Item Units

• Number, counting the number of items (doors and windows)

• Length, measuring the length of item (m) (pipe lines)
• Area, measuring square area of item (m2) (plastering, painting)
• Volume, measuring item volume (m3) (concrete works)
• Weight, measuring the mass of item (ton) (steel structures)
Notes for Quantity Survey
• Quantities of work are measured ‘net in place’ that are calculated
using the sizes and dimensions indicated on the drawings
• Dimensions are entered in this order: length, width, height
(thickness) with 2 decimal accuracy
• If the dimension does not come directly from tender drawings,
provide side calculations on the quantity sheet showing how it was
determined
• Detailed definition of the items

Notes for Excavation & Backfilling
• Measuring in cubic meter
• Classify excavation into: site clearing, excavation over site to reduce
levels, basement excavation, trench excavation
• Classify excavation according soil types
• Hand excavation shall be measured separately
• Classify backfilling into: fill over site to raised levels, backfill to
basement, backfill to trench
Gathering Information
• Information gathered from site visits
• Soil report: type of soil layers, recommended excavation depth,
foundation types, moister contents, ground water table, swell and
compaction factors, the sides of excavation
• Swell factor
• Compaction factor
• Bank measure
