Fractions of a unit less than half are disregarded and all other fractions shall be regarded as whole units. 4. 5. In cases where the total quantity measured is less than half of one unit of measurement this shall be regarded as one whole unit.

The final responsibility as to which Section provides material to be incorporated in the Works rests with the Contractor and he shall ensure that the cost of all items is included in his Rates and prices whether occurring in the Section responsible for carrying them out or in another. Where minimum deductions of voids are dealt with they refer only to openings or voids which are wholly within the boundaries of measured areas. Openings or voids which are at the boundaries of measured areas are always the subject of deductions irrespective of size. Junctions between straight, raking or curved work are in all cases included with the work in which they occur.
