-FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES-
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the construction and design of public and private sector works such as bridges, roads, dams and buildings. General civil engineers work closely with surveyors and specialized civil engineers to fit and serve fixed projects within their given site, community and terrain by designing grading, drainage, pavement, water supply, sewer service, electric and communications supply and land (real property) divisions.
The civil works measurement referred to a document called 'Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement '(CESMM). Before this document is produced, the party who responsible for the working measurement refers to the method adopted in the United Kingdom named CESMM 2nd Edition or 3rd Edition. There are a large part of the measurement refer to methods used in building works or more unfortunate, they use their own measurement system. This led to inconsistencies in measurement procedures. As a result, contractors have difficulty to appreciate the tender. The actual measurement work must take into account the level of complexity of work undertaken. Work measurement for any one item of work is also closely related to the methodology and construction activities
MALAYSIAN STANDARD METHODS OF MEASUREMENT FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS is to be used in conjunction with the Conditions Of Contract for Civil Engineering Works.
Does not deal with the preparation of BQ for mechanical & electrical engineering work, building work or work which is seldom encountered in civil engineering contracts.
If any such work to be included in the contract, such work shall be measured in accordance with their respective SMM and shall be stated in the Preambles to the BQ.

be enforceable by law to bind the appointed contractor with the employer based on an agreed conditions. Contract Drawings technical / detailed construction drawings for measurement / costing by QS / engineers prepared by architect / engineers. Specification / Preambles - A concise description of materials and workmanship, standard or quality of workmanship. It must convey the architect and engineers requirements. Bill of Quantities prepared by Quantity Surveyor based on measurement from the construction drawings / building plans This document were itemized all the quantities for each categories of works applied in constructing the buildings. E.g. building works, mechanical, electrical works, civil, structural works, infrastructure works, etc. The contractor will priced /estimate all the works associated in completing the buildings during pre-construction stage.
All tendering contractors base their prices on the same information & therefore tenders are strictly comparable (even if an error exists in the Bill) Contractors are saved the costly exercise of each having to take off quantities for themselves. Bills provide a fair basis for valuing variations and adjustments for the final account. Bills may provide a convenient basis for valuation of certificated stage payments during the contract, before the accurate re-measurement figures are available. Bills provide an approximate checklist for the contractor to order materials and other resources. Bills can provide data for cost analysis for use in cost planning of future projects.
SMM
provides a standard format, either in the form of items components and how they should be measured. various stages of introducing CESMM classification or space for description of the work that can be developed. CESMM measurement method using the concept of method-related charges to present the cost of construction at the site in more obvious, such as covering the cost of site preparation and building machinery operating costs, labor force and so on.
The details of building works are more in precise stage at the time preparing BQ. Building work covers more work sections in consequence subject to more detailed measurement.
selection types of contracts, documentation, preparation of drawings, specifications, project information, contract terms and list of quantities, preparation of list of material requirements / quantities, Method statement - detailed list of detailed construction work with short explanation with quantity measured by CESMM Explanation on the scope of work that will be implemented by the contractor and then be the basis for pricing the tender.
Purpose of CESMM
The
main purpose of the measurement based on CESMM is for coordinating and planning of the quantity list, to list the details of work to ensure consistency and systematic and to state the new techniques of construction clearly.
Work classification divides work into 18 main classes; Class A- Class R Each class comprises up to 3 division which classify work at successive level of detail.
Each division comprises a list of up to 8 descriptive features of work. Each item description shall identify the component of work covered with respect to one feature from each division of the relevant class.
Reasons: It gives an advantage to the tendered contractors due to bills that have code. Quantity surveyor feels that they are assisted by the code and numbering system and can be used as a brief reference to the file system and data costs. Each class work contains a set of measurements, definitions, coverage, additional rules of measurement that expands and clarify all information and evidence.
Every classification of work explains every units for each item of work, within the total allocation and numbering system for each item, the items in units of meters long, in units of square meters of area (hectares for cleaning site), unit volume and weight and metric units.

and prices shall be inserted in the rate column in Ringgit Malaysia with Sen inserted as decimal fractions of one Ringgit. Each part of the BQ shall be totaled and the total carried to the Grand Summary
