| 1. ORDINARY MEASUREMENT BOOK: It is an initial record of all kinds of works which are susceptible to measurements. In these book entries regarding the work done, supplies made are recorded for the purpose of making payments the contractors. SPECIMEN FORM OF MEASUREMENT BOOK Name of work Location of the work site Name of agency executing the work Date of agreement and its No And Reference of previous measurements. Sl no Particulars Details of actual measurement Area No Length Breadth Depth 2. STANDARD MEASUREMENT BOOK In the department there are some buildings which are repaired periodically and the quantities of various items of work remain unchanged from year to year. Jn such cases of repair works to save the trouble of measuring books of such building. Thus the measurement book in which in which standard measurements are recorded is known as standard measurement book. 1. It facilities the preparation of estimates for repairs work from time to time. 2. It simplifies the preparation of the contractor's bill as it is not necessary to take detailed measurements every time. 3. Check measurement book In order to check the measurements made by the sectional officer or junior Engineer/Overseer, a check measurements book is kept by the Sub Divisional officer. Some portions of the measurement which are recorded by sectional Officer will be checked by A.E and E.E in the presence of section Officer so that, there is a control over the contractor. A.E.E checks 25% and E.E can check 8 to 50% of each Sub- Division INTERNSHIP REPORT Department of civil engineering Page 38 in case of civil works. The difference allowed should not exceed 17% and for earthwork should not exceed 10% and for repair work 5%. If the difference exceeds the limit, the measurements are taken again by A.E.E and also the matter is reported to the higher authority for the necessary action.

All measurements should betaken using the steel or metallic tape and entered in ink directly in the measurement book. Copying the measurement book from the notebook should be strictly avoided. • Erasing or reentering are not allowed, the mistakes should be crossed out and correct entry done should be attested by dated initials of Engineer who has taken the measurement. • When any measurement is cancelled, then cancellation should be attested by dated initials of officer and reason for cancellation should be mentioned. INTERNSHIP REPORT Department of civil engineering Page 39 • All the measurements should be done continuously without leaving any blank page. If blank page is left out by mistake that should be cancelled by drawing and diagonal lines attested with dated initials. • The person recorded the measurement shall put his signature at the end of the measurement book certifying measured by me. • Each measured book should be provided with an index and kept up-to-date. COMMON IRREGULARITIES IN WRITING MEASUREMENT BOOK. • Agreement number is not written on the top of the measurements. • Tempering of original entries by erasures and over writings. • Entries in the measurement book interpolated and corrected and the amount of the bill is also changed after the original preparation of the bill. • Blank spaces are left at the bottom of the pages and in between the lines of the measurement. • Entries in the measurement book are not recorded at the site of work, but copied from some other record. • Entries originally are made in pencil and inked over afterwards. * Full particulars of work are not given and the name of the work does not tally with the sub-divisional, officer's pay order or the clerk's • Payments are made without the sub-divisional, officer's pay order or the clerkscertificate of check. • Percentage of checks by senior officers is inadequate. Correction are not attested. Voucher number and date not indicated after making the payment. Index of the measurement book is not up-to-date. TYPES AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENTS Structural steel buildings, in particular medical office buildings have a somewhat standard design concept that must be developed by the engineers. Column spacing must be developed, and in conjunction with the floor - floor height, the engineer must develop steel members that will support and carry the buildings anticipated loads. By understanding the loads for different building types, the estimator can begin to develop a confident and reliable estimate at the design development stage of design. The level of detail available depends on the design team and the submittal, however typically by this point the columns and grid will be INTERNSHIP REPORT Department of civil engineering Page 40 laid outwith initial beam and column si7.es being determined. The floor - floor heights will also be as this point, so obtaining accurate quantities should be expected. The estimator can now determine quantities of different beams and columns types, such as wide flange (W) beams and columns, tube steel (HSS) beams and columns, angles (L, channels (C, and other miscellaneous types used in a variety of situations. Atypical wide Uange beam or column will be referenced by its nominal height in inches, as well as the weight per linear foot. For example, a W21x44 denotes at beam that is nominally 21 inches high and weighs 44 pounds per linear foot. Standard tables, such as those found in the AISC Manual of Steel Construction, are used to determine weight per linear foot for other miscellaneous shapes such as angles (Land tube steel (HSS). Steel floor and roof decking is measured in square footage, using either traditional manual takeoff methods, or using an electronic plan digitizer such as On-Screen takeoff. An allowance is typically made for miscellaneous connections and undefined steel members that can be reasonable be assumed at this stage of design. Structural steel is taken off in pounds and typically priced in tons. The ratio analysis workups are easier undertaken and scrutinized in pounds.
