Civil The civil works measurement referred to a document called 'Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement '(CESMM). Engineering Standard Method of Measurement '(CESMM).

Before this document is produced, the party who responsible for the Before this document is produced, the party who responsible for the working measurement refers to the method adopted in the United working measurement refers to the method adopted in the United Kingdom named Kingdom named ‘CESMM 2nd Edition or 3rd Edition’.

There are a large part of the measurement refer to methods used in There are a large part of the measurement refer to methods used in building works or more unfortunate, they use their own building works or more unfortunate, they use their own measurement system. This led to inconsistencies in measurement measurement system. This led to inconsistencies in measurement procedures. As a result, contractors have difficulty to appreciate procedures. As a result, contractors have difficulty to appreciate the tender. the tender.

The actual measurement work must take into account the level of The actual measurement work must take into account the level of complexity of work undertaken. Work measurement for any one complexity of work undertaken. Work measurement for any one item of work is also closely related to the methodology and item of work is also closely related to the methodology and construction activitiesconstruction activities
