This document provides guidelines for measuring and calculating quantities for construction estimates. It specifies that deductions should be made for openings like doors and windows based on their size, but reveals, jambs, and other features are only deducted in some cases. Corrugated surfaces and uneven finishes have their areas increased by certain percentages. Painting of surfaces can be measured flat or with girthing, and uneven surfaces are converted to plain areas using specified increase factors.
