CIVIL ENGINEERING STANDARD METHOD OF MEASUREMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE

-New CESMM3 Guidance Notes - MAY 1996

Although the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement third edition was published in 1991 and has been used extensively since, there are still a few misunderstandings which the Review Committee have been requested to explain. The Committee has therefore produced the following Guidance Notes to assist users of CESMM3' in the compilation of bills and measurement of construction work.
Paragraph 5.6 - Dayworks

There has been considerable misunderstanding over the effects of a percentage addition or reduction as applied by CESMM to the Schedules of Dayworks carried out incidental to Contract Work issued by the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors. The example below will assist in demonstrating the result of a 10% addition and a 30% reduction to the Schedule:Addition Hourly Rate Schedule of Dayworks Rate - add 148% Total before adjustment Adjustment addition of 10% deduction of 30% 5.00 Deduction

f.0 74 f12.40

Total Rate for Daywork

E36 1.4

f.8 s6

Class G Concrete Ancillaries GI-4,*,* - Formwork

The measurement of formwork for concrete components of constant cross-section is referred to in the Note at the bottom of Page 43 for CESMM3' or Page 41 for CESMM2'. In a situation where there is a requirement @r inserts, intrusions etc. in the linear measure, it should be dealt with by applying the principles of rule M6.

G3,*,* - Formwork

Where the Specification "expressly requires" a stated finish the item should be measured under G8,2,*. Work required to achieve the finished surface after striking formwork, eg. Rubbing down and making good, is included in G3,*,* and does not need to be billed separately under G8,2,*. A Guidance Note on "Expressly required" was published in the May 1994 issue of Civil Engineering2.
Class L Pipework L3-5,*,* -Rule MI1 - Measurement of Multiple Pipes

It has been suggested that in a multiple pipe run,the measurement could be interpreted as the length along the centre lines multiplied by the number of pipes. This is not the case and the intention is that it should be the length of the bed, haunch or surround. As noted in the Handbool? on page 137, it should be remembered that Classes I, J, K and L should always be considered as one composite class. The problem is then resolved by refemng to Class K Definition Rule D l when reading Class L Measurement Rule M11.

The Committee wishes to emphasize that its role is to provide advice on problems that arise from the practical application of CESMM, but it does not exist to provide an arbitration service and such problems must be dealt with under the mechanisms provided for in individual contracts. The last set of Guidance Notes for CESMM3 was published in Civil Engineerin? May 1994 and reproduced by permission in Civil Engineering Surveyor September 1994. Users and readers were requested to comment on a proposal to extend CESMM to deal with the measurement of maintenance work andfor renovation of existing structures. It would appear there is little demand for this extension to be developed. Comments and queries on CESMM should be referred in writing to: Mr. Drick Vernon, Standing CESMMReview Committee, The Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street, Westminster,LONDON SWlP 3AA.

PREFACE
The Civil Engineering Standard Method o f Measurement, third edition (CESMM3). has been approved by the sponsors-the lnstitution of Civil Engineers and the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors-for use in works of civil engineering construction. This third edition supersedes the second edition published i n 1985. Reference to CESMM3 in the Appendix to the Form of Tender, as provided for by clause 57 of the ICE Conditions of Contract, sixth edition (January 1991) is sufficient t o give effect t o the use o f this standard method of measurement for a particular contract. CESMM3 may be used with other conditions of contract such as the ICE Conditions o f Contract for Ground Investigation and the ICE Conditions o f Contract for Minor Works. When other conditions of contract are used, paragraph 1.2 and clause numbers referred to i n CESMM3 should be amended by a statement in the Preamble in accordance with paragraph 5.4. The Comrriiltee under whose guidance CESMM3 has been prepared will keep the use of the document under review and consider any suggestions for amendment. These should be addressed to The Secretary, The Institution of Civil Engineers, 1-7 Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA. Revision of the document will be made when such action seems warranted.

FOREWORD TO THE FIRST EDITION

In 1964 the Council of the lnstitution of Civil Engineers set u p a Committee under the Chairmanship of T. A. L. (now Sir Angus) Paton. CMG, BSc(Eng1. FICE, to propose revisions to the Standard Method of Measurement o f Civil Engineering Quantities. In 1971 the w o r k o f revision was undertaken by Martin Barnes, PhD, BSc(Eng), MICE, who worked initially under an agreement with the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and, after he left the University i n 1972, under a direct agreement with the Institution of Civil Engineers. A Steering Committee was appointed by the Council of the lnstitution of Civil Engineers to supervise the work. The Steering Committee was enlarged i n 1972 by the appointment of an additional representative from each of the lnstitution of Civil Engineers, the Association of Consulting Engineers and the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors. The members o f the committee (+ indicates member appointed i n 19711 were

Brierley, BSc(Eng1, FICE, co-opted Late in 1972 a draft o f the revised standard method o f measurement was circulated for comment to 71 representative bodies. Trial Bills of Quantities were prepared by 20 organizations. Discussions with interested bodies continued throughout 1973 and 1974 and the form of the present document owes much to the suggestions made during this time b y bodies outside the committee. The Steering Committee is indebted t o the many people who helped i n this way. The object,of the work has been to make improvements while retaining the good features of the previous edition of the standard method of measurement. The principal improvements sought are (a1 to standardize the layout and contents of Bills of Quantities prepared according to the standard method of measurement Ib) to provide a systematic-structure of bill items leading to more uniform itemization and description (c) to review the subdivision of work into items sp that a more sensitive and balanced description of the value of work i n a contract is provided /@ to take account of new techniques i n civil engineering construction and management, their influence o n the work itself and o n the administration of contracts. A Bill of Quantities which i n essence is no more than a price list of the Permanent Works no longer adequately reflects the many variables i n the cost o f civil engineering construction which have resulted from developments i n constructional techniques and methods. It has therefore been decided to provide for some additional items of measured work and for other items, entered at the option of the tenderer, directly related to methods of construction. A system of work classification has been adopted as the basis of the method of measurement so that Bills of Quantities can be compiled and used more easily. The system should enable much of the repetitive clerical work associated with the use of Bills of Quantities to be simplified, and make the use of computers easier. The Work Classification incorporates a reference number for each type of work component. These reference numbers may be used as a simple code for identification o f work. Their use as part of the item numbers i n Bills of Quantities is I suggested; but is optimal. The coding is sufficiently flexible not to inhibit description of the particular work i n each contract.

FOREWORD TO THE SECOND EDITION

In 1983 the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers instructed the CESMM Review Committee to prepare a second edition of the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement. The members of the Review Committee were

H. R. Oakley, CBE, FEng, MSc(Eng1. FICE, Chairman

D. C.

Coode, CBE. FCGI. FICE

N. C. 0. Brierley, BSc(Eng), FICE N. M. L. Barnes, BSclEng), PhD. FICE, FCIOB, ACIArb. MBCS
The work of analysing the comments received o n the first edition and of drafting the second edition was undertaken by Martin Barnes and Partners who were assisted by McGill and Partners. Many organizations contributed comments and suggestions for amendment of the document and others participated by reviewing drafts and giving advice. The Review Committee is indebted to the many people who helped in this way, and particularly to the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors who appointed a committee to review and comment upon the drafts. The object of the amendments made i n the second edition was twofold. Firstly it was to take account of developments i n civil engineering technology and i n the significance of different costs of civil engineering work which have taken place since the first edition was published. Secondly it was to take the opportunity o f altering the wording of the small number of provisions of the first edition which experience had shown were not working either as smoothly as they might or in the way which had been intended. The second edition of the CESMM is consequently not a radical departure from the first edition, but an update and general overhaul. The two most noticeable changes are the categorization and upgrading of the former notes i n the work classification and the introduction of a standard method of measurement for sewer renovation work. The rearrangement of the former notes is intended to make the document easier to use i n two ways. Firstly, the notes have been r e - n a i e d rules i n order to emphasize that their provisions govern h o w work should be described and measured in civil engineering bills of quantities and that they have equal status with rules i n any other part of the document. Secondly, they have been divided into four categories to indicate the four separate functions which they perform and have, as far as possible, been laid out alongside the parts of the classification tables to which they relate. The section for measurement of sewer renovation work has been introduced i n order to provide for the considerably increased volume of work of this type now being undertaken. The method of measurement for sewer renovation i n this document is based upon that devised originally for the Water Research Centre and included i n their standard specification. The lnstitution of Civil Engineers and the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors acknowledge the assistance given by the Water Research Centre i n allowing this method of measurement to be embodied in the CESMM.

FOREWORD TO THE THIRD EDITION

Although the second edition of the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement was published i n 1985, a number of factors have combined to cause the need for a third edition. The main changes incorporated i n the third edition (CESMM3) are amendments to enable its use with the ICE Conditions of Contract, sixth edition (January 19911, and the introduction of a standard method of measurement for water main renovation and for simple building works incidental to civil engineering works (classes Y and Z). Account has also been take of developments i n civil engineering technology and the opportunity taken to make minor amendments and corrections to the text of the second edition. There are n o changes i n principle or i n the general arrangement. The Review Committee is indebted to a number of organizations and individuals who have contributed comments and suggestions for amendment. The committee is particularly indebted to E. C. Harris: Quantity Surveying whose proposals formed the basis for the new class Z. The work of analysing the comments and suggestions and drafting CESMM3 was undertaken by Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte. The members of the Review Committee were H. R. Oakley. CBE, FEng, MSc(Eng1, FICE, Chairman N. M. L. Barnes. FEng, BSc(Eng1, PhD. FICE, FCIOB, ACIArb. MBCS, CBlM Miss R. Beales, Barrister-at-Law J. Banyard, MICE H. A. Jones. MICE, Secretary The committee isindebted to Dr Barnes of Coopers and Lybrand Deloine for his invaluable advice and assistance throughout.

SECTION 2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Title application and extent
2.1. The title of this document is the Civil Engineering Standard Method Measurement, third edition, which is abbreviated to CESMM3. CESMM3 intended to be used in conjunction with the Conditions of Contract and only connection with civil engineering works and simple building works incidental civil engineering works.

of is in to

2.2. CESMM3 provides for simple building works incidental to civil engineering works to be measured in accordance with class 2. CESMM3 does not deal with the preparation of Bills of Quantities for complex mechanical or electrical engineering work, or complex building work or work which is seldom encountered in civil engineering contracts. Where any such work is to be included in a Contract for civil engineering work, it shall be itemized and described in the Bill of Quantities in sufficient detail to enable tenderers to price it adequately and the method of measurement shall be stated in the Preamble to the Bill of Quantities in accordance with paragraph 5.4.

Object of CESMM3

2.3. The object of CESMM3 is to set forth the procedure according to which the Bill of Quantities shall be prepared and priced and the quantities of work expressed and measured.
2.4.

Objects of the Bill of Quantities

The objects of the Bill of Quantities are

( a ) to provide such information of the quantities of work as to enable tenders to be prepared efficiently and accurately ( b ) when a Contract has been entered into, to provide for use of the priced Bill of Quantities in the valuation of work executed.
2.5. In order to attain these objects, work should be itemized in the Bill of Quantities in sufficient detail for it to be possible to distinguish between the different classes of work, and between work of the same nature carried out in different locations or in any oiher circumstances which may give rise to different considerations of cost. Consistent with these requirements the layout and content of the Bill of Quantities should be as simple and brief as possible.
2.6. All work which is expressly required should be covered in the Bill of Quantities.

2.7. CESMM3 seeks to attain these objects principally by the use of the Work Classification. This defines

(a) how work is to be divided into separate items in the Bill of Quantities ( b ) the information to be given in item descriptions (cl the units in which the quantities against each item are to be expressed Id) how the work is to be measured for the purpose of calculating quantities.

SECTION 3. APPLICATION OF THE WORK CLASSIFICATION

ltem descriptions 3.1. The Work Classification divides work commonly encountered i n civil engineering contracts into 26 main classes. Each class comprises u p to three divisions which classify work at successive levels of detail. Each division comprises a list of up to eight descriptive features of work. Each item description i n the Bill of Quantities shall identify the component of work covered with respect to one feature from each division of the relevant class, e.g. Class H (precast concrete) contains three divisions of classification. The first classifies different types of precast concrete units, the second classifies different units by their dimensions, and the third classifies them by their mass. Each item description for precast concrete units shall therefore identify the component of work i n terms of the type of unit, its dimensions and mass. Mode of description 3.2. To avoid unnecessary length, item descriptions for Permanent Works shall generally identify the component of the Works and not the tasks to be carried out by the Contractor, e.g. An item should be described as 'Plain round mild steel bar reinforcement t o BS 4449 nominal size 20 mm', not as 'Supply, deliver, cut, bend and fix plain round mild steel bar reinforcement to BS 4449 nominal size 20 mm'. 3.3. Where the work identified by an item is specifically limited, the limitation shall be stated i n the item description, e.g. 'Plain round mild steel bar reinforcement to BS 4449 nominal size 20 m m excluding supply and delivery to the Site.' ltem descriptions for work which is divided between two classes require such limitations to be stated, e.g. ltem descriptions for miscellaneous metalwork inserts which are to be cast into concrete require appropriate additional description if items are given i n both class G for casting in the inserts and class N for supplying the inserts. Separate items
3.4. The work shall be divided into items i n the Bill of Quantities so that the component o f work which is included i n each item does not exhibit more than one feature from each division of any one class of the Work Classification, e.g.
i

One item for precast concrete work shall not include more than one of the types of concrete unit listed in the first division of class H, neither shall it include different units whose dimensions are not within one of the classifications listed i n the second division of class H, nor shall it include different units whose mass does not lie within one of the ranges listed i n the third division of class H. Units of measurement
3.5. The unit of measurement for each item shall be that stated for the item i n the Work Classification. The unit of measurement stated against a descriptive feature in the Work Classification shall apply to all items to which that descriptive feature applies.

,
I

Measurement rules

3.6. Measurement rules in the Work Classification set out the conditions under which work shall be measured and the method by which the quantities shall be computed if other than in accordance with paragraph 5.18. 3.7. Definition rules i n the Work Classification define the extent and limits of the class of work represented by a word or expression used i n the Work Classification and in a Bill of Quantities prepared in accordance with CESMM3. 3.8. Coverage rules i n the Work Classification provide that the work stated is deemed to be included in the appropriate items to the extent that such work is included i n the Contract. A coverage rule does not state all the work covered by an

Definition rules

Coverage rules

item and does not preclude any of the work stated being covered by a MethodRelated Charge. Additional description rules 3.9. Description of an item in addition to that required i n accordance with paragraph 3.1 shall be given where required by any provision of section 5 or by any applicable additional description rule i n the Work Classification. Where additional description is given, a separate item shall be given for each component of work exhibiting a different additional feature, e.g. Additional description rule dl of class H requires that the specification of the concrete i n each precast concrete unit shall be stated. Accordingly, this rule also means that separate items shall be given for units cast from concrete of different specifications. 3.10. Where a descriptive feature i n the Work Classification identifies a range or group of dimensions and an applicable additional description rule requires the particular dimension to be stated, the range or group of dimensions shall not also be stated, e.g. Additional description rule A2 of class I requires that the nominal bores of pipes shall be stated i n item descriptions. The range of nominal bore taken from the second division of the classification of class I shall not also be stated. Applicability of rules 3.11. Rules printed on a right-hand page above a double line apply to all work i n the class. Other rules on a right-hand page apply to particular groups of items as shown by the classification table.

SECTION 4. CODING AND NUMBERING OF ITEMS

Coding
4.1.

For convenience of reference each item in the Work Classification has been assigned a code number consisting of a letter and not more than three digits. The letter corresponds to the class i n the Work Classification in which the item occurs and the digits give the position of the item in the first, second and third divisions of the class, e.g. Code H 1 3 6 identifies an item as class first division second division third division

H
1 3 6

precast concrete beams length 7-10 m mass 5 1 0 t

4.2. The symbol + is used i n the rules to the Work Classification to indicate all numbers i n the appropriate division, e.g.

H13
Item numbers

means the group of code numbers from H 1 3 1 to H 1 3 8 inclusive.

4.3. Code numbers may be used to number the items i n the Bill of Quantities, the items within the Bill of Quantities being listed in order of ascending code number.
4.4. Code numbers used as item numbers in the Bill of Quantities shall not form part of the item descriptions or be taken into account i n the interpretation of the Contract.

Coding of unclassified items

4.5. Where a feature of an item is not listed in the Work Classification the digit 9 shall be used i n the appropriate positions i n the code number. 4.6. Where there is an item to which a division of classification does not apply or for which fewer than three divisions of classification are given the digit 0 shall be used i n the appropriate positions i n the code number.

Numbering o i items w i t h additional description

4.7.

Additional description given for an item in accordance with paragraph 3.9 is not represented by the code number. Where code numbers are used as item numbers a suffix number shall be used to distinguish items which have the same code number but different additional description, e.g. Additional description rule A1 of class H requires that additional description be given for precast concrete units stating their position i n the Works and the specification of the concrete used. If three items are required within one part o f the Bill of Quantities to allow for precast concrete beams having the same code but different additional description, the items should be numbered

SECTION 5. PREPARATION OF THE BILL OF QUANTITIES

Measurement of completed work
5.1.

Appropriate provisions of this section shall also apply to the measurement of completed work.

Sections of the Bill of Quantities

5.2. The Bill of Quantities shall be divided into the following sections.

(a) List of principal quantities (b) Preamble (c) Daywork Schedule (dl Work items (grouped into parts) (el Grand Summary. List of principal quantities
5.3. A list of the principal components of the Works with their approximate estimated quantities shall be given solely to assist tenderers i n making a rapid assessment of the general scale and character of the proposed Works prior to the examination of the remainder of the Bill of Quantities and the other contractual documents o n which their tenders will be based. 5.4. The Preamble shall state the methods of measurement other than CESMM3, if any, which have been adopted i n the preparation of the Bill of Quantities and are to be used for the measurement of any part of the Works. Such methods of measurement shall comprise those adopted and to be used for any work not covered by CESMM3 and any amendments to CESMM3 which have been adopted and are to be used. Amendments comprising abbreviation of CESMM3 are usually necessary for Contractor-designed work and work which is intended to involve selection between alternatives at the discretion of the Contractor. The extent of the work affected by ail amendments to CESMM3 shall be stated i n the Preamble. 5.5. Where excavation, boring or driving is included in the work a definition of rock shall be given i n the Preamble and this definition shall be used for the purposes of measurement.

Preamble

Daywork Schedule

5.6.

The Daywork Schedule, if any, shall comprise e i t h e ~

(a) a list of the various classes of labour, materials and plant for which Daywork rates or prices are to be inserted by the tenderer together with a statement of the conditions under which the Contractor shall be paid for work executed on a Daywork basis, or

( b ) a statement that the Contractor shall be paid for work executed o n a Daywork basis at rates and prices calculated by adding the percentage additions stated i n the Schedules of Dayworks carried out incidental to Contract Work issued by the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors to the rates and prices contained in the aforementioned Schedules and by making further adjustments as follows.

5.7.

Provisional Sums for work executed on a Daywork basis may be given comprising separate items for labour, materials, plant and supplementary charges. Where a Daywork Schedule of the form stated in sub-paragraph ( b ) of paragraph 5.6 is used each Provisional Sum shall be followed by an item for the adjustment referred to i n that sub-paragraph. The price inserted against each such item shall be calculated by applying the percentage addition or deduction inserted by the Contractor in the Daywork Schedule to the amount of the associated Provisional Sum. The items i n the Bill of Quantities which are to be priced and t o contribute to theTenderTotal may be arranged into numbered parts to distinguish between those parts of the work of which the nature, location, access, limitation on sequence or timing or any other special characteristic is thought likely to give rise to different methods of construction o r considerations of cost.

Definitions

METHOD-RELATED CHARGES
7.1. For the purposes of this section the following words and expressions shall have the meanings hereby assigned to them.

(a) 'Method-Related Charge' means the sum for an item inserted in the Bill of Quantities by a tenderer in accordance with paragraph 7.2. Ib) 'Time-Related Charge' means a Method-Related Charge for work the cost of which is to be considered as proportional to the length of time taken to execute the work. [c) 'Fixed Charge' means a Method-Related Charge which is not a Time-Related Charge. Insertion by a tenderer
7.2. A tenderer may insert i n the Bill of Quantities such items for Method-Related Charges as he may decide to cover items of work relating to his intended method of executing the Works, the costs of which are not to be considered as proportional to the quantities of the other items and for which he has not allowed in the rates and prices for the other items. 7.3. Where possible the itemization of Method-Related Charges should follow the order of classification and the other requirements set out in class A of the Work Classification, distinguishing between Time-Related Charges and Fixed Charges. Method-Related Charges may be inserted to cover items of work other than those set out in class A. 7.4. Each item for a Method-Related ~ h a r i inserted in the Bill of Quantities shall e be fully described so as to define precisely the extent of the work covered and to identify the resources to be used and the darticular items of Permanent Works or Temporary Works, if any, to which the item relates. 7.5. The insertion by the Contractor of an item for a Method-Related Charge in the Bill of Quantities when tendering shall not bind him to adopt the method stated in the item description i n executing the Works. 7.6. Method-Related Charges shall not be subject to admeasurement but shall be deemed to be prices for the purposes of clauses 52[1), 52(2) and 56(2). 7.7. Method-Related Charges shall be certified and paid pursuant to clauses 60(11ld) and 60(21[a) and a statement to this effect shall appear in the Preamble to the Bill of Quantities. 7.8. In the event of the satisfactory execution of any part of the Works which has been the subject of an item for a Method-Related Charge using, whether i n whole or i n part, a method other than that described i n the item the Contractor shall nevertheless be entitled to payment of the Method-Related Charge or the balance thereof, as the case may be, by such instalments at such times and upon such events as may from time to time be agreed between the Engineer and the Contractor. In default of such agreement the Method-Related Charge, or the balance then unpaid, shali be treated as if it were an addition to the Adjustment Item referred to i n paragraphs 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 and allowed to the Contractor by way of instaiments I n interim certificates accordingly. The amount of a MethodRelated Charge shall be neither increased nor decreased by reason only of any change i n method made by the Contractor, unless such change has been ordered by the Engineer, in which case the provisions of clause 52 shali apply.
