PRESENTATION OUTLINE
• Aim
• Types of SMM
• SMM7 and other
• NRM suite
• NRM1
• NRM3
• NRM2
• Use of NRM2

2
AIM

Provide a broad-based understanding about use of


NRM2

3
COMMON TYPES OF SMM

• SMM7
• POMI
• SLS 573
• CESMM4
• NRM
• CESMM- SL
• Australian SMM

4
SMM7
• Standard Method of Measurement of Building works
(SMM)- First edition in 1922

• Last Edition - SMM7 in 1988 and revised in 1998

• Produced the by Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors


and the Building Employers Confederation.

• Discontinued printing
by January 2013

5
AUSTRALIAN STANDARD
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

Australian Standard Method of Measurement of


Building Works – ASMM 6
• First edition 1971
• Sixth Edition 2016

6
POMI

Principles of Measurement (International) - POMI


• First Edition 1979
• Reprinted 1988, 1991, 1994,
2001, 2002 and 2004
• Published by RICS Business
Services Limited

7
SLS 573
Sri Lanka Standard 573 revision 1999 – Standard
Method of Measurement of Building works –
ICTAD.

• It is claimed to be suitable for measuring all


projects in Sri Lanka.

• Very similar in format to SMM7 but amended


to suit Sri Lanka and influenced by CESMM3.
• First Edition 1982

8
CESMM

Civil Engineering Standard Method of


Measurement
• 1st Edition – 1976
• 2nd Edition – 1985
• 3rd Edition – 1991
• 4th Edition – 2012

Measurement Sri Lanka- 2017

NEW RULES OF
MEASUREMENT (1)
• NRM is a consistent cost management framework
for the whole life cycle of the construction.

• Structured set of rules for measuring and


capturing cost data.

• Not just a set of rules for the measurement of


construction and maintenance.

11
NEW RULES OF
MEASUREMENT (2 )
• A consistent tool to aid budget development, cost
planning and procurement.

• Does not intend to re-define estimating, cost


planning and measurement.

• It captures best/ common practice and documents


it as the single reference resource for everyone.

12
THE NEW RULES OF
MEASUREMENT (3)
• Not only applicable to Quantity Surveyors but
for Development Surveyors, Project Managers,
Building Surveyors and Facilities Managers.

13
NRM SUITE COVERS

NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost


planning for capital building works

NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building


works

NRM 3: Order of cost estimating and cost


planning for maintenance works

14
NRM 1 NRM 2 NRM 3
NRM 1 (1)

16
NRM 1 (2)
• First published in 2009.

• Updated in 2011 in par with comments from practitioners-


Building Cost Information Service (BCIS)- (SFCA), NRM2 &
3, BIM.

• Provides guidance on the quantification of building works


when preparing cost estimates and cost plans.

17
NRM 1 (3)
• Guides to quantify items which are not reflected
in measured items
i.e preliminaries, overhead and profit, professional
fees, risk allowances, inflation and other development
costs.

• Facilitate cost management of construction


projects – enabling more effective and accurate
cost advice

18
NRM 1 (4)
• Invaluable when preparing approximate estimates.

• Helps to develop the ‘cost management cycle’ - rules


can be used as a basis for capturing historical cost
data in the form required.

19
NRM 1 OFFERS GUIDANCE
ON;

• Order of cost estimate.


• Elemental cost model.
• Cost plan.
• Cost analysis
• Benchmark analysis

20
NRM 3 (1)

21
NRM 3 (2)

• Published in March 2014


• Guides the consistent approach to the estimating
and cost planning of maintenance work.
• Huge benefit to the maintenance industry (It
details how building is operated and maintained)

22
NRM 3 (3)
• Provides basis for standardizing asset surveys,
creating maintenance data bases and forming
link to BIM with maintenance.

• Gives a detailed idea about the life cycle cost of


a building

Unlike capital building works projects, maintenance works


are required to be carried out from the day a building or
asset is put to use until the end of its life.

23
NRM 2 (1)

24
NRM 2 (2)
• Published in April 2012

• Became operate on 1st January 2013

• Provides fundamental guidance on the detailed


measurement and description of building works
for the purpose of obtaining a tender price.

• A direct replacement for the Standard Method of


Measurement for Building Works (SMM7)

25
NRM 2 (3)
• Rules address:
• All aspects of bill of quantities (BOQ) production
• Details on dealing with the quantification of
non-measurable work items
• Contractor designed works and risks.

• Covers the whole life cycle cost management.

• Covers rules for client, QS, contractor and


specialist contractor.

provide a lump-sum fixed price for taking, managing
and dealing

• Sharing by both employer and contractor- value of the


portion of the risk for each party
• Retention by the employer- risk allowances included
in the cost plan

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.

• Deemed to include all additional material required for


laps, joints, seams and the like, as well as any waste
material.

• Curved work shall be measured on the centre line of the


material 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

39
QUANTITIES (2)

• Dimensions shall be measured to the nearest 10mm. 5mm


and over shall be regarded as 10mm and less than 5mm shall
be disregarded.

• Quantities in BOQ shall be given to the nearest whole


number. Quantities less than one unit shall be given as one
unit.

• Quantities in BOQ measured in tonnes (t) shall be given to


two decimal places.

40
QUANTITIES (3)
• Minimum deductions for voids refer only to openings
or wants within the boundaries of the measured work.

• Always deduct openings or wants at the boundaries of


measured areas, irrespective of size.

• Do not measure separate items for widths not


exceeding a stated limit where these widths are
caused by voids.
