Annex 2.1 – Scope of Works Rev. 2014_11_12

2.1.1.2 Method of Measurement Page 1 of 27
This method of measurement has been adopted in preparation of the provisional Bills of Quantities
(BoQ) issued by the Customer for tendering purposes and is to be applied as measurement principle
for site measurement of actual quantities executed.
1.0 GENERAL
1.1
The provisional BoQ have been prepared in accordance with this Method of Measurement.
1.2
Only major items are measured in the BoQ and the unit rates and prices entered therein are to cover
everything necessary to carry out the works complete, whether or not expressly identified elsewhere in
the contract specification, drawings and documents.
1.3
Item descriptions in the BoQ simply identify the work; they do not attempt to define the extent of the
work.
1.4
The exact nature and extent of the work to be carried out for each item shall be ascertained by
reference to the Working Drawings, Specifications and the Conditions of Contract for Civil Works
(CCC) read together and in conjunction with this Method of Measurement.
1.5
Drawings 'For Construction', issued by the Customer or the Contractor according to the contractual
scope of design responsibilities, will be issued progressively to suit the programmed development of
design and construction works. Tender drawings prepared by the Customer are for information and
tendering purposes only and reflect the general scope of the works. Changes in scope, detail, or
complexity between Tender Drawings and “For Construction” drawings shall not of themselves entitle
the Contractor to changes of unit rates or grounds for variations.
The latest revision of construction drawings from Customer shall be used by Contractor to incorporate
redlines of the actual as-built status.
1.6
Unless expressly otherwise defined elsewhere in the Contract, the unit rates and prices entered in the
BoQ shall be deemed inclusive of the full cost of the work covered by each item, including but not
limited to overheads (off-site and on-site) and profit, taxes, fees, bonds, insurances, management,
surveying and supervision costs, tools and construction equipment, mobilisation and demobilisation,
site installations and running costs thereof, all labour on-costs, labour and plant, Health & Safety and
Environmental measures, fixed price allowances on material etc.
The Contractors Health & Safety and Environmental measures include but are not limited to the
following: H&S-engineer and supervision staff permanent on site, personal protection equipment
( PPE ), scaffolding, temporary warning signs and protections measures, temporary signs for all
buildings and all rooms according to designation system, participation of all personnel on induction
courses, preparation of H&S-reports.
Please also refer to the site regulations which are part of Annex 3.
Furthermore the following shall also be deemed included in the unit rates: maintenance of temporary
roads and drains including wheel washing of Contractor’s vehicles, sedimentation pond, if provided, in
good operational conditions including repair, cleaning, water spray for dust suppression from handover
of the facilities/roads until completion of the works for usage. The same shall be applicable for
damages only if these were caused by the Contractor.
1.7
Generally no separate items are listed in the BoQ for temporary works or methods of working and their
design and provision costs shall be deemed included in the unit rates and prices for the permanent
works. For special areas temporary works may be provided in the BoQ and will be paid separately.
Separate payment of temporary works are limited to these items only and do not entitle the contractor
to claim for payment in other areas even if similar temporary works become necessary.

1.8
The whole of the Works shall be re-measured for the final account and the final cost shall be
computed by application of the unit rates inserted in the BoQ. All items shall be set down in
accordance with this Method of Measurement and, unless varied by a change instructed in
accordance with the CCC, descriptions shall be as the BoQ. The unit rates shall be deemed to cover
all work required by the Drawings, Specifications and Terms and Conditions of Contract including
works not measured or stated in item descriptions and no revised or additional items shall be included
in the final account to cover such works.
In cases where no BoQ item exists to cover a work item executed, a rate therefore shall be
established by interpolation with existing unit rates for similar work items. In such cases, the
Contractor shall provide a detailed break-down of those unit rates used for interpolation purposes.
1.9
The whole of the quantities will be measured net, as finished or fixed in accordance with the drawings
issued for construction. No allowance has been made, or will be made for working spaces, laps, waste
or enhancement of the quantities by the Contractor to suit his method of working whether or not the
Customer has approved the method. Nor shall any revision to unit rates be made for any changes to
such included aspects as a result of alteration to depths or dimensions, which may be introduced by
the Customer.
1.10
All measurement and quantities required for the ordering of materials or for any other purpose are to
be taken on site and no payment will be made for anything ordered in excess of the net quantity
actually used. Nothing in the BoQ shall be read as an instruction or taken as an authority to do the
work described either in whole or in part.
1.11
The site installation shall be paid as follows:
20% after completion of site mobilization (separate for Main Civil Works and Structural Steel and
Cladding Works) approved by the Customer’s Site Management;
70% distributed linearly on the construction period until the end of the construction period as defined in
this Contract. Value shall be invoiced with the monthly progress invoice;
10% after the end of the construction period, latest PAC, and hand over of the final documentation.
1.12
Access to and from the Works during the project will be shared with other Contractors directly
employed by the Customer. The unit rates and prices shall include for coordinating access with others
and for working in such a manner that the other Contractors can also carry out their work. It may be
necessary for the Customer to issue instructions permitting access or clarifying working in a shared
working area and any instructions issued under this preamble item shall not entitle the Contractor to
additional payment.
1.13
No alteration, deletion or amendment in any form to the BoQ or other Contract documents will be
recognised by the Customer unless authorised by him in writing.
1.14
BoQ items against which no price has been entered by the Contractor shall be deemed to be included
in other prices or unit rates in the BoQ.
1.15
Additional works eligible for reimbursement under the provisions of the Contract shall be re-measured
in accordance with this Method of Measurement by the Contractor. The Contractor’s measurements
will be checked by the Customer. Full supporting calculations and information such as marked-up
drawings or hand-drawn sketches shall be submitted to the Customer for this purpose. The accepted
quantities shall be keyed in a BoQ spread sheet for each payment application by the Contractor and
summed up on a summary sheet.
This procedure is described in detail in Contract Annex 2.1.1.5.

1.16
The above general requirements of this Method of Measurement for Civil Works are not repeated in
the following trade sections but shall be held to apply throughout the document.

2.3 Dewatering
Dewatering, in connection with the works subject to measurement of quantities and reimbursement
according to BoQ unit rates, shall be deemed included in respective excavation unit rates and no
separate payment for same will be made.
2.4
In addition to dewatering requirements referred to in item 2.3 above, the Contactor shall be deemed to
have included in his unit rates and prices for the works for the keeping of completed structures and all
other site areas (and/or parts thereof) free of water until such time as these have been certified by the
Customer as being ready for further erection works by others.
3.0 DEMOLITION
The unit rates for all demolition works are to include all works involved including permits required by
legislation, survey, excavation if necessary, removal of all materials from site to a tip or dumping place
off site including all permits, fees, taxes, intermediate handling, transport, etc.

measured as distance from edge to edge of the most external service plus 30cm (if not otherwise
dimensioned on construction drawings) on either side.
4.2.2
