INTRODUCTION -:

 This Indian Standard ( Part XXI ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 24 March 1973, after the draft finalized by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
 In the course of usage of this standard by various construction agencies in the country, several
clarifications and suggestions for modifications were received and as a result of study, the technical
committee responsible for this standard decided that its scope besides being applicable to buildings
should be expanded to cover method of measurement of civil engineering works like industrial and
river valley project works.
 This part covers method of measurement of woodwork and joinery; applicable to buildings as well
as to civil engineering work
SCOPE-:
 This standard ( Part XXI ) covers the method of measurement of woodwork and joinery in buildings and civil
engineering works.

GENERAL RULES-:
 Clubbing of Items -: Items can be clubbed together provided that the break up of clubbed items is agreed to be on the
basis of detailed description of items stated in this standard.
 Booking of Dimensions - In booking dimensions, the order shall be consistent and generally in the sequence of length,
breadth or width and height or depth, or thickness.
 Description of Items - The description of each item shall, unless otherwise stated, be held to include where necessary,
conveyance and delivery, handling, unloading, storing, fabrication, hoisting, all labour for finishing to, required shape
and size, setting, fitting and fixing in position, straight cutting and waste.
 Measurement – Unless otherwise stated all works should be measured net in decimal system, as fixed in
position.
• Length and width shall be measured to the nearest 0.01 m. Width of single or detached planks shall,
however, be measured to the nearest 2 mm. Thickness shall be measured to the nearest 2 mm.
 • Scantlings, battens, and baulks shall, however, be measured to the nearest 2 mm
in each cross-sectional dimension.
• Areas shall be worked out to the nearest 0.01 m2
• Cubical contents shall be worked out to the nearest 0.001m3
 Bills of Quantities -Bills of quantities shall fully describe materials and workmanship, and accurately
represent the work to be executed.

than ordinary steel, they shall be so described. Screws used for fixing builders hardware shall be
measured along with the hardware.
 All work shall be measured net as fixed, that is, no extra measurement shall be made for shape
, joints, etc., except as mentioned below:
 Scantlings, battens, etc., in sections other than rectangular shall be measured as the least
rectangle from which the section can be obtained.
 In cast of scantlings, battens, etc., with varying sections, largest section shall be measured.
 Mitred pieces shah be measured along longest length.
 Circular or segmental portions shall be measured net separately.
 The description of items shall include all the necessary keys, wedges, dowels, wood or bamboo pins to tenoned joints
and clenching of nail heads.
 Unless specifically mentioned a tolerance of 1.5 mm shall be allowed for each wrought face.
 Items of plain woodwork exceeding 20 cm in width, if required in one width, shall be so described and measured
separately.
 All lineal labours, such as rebates ( straight or splayed ) beads and chambers shall be described and included with the
item.
 Plugging to walls for planks, etc., shall be described and measured in running meters per row stating the spacing of
plugs. Plugging to walls for fittings or detached work, etc., shall be described and enumerated.
 Wrought timber shall be so described and measured separately except where planning is measured separately.
 Planing shall be measured in square meters for all wrought surfaces, unless timber has been described as wrought.
 The following labours shall be measured separately in square meters when the timbers measured in cubic meters and in
running meters stating the thickness when timber is measured in square meters: a) Scribing,
b) Notching exceeding 15 cm each in girth
