Module Ref: A2

Duration: 1 day
Maximum 10 delegates

Aims

To provide a familiarisation with the principles of taking off, recording dimensions and the presentation of bills of quantities.

Coverage

• Terminology
• Level applications to earthworks, including cut and fill lines
• Review of entries to dimension paper
• Consideration of associated construction technology and sequence
• Taking off quantities for earthworks, reinforced concrete and ancillaries, drainage, roads and pavings and piling application to CESMM3
• Working-up measurements for compiling draft bills
• The weighted technique for average ground levels
• Development of descriptions

Teaching Outcomes

At the end of the workshop, the delegates should be able to:

• Define certain standard terminology associated with civil engineering works and understand its relevance to the measurement process
• Apply the weighted technique for establishing average ground levels
• Interpolate the position of cut and fill lines
• Produce measurements for drainage, concrete works, earthworks etc.
• Enter quantities on dimension paper
• Develop measurement descriptions into CESMM or MMHW format
• Produce typical bill entries for a bill of quantities

Delegates are required to supply their own calculators and scale rules with 1:100, and 1:200 scales. Copies of CESMM3 will be supplied on the course.
