NEW RULES OF
MEASUREMENT (1)
• NRM is a consistent cost management framework
for the whole life cycle of the construction.
11
NEW RULES OF
MEASUREMENT (2 )
• A consistent tool to aid budget development, cost
planning and procurement.
12
THE NEW RULES OF
MEASUREMENT (3)
• Not only applicable to Quantity Surveyors but
for Development Surveyors, Project Managers,
Building Surveyors and Facilities Managers.

MEASUREMENT RULES
FOR BUILDING WORKS
• Quantities
• Descriptions
• Work of special type
• Measureable work not covered by tabulated
rules
• Provisional quantities
37
QUANTITIES(1)
• Net as fixed in position unless otherwise stated.
38
• Volume of trench is 10.00X 1.00 X 2.00=20m3
• Volume of the Material collected = Vm3
• V = 20m3
• V > 20m3
• V < 20m3

QUANTITIES (2)

QUANTITIES (3)
• Minimum deductions for voids refer only to openings
or wants within the boundaries of the measured work.

DESCRIPTIONS
Unless specifically stated otherwise in descriptions
for items shall include;
• Type and quality of the material;
• Critical dimension(s) of the material(s);
• Method of fixing, installing or incorporating the goods or
materials into the work where not at the discretion of the
contractor; and
• Nature or type of background.
44
ITEM SHALL BE DEEMED TO
INCLUDE(1)
• Labour and all costs in connection therewith
45
ITEM SHALL BE DEEMED
TO INCLUDE(2)
• All rough and fair cutting (finishing) unless specially
stated otherwise
46
PROVISIONAL QUANTITIES
• Quantity of work cannot be accurately determined, an
estimate of the quantity shall be given as a ‘provisional
quantity’.
