To introduce the basic skills of
measurement. Conditions of contract will
generally nominate a set of rules of

measurement skills devolves on the correct
interpretation of these rules as well as with
unambiguous and repeatable sets of
measurements resulting in quantities of work
in place.
Understand and apply the standard rules
for measurement. Standard Method of
Measurement (SMM).
Interpret drawings and recognise items of
work in place and categories then into
elements.
Demonstrate the booking of dimensions
in a neat and orderly fashion using the
Trade-by-Trade Method of taking-off.
Understand the difference between the
Trade-by-Trade and Group methods of
taking-off.
Prepare of draft Bill of Quantities (BQ) for
some of the more basic forms of
construction.
