TRANSCRIPT
NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works
The RICS new rules of measurement (NRM) is a suite of documents issued by the RICS QuantitySurveying and Construction Professional Group.
The rules have been written to provide a standard set of measurement rules that are understandable byall those involved in a construction project. They provide advice and best practice guidance to RICSmembers involved in the cost management of construction projects worldwide.
This volume, NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works, provides detailed rules for themeasurement and description of building works for the purpose of obtaining tender prices. The rulesaddress all aspects of bill of quantities production, including setting out the information required from theemployer and other construction consultants to enable a bill of quantities to be prepared, as well asdealing with the quantification of non-measurable work items, contractor designed works and risks.Guidance is also provided on the content, structure and format of bill of quantities, as well as the benefitsand uses of bill of quantities.
Moreover, the rules can be used for bill of quantities for both main contract works and for discrete workpackages – including separate preliminaries for both.
Although written primarily for the preparation of bill of quantities and quantified schedules of works, therules will be invaluable when designing and developing standard or bespoke schedules of rates, or otherquantity-based pricing document.
These rules provide essential guidance to all those involved in the preparation of bill of quantities,quantified schedules of works, schedules of rates and similar pricing documents, as well as those whowish to be better informed about the purpose, use and benefits of adopting detailed measurement oftheir cost control procedures.
The RICS new rules of measurement are based on UK practice but the requirements for a coordinatedset of rules and underlying philosophy behind each volume have worldwide application.

NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
Foreword
The measurement initiative steering group was set up by the RICS quantity surveying and constructionprofessional group to research the problems associated with the measurement of building works at all stagesof the design and construction process. The steering group quickly came to the conclusion that significantimprovements where required.
The development units on measurement set up by the measurement initiative steering group have produceda suite of documents covering all aspects of the measurement and description of a building project – from‘cradle to grave’.
This volume, RICS new rules of measurement: Detailed measurement for building works (‘NRM 2’), providesfundamental guidance on the quantification and description of building works for the purpose of preparingbill of quantities and quantified schedules of works; it also provides a sound basis for designing and developingstandard or bespoke schedules of rates. Direction on how to deal with items that are unquantifiable is alsoprovided – e.g. preliminaries, overheads and profit, contractor designed works, risk transfer and fluctuations.
The RICS new rules of measurement: Detailed measurement for building works provides a uniform basis formeasuring and describing building works and embodies the essentials of good practice.
NRM 2 replaces the Standard Method of Measurement for Building Works (‘SMM’), which was first published byRICS in 1922, with the latest edition being SMM7, published in 1988.
This first edition will become operative on 1 January 2013 and is post dated accordingly.

NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
Introduction
Status of the RICS new rules of measurementThese rules have the status of a guidance note. Where recommendations are made for specificprofessional tasks, these are intended to represent ‘best practice’, i.e. recommendations which inthe opinion of RICS meet a high standard of professional competence.
Although members are not required to follow the recommendations contained in the note, theyshould take into account the following points.
When an allegation of professional negligence is made against a surveyor, a court or tribunal maytake account of the contents of any relevant guidance notes published by RICS in deciding whetheror not the member had acted with reasonable competence.
In the opinion of RICS, a member conforming to the practices recommended in this note shouldhave at least a partial defence to an allegation of negligence if they have followed those practices.However, members have the responsibility of deciding when it is inappropriate to follow theguidance.
It is for each surveyor to decide on the appropriate procedure to follow in any professional task.However, where members do not comply with the practice recommended in this note, they shoulddo so only for a good reason. In the event of a legal dispute, a court or tribunal may require themto explain why they decided not to adopt the recommended practice. Also, if members have notfollowed this guidance, and their actions are questioned in an RICS disciplinary case, they will beasked to explain the actions they did take and this may be taken into account by the Panel.
In addition, guidance notes are relevant to professional competence in that each member should beup to date and should have knowledge of guidance notes within a reasonable time of their cominginto effect.

The RICS new rules of measurement (NRM) suite ofdocuments in contextThe RICS new rules of measurement (NRM) is a suite of documents issued by the RICS QuantitySurveying and Construction Professional Group.The rules have been written to provide a standardset of measurement rules that are understandable by anyone involved in a construction project.
The rules provide essential guidance to all those involved in, as well as those who wish to be betterinformed about, the cost management of construction projects. Although the RICS new rules ofmeasurement are principally based on UK practice, the requirements for a coordinated set of rulesand underlying philosophy behind each volume have worldwide application.
+ NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works
+ NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works
+ NRM 3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for building maintenance works.
The NRM suite comprises the following three volumes:
NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital buildingworks
This volume provides indispensable guidance on the quantification of building works for thepurpose of preparing cost estimates and cost plans. Direction on how to quantify other itemsforming part of the cost of a construction project, but which are not reflected in the measurablebuilding work items, is also provided – i.e. preliminaries, overheads and profit, project team anddesign team fees, risk allowances, inflation, and other development and project costs.
NRM 1 is the ‘cornerstone’ of good cost management of construction projects – enabling moreeffective and accurate cost advice to be given to clients and other project team members, as well asfacilitating better cost control.
Although written primarily for the preparation of order of cost estimates and cost plans, the ruleswill be invaluable when preparing approximate estimates.
In addition, the rules can be used as a basis for capturing historical cost data in the form requiredfor order of cost estimates and elemental cost plans, thereby completing the ‘cost managementcycle’.
NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works
This volume provides fundamental guidance on the detailed measurement and description ofbuilding works for the purpose of obtaining a tender price.The rules address all aspects of bill ofquantities (BQ) production, including setting out the information required from the employer andother construction consultants to enable a BQ to be prepared, as well as dealing with thequantification of non-measurable work items, contractor designed works and risks. Guidance isalso provided on the content, structure and format of BQ, as well as the benefits and uses of BQ.
While written mainly for the preparation of bill of quantities, quantified schedules of works andquantified work schedules, the rules will be invaluable when designing and developing standard orbespoke schedules of rates.
These rules provide essential guidance to all those involved in the preparation of bill of quantities,as well as those who wish to be better informed about the purpose, use and benefits of bill ofquantities.
NRM 3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for buildingmaintenance works
This volume provides essential guidance on the quantification and description of maintenanceworks for the purpose of preparing initial order of cost estimates during the preparation stages ofa building project, cost plans during the design development and pre-construction stages, anddetailed, asset-specific cost plans during the pre-construction phases of a building project. Theguidance provided by the rules also aids the procurement and cost control of maintenance works.
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
2 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
The rules follow the same framework and premise as NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and costplanning for capital building works. Consequently, they give direction on how to quantify and measureother items associated with maintenance works, but which are not reflected in the measurablemaintenance work items – i.e. maintenance contractor’s management and administration charges,overheads and profit, other maintenance-related costs, consultants’ fees and risks in connectionwith maintenance works.
Unlike capital building works projects, maintenance works are required to be carried out from theday a building or asset is put to use until the end of its life.Accordingly, while the costs of a capitalbuilding works project are usually incurred by the building owner/developer over a relativelyshort-term, costs in connection with maintenance works are incurred throughout the life of thebuilding – over the long-term. Consequently, the rules provide guidance on the measurement andcalculation of the time value of money, guidance on using the measured data to inform life cycle ofcost plans and forward maintenance plans, as well as VAT, and taxation.
NRM 3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for building maintenance works, together with NRM1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works, presents the basis of good costmanagement of capital building works and maintenance works – enabling more effective andaccurate cost advice to be given to clients and other project team members, as well as facilitatingbetter cost control.

Part 1: General
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 5
Part 1: General1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 This part places detailed measurement for bill of quantities, schedules of works and work schedulesin context with the RIBA Outline Plan of Work and the OGC Gateway Process; and explains thesymbols, abbreviations and definitions used in the rules.
1.2 Measurement in context with the RIBA Plan ofWork and OGC Gateway Process
1.2.1 Throughout this document, references are made to both the RIBA Plan of Work and the OGCGateway Process and the RIBA Work Stages/OGC Gateways within.
1.2.2 The RIBA Plan of Work is a construction industry recognised framework that organises theprocess of managing and designing building projects and administering building contracts into anumber of key work stages.The RIBA Plan of Work has 11 sequential steps known as ‘RIBA WorkStages’. Despite its apparent linear nature, it should be recognised that the sequence or content ofthe RIBA Work Stages may need to be varied or overlapped to suit the proposed procurementmethod. Consequently, when two or more RIBA Work Stages are combined, it is not alwaystransparent when a building project is moving from one stage to another.As such, it is an ideal tool,provided that it is conceptualised as providing the basic outline of the building project process.
1.2.3 As an alternative to the RIBA Plan of Work, central civil government, the health sector, localgovernment and the defence sector have adopted the OGC Gateway Process as best practice formanaging and designing building projects. The process examines programmes and projects at keydecision-points in their lifecycle. It looks ahead to provide assurance that the employer canprogress to the next stage. Project reviews are carried out under OGC Gateway reviews 1 to 5.Typically, a project will undergo three reviews before commitment to invest, and two looking atservice implementation and confirmation of the operational benefits.
1.2.4 Both the RIBA Plan of Work and the OGC Gateway Process are recognised frameworks formanaging and designing building projects.
1.2.5 The point at which measurement is carried out by the quantity surveyor/cost manager for thepurpose of preparing bill of quantities, or quantified schedule of works, in the context of the RIBAWork Stages and OGC Gateways is shown in Figure 1.1.
1.2.6 Bill of quantities are prepared by the quantity surveyor/cost manager at RIBA Work Stage G(Tender Documentation).
1.2.7 The project stages from the RIBA Outline Plan of Work 2007 (overleaf) are reproduced with thepermission of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Note: A prerequisite of OGC Gateway Review 3: Investment Decision, is that the design brief, concept designand detailed design have been approved and signed off by the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO). For thepurpose of comparing the OGC Gateway Process with the RIBA Work Stages, these two decision points arereferred to as OGC Gateway 3A (Design Brief and Concept Approval) and OGC Gateway 3B (DetailedDesign Approval); with OGC Gateway 3C representing the final OGC Gateway Review 3 (InvestmentDecision).

1.3 Purpose of NRM 2
1.3.1 RICS new rules of measurement: Detailed measurement for building works has been written to providea standard set of measurement rules for the procurement of building works that areunderstandable by all those involved in a construction project, including the employer; therebyaiding communication between the project/design team and the employer.
1.3.2 The document provides rules of measurement for the preparation of bill of quantities andschedules of works (quantified).The rules also provide a framework, which can be used to developbespoke and standard schedules of rates.
1.3.3 The rules address all aspects of bill of quantities (BQ) production, including setting out theinformation required from the employer and other construction consultants to enable a BQ to beprepared, as well as dealing with the quantification of non-measurable work items, contractordesigned works and risks. Guidance is also provided on the content, structure and format of BQ
1.3.4 The RICS new rules of measurement suite of documents is based on UK practice but therequirements for a coordinated set of rules and underlying philosophy behind each section haveworldwide application.
1.4 Use of NRM 2
1.4.1 The RICS new rules of measurement: Detailed measurement for building works provides a structuredbasis for measuring building work and presents a consistent approach for dealing with other keycost components associated with a building project when preparing bill of quantities and quantifiedschedule of works.The rules represent the essentials of good practice.
1.4.2 The rules address both the production of bill of quantities (BQ) for entire building project and fordiscrete work packages. They can also be used to prepare quantified schedules of works andquantified work schedules.
1.4.3 In addition, the framework can be used to construct both bespoke and standard schedules of ratesfor the purpose of:
(1) Discrete contracts;
(2) Term contracts; and
(3) Framework arrangements.
1.4.4 Users of the rules are advised to adopt metric units as the standard system of measurement.Where the employer requires reference to imperial units these may be provided as supplementaryinformation (e.g. in parenthesis).
1.4.5 Although the British Standard BS 8888:2006 Technical Product Specification (for defining, specifyingand graphically representing products) recommends the inclusion of a comma rather than a pointas a decimal marker, and a space instead of a comma as a thousands separator, the traditional UKconvention has been adopted in these rules (i.e. a point as a decimal marker and a comma as athousands separator). Users should take care to ensure that this does not conflict with employerrequirements.
1.5 Structure of NRM 2

1.6.3 Definitions
Bill of quantities (BQ) – means a list of items giving detailed identifying descriptions and firmquantities of the work comprised in a contract.
Cost breakdown structure (CBS) – in the context of bill of quantities, represents the financialbreakdown of a building project into cost targets for elements or work packages.
Cost target – in the context of bill of quantities, means the total expenditure for an element orwork package.
Credit – means a refund offered by the contractor to the employer in return for the benefit oftaking ownership of materials, goods, items, mechanical and electrical plant and equipment, etc.arising from demolition or strip out works.
Daywork – means the method of valuing work on the basis of time spent by the contractor’sworkpeople, the materials used and the plant employed.
Defined provisional sum – means a sum provided for work which is not completely designedbut for which the following information shall be provided:
– the nature and construction of the work;
– a statement of how and where the work is fixed to the building and what other work is to befixed thereto;
– a quantity or quantities that indicate the scope and extent of the work; and
– any specific limitations and the like identified.
Design team – means architects, engineers and technology specialists responsible for theconceptual design aspects of a building, structure or facility and their development into drawings,specifications and instructions required for construction and associated processes.The design teamis a part of the project team.
Director’s adjustment – means a reduction or addition to the tender price, derived by thecontractor’s estimating team, offered by the director(s) of the contractor.
Employer – means the owner and/or the developer of the building; in some cases the ultimateuser. The terms Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) and project sponsor are used by central civilgovernment and the defence sector; being the representatives empowered to manage the buildingproject and make project-specific decisions. For the purpose of these measurement rules, the term‘employer’ will also be used interchangeably with Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) or projectsponsor.
Fixed charge – is for work, the cost of which is to be considered independent of duration.
PART 1: GENERAL
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 11
Main contractor (or prime contractor) – means the contractor responsible for the totalconstruction and completion process of the building project.The term ‘prime contractor’ is oftenused in central civil government and the defence sector to mean ‘main contractor’.
Main contract preliminaries – are items that cannot be allocated to a specific element,sub-element or component. Main contract preliminaries include the main contractor’s costsassociated with management and staff, site establishment, temporary services, security, safety andenvironmental protection, control and protection, common user mechanical plant, common usertemporary works, the maintenance of site records, completion and post-completion requirements,cleaning, fees and charges, sites services and insurances, bonds, guarantees and warranties. Maincontractors’ preliminaries exclude costs associated with subcontractors’ or work packagecontractors’ preliminaries.
OGC Gateway Process – is a process that examines programmes and projects at keydecision-points in their lifecycle. It looks ahead to provide assurance that the employer canprogress to the next stage. Project reviews are carried under OGC Gateway reviews 1 to 5.Typically, a project will undergo three reviews before a commitment to invest, and two looking atservice implementation and confirmation of the operational benefits.The process is best practice incentral civil government, the health sector, local government and the defence sector.The emphasisof the OGC Gateway Process is to examine the business case, which requires an assessment of thetotal development cost of the building project.
OGC Gateways (or OGC Gateway) – are key decision points within the OGC GatewayProcess.
Other development/project costs – means costs that are not necessarily directly associatedwith the cost of constructing the building, but form part of the total cost of the building project tothe employer (e.g. land acquisition costs, fees for letting agents, marketing costs and contributionsassociated with planning permissions).
Overheads and profit – means the contractor’s costs associated with head office administration,proportioned to each building contact, plus the main contractor’s return on capital investment.
Post tender estimate – means a cost estimate carried out after the evaluation of tenders tocorroborate the funds required by the employer to complete the building project.
Pre-tender estimate – means a cost estimate prepared immediately before calling tenders forconstruction.
Preliminaries – see main contract preliminaries and work package contract preliminaries.
Provisional quantity – means a quantity which cannot be accurately determined (i.e. an estimateof the quantity).
Provisional sum – means a sum of money set aside to carry out work that cannot be describedand given in quantified items in accordance with the tabulated rules of measurement.A provisionalsum will be identified as either ‘defined’ or ‘undefined’ (see definitions of ‘Defined provisional sums’and ‘Undefined’.
Prime cost sum (PC Sum) – means a sum of money included in a unit rate to be expended onmaterials or goods from suppliers (e.g. ceramic wall tiles at £36.00/m or door furniture at£75.00/door). It is a supply only rate for materials or goods where the precise quality of thosematerials and goods are unknown. PC Sums exclude all costs associated with fixing or installation,all ancillary and sundry materials and goods required for the fixing or installation of the materialsor goods, subcontractor’s design fees, subcontractor’s preliminaries, subcontractor’s overheads andprofit, Main Contractor’s design fees, preliminaries and overheads and profit.
Residual risk (or retained risk) – means the risks retained by the employer.
RIBA Outline Plan of Work summarises the deliverables required under each RIBA WorkStage.
RIBA Plan of Work – is a model procedure dealing with basic steps in decision making for amedium-sized building project. The RIBA Plan of Work sets out a logical structure for buildingprojects, starting with the brief and ending with post-occupancy evaluation.The procedures identifythe responsibilities of the design team at each stage of the design and contract administration

process. Each step is referred to as a RIBA Work Stage.The full title of the RIBA Plan of Work isThe Architect’s Plan of Work, published by RIBA, but it is commonly known and referred to as theRIBA Plan of Work in the building construction industry.
RIBA Work Stage – means the stage into which the process of designing building projects andadministering building contracts may be divided. Some variations of the RIBA Work Stages apply fordesign and build procurement.
Statutory undertaker – means organisations, such as water, gas, electricity andtelecommunications companies, that are authorised by statute to construct and operate publicutility undertakings.
Subcontractor – means a contractor employed by the main contractor to undertake specificwork within the building project; also known as specialist, works, trade, work package, and labouronly contractors.
Time-related charge – is for work, the cost of which is to be considered dependent onduration.
Undefined provisional sum – means a sum provided for work that is not completely designed,but for which the information required for a defined provisional sum cannot be provided.
Work breakdown structure (WBS) – in the context of bill of quantities, is used to sub-dividea building project into meaningful elements or work packages.
Work package contractor – a specialist contractor who undertakes particular identifiableaspects of work within the building project; e.g. ground works, cladding, mechanical engineeringservices, electrical engineering services, lifts, soft landscape works or labour only. Depending on thecontract strategy, works contractors can be employed directly by the employer or by the maincontractor.
Work package contract preliminaries – are preliminaries that relate specifically to the workthat is to be carried out by a work package contractor.

Part 2: Rules for detailedmeasurement of building works2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Part 2 of the rules describes the purpose and uses of NRM 2: Detailed measurement for buildingworks; describes the types of bill of quantities (BQ); gives guidance on the preparation andcomposition of BQ; and defines the information required to enable a BQ to be prepared. Part 2also sets out the rules of measurement of building items, and the rules for dealing withpreliminaries, non-measurable works, and contractor designed works, as well as risks, overheadsand profit, and credits.
2.1.2 In addition, Part 2 of the rules deals with other aspects of BQ production, including pricefluctuations, director’s adjustments, daywork and value added tax. Guidance is also provided on thecodification of BQ, the use of BQ for cost control and cost management, and the analysis of a BQto provide cost data.
2.2 Purpose of bill of quantities
2.2.1 The primary purposes of a bill of quantities (BQ), which becomes a contract document, are:
+ to provide a co-ordinated list of items, together with their identifying descriptions andquantities, that comprise the works to enable contractors to prepare tenders efficiently andaccurately; and
+ when a contract has been entered into, to:
– provide a basis for the valuation of work executed for the purpose of making interimpayments to the contractor; and.
– provide a basis for the valuation of varied work.
2.2.2 Essentially, a BQ is a list of the items with detailed identifying descriptions and quantities, whichmake up the component parts of a building.
2.3 Benefits of bill of quantities
2.3.1 Irrespective of what contract strategy is used, at some stage in the procurement process one partywill need to quantify the extent of works to be executed; whether it be the employer’s quantitysurveyor/cost manager, the main contractor or the work package contractors for the purpose ofobtaining a price for completing building works, valuing the extent of work complete for purposesof payment, valuing variations in the content or extent of building works, or to support applicationsfor tax or other financial incentives. Consequently, detailed measurement for the purpose of bill ofquantities (BQ) production is beneficial for a number of reasons:
+ it saves the cost and time of several contractors measuring the same design in order tocalculate their bids for competition;
+ it provides a consistent basis for obtaining competitive bids;
+ it provides an extensive and clear statement of the work to be executed;
+ it provides a very strong basis for budgetary control and accurate cost reporting of thecontract (i.e. post contract cost control), including:
– the preparation of cash flow forecasts,
– a basis for valuing variations, and
– a basis for the preparation of progress payments (i.e. interim payments);
+ it allows, when BQ items are codified, reconciliation and any necessary transfers andadjustments to be made to the cost plan;
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 17
+ when priced, it provides data to support claims for tax benefits (e.g. capital allowances andvalue added tax (VAT));
+ when priced, it provides data to support claims for grants; and
+ it provides one of the best sources of real-time cost data, which can be used for estimating thecost of future building projects (i.e. historic cost information (see 2.17)) as it provides a costmodel in a single document.
2.4 Types of bill of quantities
2.4.1 The use of bill of quantities in support of a contract is the traditional and proven means of securinga lump-sum price for undertaking building works. Bill of quantities (BQ) can be:
+ firm (to obtain a lump-sum price for a fully designed building project); or
+ approximate (subject to remeasurement as built).
2.4.2 Firm bill of quantities:
2.4.2.1 The reliability of the tender price will increase in relation to the accuracy of the quantitiesprovided (i.e. the more precisely the work is measured and described). In theory, were there nodesign changes, then a firm BQ would provide a price at tender stage, which would equal the finalcost. In practice there will be changes, and the BQ provides a good basis for cost control, since thedirect cost of change can be assessed with reference to the BQ rates.
2.4.2.2 The firmer the BQ the better it is as a means of financial control.
2.4.3 Approximate bill of quantities:
2.4.3.1 Approximate BQ are used when there is insufficient detail to prepare firm BQ or where it isdecided by the employer that the time or cost of a firm BQ is not warranted. Such contracts donot provide a lump-sum price, but rather tender price totals (i.e. a quantified schedule of rates),since the quantities are subject to re-measurement on completion by the quantity surveyor/costmanager. These contracts are usually subject to greater variation than lump sum contracts andtherefore should only be used where time is a limiting factor or where there is great uncertainty inrespect of certain elements, such as major excavation and earthworks.
2.4.3.2 The initial resource cost of an approximate BQ is likely to be lower than for a firm BQ, but theneed for re-measurement invariably results in an overall higher resource cost.
2.4.3.3 Although the quantities are approximate, the descriptions of work items should be correct.
2.5 Preparation of bill of quantities
2.5.1 Bill of quantities (BQ) are produced at ‘RIBA Work Stage G (Tender Documentation)’ or as anintrinsic part of ‘OGC Gateway 3C (Investment Decision)’.The requirements of RIBA Work StageG, as described in the RIBA Outline Plan of Work, are as follows:
Preparation and/or collation of tender documentation in sufficient detail to enable a tender ortenders to be obtained for the project.
2.5.2 To enable the preparation of BQ, the information resulting from RIBA Work Stages E (TechnicalDesign) and F (Production Information) will be required.The requirements of RIBA Work Stages Eand F, as described in the RIBA Outline Plan of Work, are as follows:
Preparation of technical design(s) and specifications, sufficient to co-ordinate components andelements of the project and information for statutory standards and construction safety.
F1 Preparation of production information in sufficient detail to enable a tender or tenders to beobtained.

F2 Application for statutory approvals. Preparation of further information for construction requiredunder the building contract.
Project stages from the RIBA Outline Plan of Work 2007 (Amended November 2008), copyrightRoyal Institute of British Architects, are reproduced here with the permission of the RIBA.
2.5.3 The processes defined by RIBA Work Stages E (Technical Design), F (Production Information) andG (Tender Documentation) are commensurate with the processes required to meet therequirements of OGC Gateway 3C (Investment Decision).
2.5.4 The information and documents required for the preparation of BQ are described in paragraph2.14 of these rules.
2.5.5 BQ required for a lump sum contract based on firm or approximate quantities will normally beprepared by the employer’s quantity surveyor/cost manager, whereas under a design and buildcontract, the employer’s project team will prepare the ‘employer’s requirements’ and the BQ orquantified schedules of work will be prepared by either the main contractor or, more likely, themain contractor’s work package contractors.The choice of who quantifies building works is solelydown to the employer’s preference of contract strategy (see Figure 2.1 below).

2.6 Composition of a bill of quantities
2.6.1 Bill of quantities (BQ) usually comprise the following sections:
+ Form of Tender (including certificate of bona fide tender);
+ Summary (or Main Summary);
+ Preliminaries, comprising two sections as follows:
– Information and requirements; and
– Pricing schedule;
+ Measured work (incorporating contractor designed works);
+ Risks;
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 19
+ Provisional sums;
+ Credits (for materials arising from the works);
+ Dayworks (Provisional); and
+ Annexes.
2.6.2 Form of tender:
2.6.2.1 This is a document that is used to record the main contractor’s price for completing the buildingproject (i.e. his tender price). If accepted by the employer, the tender price will become the‘contract sum’.The form of tender can be a separate document.
2.6.2.2 A separate ‘certificate of bona fide tender’, which is completed by the main contractor to confirmthat he has not communicated his tender to other parties, is sometimes inserted after the form oftender. Alternatively, the employer’s requirements for confirming that bona fide tender has beensubmitted by the main contractor can be incorporated in the form of tender.
2.6.3 Summary (or main summary):
2.6.3.1 The summary, sometimes called the main summary, is made at either the front or end of the bill ofquantities and comprises a list of the bill that form the entire bill of quantities.The total price foreach section of the bill of quantities (BQ) is carried forwarded and inserted against the applicableitem listed in the summary. For example, a summary for an elemental bill will address all or someof the following:
+ Preliminaries;
+ Measured works (including ‘Contractor Designed Works’:
– Facilitating works
– Substructure
– Superstructure
– Internal finishes
– Fittings, furnishings and equipment
– Services
– Complete buildings
– Works to existing buildings
– External works
+ Risks;
+ Provisional sums:
– Defined
– Undefined
+ Works to be carried out by statutory undertakers;
+ Overheads and profit;
+ Credits (for materials arising from the works);
+ Fixed price adjustment;
+ Director’s adjustment;
+ Dayworks (Provisional);
+ Total price (to Form of Tender).
2.6.3.2 Where the measured work has been divided into work sections, the work sections will be listedinstead of elements.
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
20 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
2.6.3.3 At the end of the summary, provision is made to total the list to ascertain the total price andtransfer the total to the form of tender, which, subject to verification and any necessaryadjustments, will become the contract sum referred to by the conditions of contract.
2.6.4 Preliminaries:
2.6.4.1 Preliminaries address and communicate to the contractor items that are not directly related to anycomponent, element, or work section (i.e. measured works).The information provided will enablethe contractor to ascertain his or her price for, among other things, management of the buildingproject, site establishment, security, safety, environmental protection and common user mechanicalplant, as well as the employer’s completion and post-completion requirements. Preliminaries aredivided into two sections as follows:
2.6.4.2 Information and requirements:
The purpose of the information and requirements section is to describe the building projectparticulars; the drawings upon which the bill of quantities was based; the work in general; the siteand any adjoining properties; the form of contract and any amendments and/or supplementaryconditions to the form of contract; the employer’s specific requirements; and any specificlimitations or restrictions that might impact on the sequence and/or method of working. It alsocontains information on how to interpret the bill of quantities, including any special methods ofmeasurement (i.e. where the method of measurement has deviated from NRM 2: Detailedmeasurement for building works).
2.6.4.3 Pricing schedule:
The pricing schedule is simply a schedule in which the contractor inserts preliminary costs relatingto the employer’s requirements, and all contractor cost items (including management and staff, siteaccommodation, services and facilities, mechanical plant, and temporary works items). Thequantification of preliminaries is dealt with in paragraph 2.7.
2.6.5 Measured work:
2.6.5.1 This is the main part of the bill of quantities, which lists all the items of work to be undertaken.Thequantities and descriptions of items should be determined in accordance with the tabulated rulesof measurement in Part 3 (Tabulated rules for the measurement of building works) of these rules.Various methods can be used to present the measured work (i.e. bill breakdown structures – seeparagraph A.1 at Appendix A: Guidance on the preparation of bill of quantities).
2.6.5.2 The rules relating to the quantification and description of measured work are given inparagraph 2.8.
2.6.6 Risks:
2.6.6.1 This section comprises a list of residual risks (i.e. unexpected expenditure arising from risks thatmaterialise, for example, disposal of contaminated ground material), which the employer wishes totransfer to the contractor.The contractor is required to provide a lump-sum fixed price for taking,managing and dealing with the consequences of the identified risk should it materialise.
2.6.6.2 The rules relating to the quantification and description of risk are given in paragraph 2.10.
2.6.7 Provisional sums:
2.6.7.1 Provisional sums are sums included for any items of work that are anticipated, but for which nofirm design has been developed, including any sums listed for any items of work that are to beexecuted by a statutory undertaker.
2.6.7.2 This part of the BQ, therefore, lists items of work that cannot be entirely foreseen or detailedaccurately at the time tenders are invited (i.e. non-measurable items). Pre-determined sums ofmoney are set against each item, determined by the quantity surveyor/cost manager, to cover theircost.
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 21
2.6.7.3 The rules relating to provisional sums are given in paragraph 2.9.1.
2.6.8 Credits (for materials arising from the works):
2.6.8.1 This section of the BQ comprises a list of materials arising from the works for which the employerrequires the contractor to offer a credit.
2.6.8.2 The rules relating to the quantification and description of credits are given in paragraph 2.12.
2.6.9 Dayworks (Provisional):
2.6.9.1 This section of the BQ gives provision for the contractor to competitively tender rates and pricesfor works, which might be instructed to be carried out on a daywork basis.
2.6.9.2 The rules relating to time-charged work carried out on the basis of daywork rates are given inparagraph 2.13.3 below.
2.6.10 Annexes:
The annexes comprise information referred to in the BQ where it is not contained in, or to beissued as, a separate document. Examples are: performance specifications (if not included in projectspecification); copies of quotations; and copies of communications with statutory undertakers.
2.7 Preliminaries
2.7.1 For the most part, preliminaries are the cost of administering a project and providing plant, sitestaff, facilities site-based services, and other items not included in the rates for measured works.
2.7.2 Preliminaries are divided into two categories:
(1) preliminaries (main contract)
(2) preliminaries (works package contract).
2.7.3 Preliminaries (main contract) are divided into two discrete sections:
(1) information and requirements; and
(2) pricing schedule.
2.7.3.1 Information and requirements:
This is the descriptive part of the preliminaries (main contract), which:
(1) sets out the project particulars (e.g. the project title, the site address and the names andcontact details of the employer and the employer’s project team);
(2) identifies the drawings upon which the bill of quantities was based;
(3) depicts the boundary of the construction site;
(4) provides information about existing buildings and existing mains services on or adjacent tothe site, and about any existing records that will inform the main contractor of any known orpotential hazards that need to be considered;
(5) identifies known constraints and restrictions that might impact on the main contractor’smethodology for constructing the building or buildings;
(6) describes the building project in general;
(7) specifies the standard form of contract, together with the contract particulars and anyamendments and/or supplementary or special conditions to the standard form of contract,which is to be entered into by the contracting parties; as well as the employer’s requirementsin respect of insurances, parent company guarantees, performance bonds and collateralwarranties;
(8) explains the documents provided, their content and how they are to be used;
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
22 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
(9) confirms the method of measurement (i.e. NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works),how to interpret the bill of quantities, and any special methods of measurement (i.e. wherethe method of measurement has deviated from the specified rules);
(10) sets out the employer’s specific requirements in respect of:
(a) management of the works by the main contractor, including progress reporting,programme management and cost reporting requirements;
(b) quality standards to be achieved, and quality control requirements, by the maincontractor, including inspection, testing and commissioning requirements;
(c) security, safety and protection measures to be provided by the main contractor;
(d) facilities, temporary works and services required by the employer;
(e) specific requirements such as advertising, the provision of a marketing suite or atopping out event;
(f) specific limitations on method, sequence, timing of the ‘works’ imposed by theemployer, including out of normal hours working and phasing requirements;
(g) operation and maintenance of the finished building, including operation andmaintenance (O&M) manuals, familiarisation training, tools, and spare parts; and
(h) post-completion requirements such as maintenance services.
Instructions to tendering contractors and other information relating to the tender process (e.g.information required to be submitted with tender submission, site visits, confidentiality, etc) formpart of the invitation documents, but will not form part of the contract documents. Therefore,these should be addressed in a separate document (e.g. Conditions of Tender).
The items to be considered when drafting the main contractor’s preliminaries are included in PartA of Table 1 (Preliminaries (main contract)) at Part 3:Tabulated rules for measurement.
2.7.3.2 Pricing schedule (quantification of main contractor’s preliminaries):
It is not possible for the quantity surveyor/cost manager to quantify the main contractor’spreliminaries.This is because it is for the contractor to interpret the information provided as partof the tender invitation documentation. From the information provided, the main contractor willascertain his method of working and the resources required to complete the building project, aswell as identify any other cost items that are to be recovered.
The preliminaries bill is therefore to include a pricing schedule that simply lists the headings underwhich the main contractor is to price his or her preliminaries items. Templates for preliminariespricing schedules (condensed and expanded versions) are included in Appendices B and C,respectively, of these rules.
The pricing schedule is a simple a list of cost centres incorporated in the bill of quantities in whichthe main contractor will insert his charges relating to preliminaries.
The pricing schedule for main contractors’ preliminaries is divided into two main cost centres:
(1) employer’s requirements; and
(2) main contractor’s cost items.
The items that comprise these two cost centres are listed and defined in Part B of Table 1(Preliminaries (main contract)) at Part 3:Tabulated rules for measurement of these rules.
Notwithstanding this, as part of the priced bill of quantities submitted by the main contractor, it isessential that the quantity surveyor/cost manager obtains a full and detailed breakdown that clearlyidentifies the items, shows how the price for each item has been calculated, and how the total pricefor preliminaries has been calculated.
Accordingly, as part of the conditions of tender, the quantity surveyor/cost manager should instructthe main contractor to return along with his or her tender a full and detailed breakdown thatshows how the main contractor’s total price for preliminaries has been calculated. It should berequested that the main contractor append this information to his priced bill of quantities. Toensure that the main contractor’s detailed supporting calculations are presented in an easy-to-read
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 23
and logical format, the main contractor should be instructed to ascertain the price for preliminariesin accordance with the rules of measurement for main contractor’s preliminaries (refer to Part B(Pricing schedule) of Table 1 (Preliminaries (main contract)) at Part 3: Tabulated rules formeasurement of these rules).
It is also essential that the quantity surveyor/cost manager makes it clear to the main contractor inthe preliminaries bill and/or preliminaries pricing schedule that costs relating to items that are notspecifically identified by the main contractor in his or her full and detailed breakdown will bedeemed to have no cost implications or have been included elsewhere within his or her rates andprices.
2.7.4 Preliminaries (works package contract):
2.7.4.1 Information:
The descriptive part of the work package contract preliminaries is prepared in the same way as themain contract preliminaries.The items to be considered when drafting the work package contractsare included in Part A of Table 1 (Preliminaries (works package contract) at Part 3:Tabulated rulesfor measurement of these rules.
2.7.4.2 Pricing schedule:
For the same reasons as for main contractor’s preliminaries, the preliminaries bill for a workspackage shall comprise a pricing schedule that lists the headings under which the work packagecontractor will insert his charges relating to preliminaries items. It is a simple schedule comprisinga list of cost centres.
The pricing schedule for work package contract preliminaries is divided into two main costcentres:
(1) employer’s requirements; and
(2) work package contractor’s cost items.
The items that comprise these two cost centres are listed and defined in Part B of Table 1(Preliminaries (works package contract)) at Part 3:Tabulated rules for measurement of these rules.
Again, as part of the priced bill of quantities submitted by the work package contractor, it isessential that the work package contractor is instructed to provide a full and detailed breakdownthat clearly identifies the items, shows how the price for each item has been calculated, and howthe total price for preliminaries has been calculated.
2.8 Measurement rules for building worksThe rules for measuring and describing building items/components are set out in the tabulatedrules of measurement rules for building works at Part 3 (Tabulated rules of measurement forbuilding works) of these rules.
2.9 Non-measurable works
2.9.1 Provisional sums:
2.9.1.1 Where building components/items cannot be measured and described in accordance with thetabulated rules of measurement they shall be given as a ‘provisional sum’ and identified as either‘defined work’ or ‘undefined work’ as appropriate.
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
24 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
2.9.1.2 A provisional sum for defined work is a sum provided for work that is not completely designed butfor which the following information shall be provided:
(1) the nature and construction of the work;
(2) a statement of how and where the work is fixed to the building and what other work is to befixed thereto;
(3) a quantity or quantities which indicate the scope and extent of the work; and
(4) any specific limitations identified.
2.9.1.3 Where provisional sums are given for defined work, the contractor will be deemed to have madedue allowance in his or her programming, planning and pricing preliminaries.
2.9.1.4 Where any aspect of the information required by paragraph 2.9.1.2 above cannot be given, workshall be described as an ‘undefined’ provisional sum. Where provisional sums are given forundefined work, the contractor will be deemed not to have made any allowance in programming,planning and pricing preliminaries.
2.9.1.5 Any provisional sum given for defined work that does not comprise the information requiredunder 2.9.1.2 above shall be construed as a provisional sum for undefined work; irrespective that itwas given in the BQ as a provisional sum for defined work.
2.9.1.6 Provisional sums shall be exclusive of overheads and profit. Separate provision is to be made in theBQ for overheads and profit (refer to paragraph 2.11).
2.9.2 Contractor designed works:
2.9.2.1 Contractor designed works include any works that require the contractor to undertake its design,whether directly or via a subcontractor.The employer shall be deemed responsible for works notclearly identified as contractor designed works.
2.9.2.2 Contractor designed work is sometimes referred to as the ‘Contractor Designed Portion (CDP)’.
2.9.2.3 Where the contractor is required to take responsibility for the design of discrete parts of thebuilding, such as piled foundations, windows, pre-cast concrete components, roof trusses and/ormechanical and electrical engineering services, the work items shall be identified as ‘contractordesigned works’.
2.9.2.4 The method of quantifying contractor designed work is dependent on the nature of the work.
2.9.2.5 Where contractor designed works can be measured and described in accordance with thetabulated rules of measurement (e.g. windows and pre-cast concrete components), theperformance objectives or criteria that the contractor will be required to meet are to be clearlydefined by way of a preamble to the work items that comprise the contractor designed works.Detailed documents defining the performance objectives and/or criteria to be met are to beincorporated as an annex to the bill of quantities (BQ) and clearly cross-referenced in thepreamble.
2.9.2.6 Where contractor designed works comprise a complete element or works package (e.g. the entiremechanical and electrical engineering services for the building), the works are to be measured anddescribed as one or more item. The number of items is at the discretion of the quantitysurveyor/cost manager but must be sufficient to provide an analysis of the price of the contractordesigned works. In the case of elemental BQ, the basis of analysis will be the elements defined inNRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works (see Figure 2.2).Irrespective of the structure of the analysis, it is essential that the quantity surveyor/cost managerobtains a full and detailed breakdown that clearly shows how the contractor has calculated hisprice for each item in the analysis.

NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
26 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
2.10 Risks
2.10.1 Risks generally:
2.10.1.1 Every building project involves risks and the proper management of risk saves time and money.Risks can occur at any point of a building project and it is essential that they are identified,assessed, monitored and controlled appropriately and effectively.
2.10.1.2 At the time of preparing a bill of quantities, a quantified schedule of works, or other quantity-baseddocuments, whether for a complete building project or discrete works package, there will still be anumber of risks remaining to be managed by the employer and his or her project team – this iscalled the employer’s residual risk exposure (or residual risks). A risk response should only bedecided after its possible causes and effects have been considered and fully understood. It will takethe form of one or more of the following:
+ risk transfer to the contractor;
+ risk sharing by both employer and contractor; or
+ risk retention by the employer.
2.10.1.3 Risks that can be designed out or avoided should have been addressed by this stage of the designdevelopment process. However, if time does not permit these risks to be designed out or properlydealt with, they will need to be dealt with using one of the above risk response strategies.
2.10.2 Risk transfer to the contractor:
2.10.2.1 The object of transferring risk is to pass the responsibility to another party able to control itbetter. If the risk materialises, the consequences are carried by the other party.
2.10.2.2 Whenever a risk is transferred there is usually a premium to be paid (effectively the contractor’svaluation of the cost of the risk). Risk transfer will usually give the employer price/cost certainty forthat aspect of the works. However, in return for price/cost certainty, the employer is required topay the risk premium to the contractor, irrespective of whether the risk transferred does or doesnot materialise.
2.10.2.3 Risks that the contractor is required to manage, should they materialise, are to be fully describedso that it is transparent what risk the contractor is required to manage, and what the extent ofservices and/or works the employer is paying for. Risks to be transferred to the contractor are tobe listed in the BQ under the heading ‘schedule of construction risks’.A template for a ‘schedule ofconstruction risks’ is in Appendix F of these rules.
2.10.2.4 The contractor will be deemed to have made due allowance in his risk allowances forprogramming, planning and pricing preliminaries.
2.10.2.5 Risk allowances inserted by the contractor shall be exclusive of overheads and profit. Separateprovision should be made in the BQ for overheads and profit (refer to paragraph 2.11 for furtherinformation).
2.10.3 Risk sharing by both employer and contractor:
2.10.3.1 Risk sharing occurs when a risk is not entirely transferred and some elements of it are retained bythe employer. It is important that both the employer and the contractor know the value of theportion of the risk for which they are responsible.The objective should be to improve control andto reduce or limit the cost of the risk to the employer, should it materialise.
2.10.3.2 The method of dealing with risks that are to be shared by both employer and contractor willnormally be dealt with using ‘provisional quantities’ with the pricing risk being taken by thecontractor and the quantification risk being taken by the employer.

2.10.4 Risk retention by the employer:
2.10.4.1 Where risks are to be retained by the employer, the applicable risk allowances included in the costplan will be retained and managed by the employer or, if empowered by the employer, the projectteam.
2.10.4.2 Before deciding to retain a particular risk, the employer might wish to find out what the premiumwill be if the contractor were to be paid for resolving the risk should it materialise. The employercan then decide whether or not to pay a premium for a defined scope of work. If the employer iscontent to pay a premium for transferring the risk, it is dealt with as a risk transfer in accordancewith paragraph 2.10.2 above.
2.10.4.3 Risks retained by an employer are not necessarily controllable.
2.11 Overheads and profit
2.11.1 Provision shall be made in the bill of quantities (BQ) for the contractor to apply their requiredpercentage addition for overheads and profit on the following:
(1) preliminaries;
(2) measured work, including contractor designed works;
(3) risk allowances;
(4) work resulting from the expenditure of provisional sums (i.e. defined provisional sums,undefined provisional sums and works to be undertaken by statutory undertakers).
2.11.2 When required, overheads and profit can be treated as two separate cost items; namely,‘overheads’and ‘profit’.
2.12 Credits
2.12.1 Credits are normally only applicable where the building project comprises the refurbishment orrehabilitation of an existing building, or demolition works. Provision for such provides the employeran opportunity to seek credits for old building materials; components and items; mechanical andelectrical plant; and fittings, furnishings and equipment which arise from the stripping out ordemolition works and for which the employer is content to pass ownership to the contractor forreuse.
2.12.2 Credits can be based on a pre-prepared list of items, which is incorporated in the BQ and thecontractor invited to insert the amount of credit he will give for each item. Alternatively, thecontractor can be invited to list items for which he is willing to offer a credit and the amount ofcredit he will give for each item.
2.12.3 A template for ‘credits’ is provided in Appendix F of these rules.
2.13 Other considerations
2.13.1 Price fluctuations:
2.13.1.1 The cost to the contractor of labour and materials etc. used in the works will alter during thecontract period (i.e. they will be subject to price fluctuations). It might fall but, more usually, it willrise.The risk of fluctuating prices can be dealt with as follows:
(1) contractor to price the risk (a fixed or firm price contract); or
(2) allow provision for contractor to recover full or limited fluctuations on certain prices (afluctuating price contract).
2.13.1.2 Most standard forms of contract conditions allow for either alternative to be used by providingclauses which may be included or deleted.
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
28 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
(1) Fixed price contracts:
These are contracts in which the price of labour, materials and plant is not subject tofluctuations. Fixed price contracts are sometimes referred to as ‘fixed price lump sumcontracts’, ‘firm price contracts’, or ‘firm price lump sum contracts’.
In the absence of any provision in the contract, or where the provision for recovering of pricefluctuations has been deleted, the contractor will be required to take the risk (i.e. price therisk) of price fluctuations during the contract period. In order to cover himself, thecontractor will make an estimate of the likely increase in costs and include this in his tenderprice.
Where there is no provision for recovering of price fluctuations, separate provision is to beincorporated in the bill of quantities for the contractor to tender his fixed price adjustmentfor pricing the risk. Such provision is to be referred to as either the ‘main contractor’s fixedprice adjustment’ or the ‘work package contractor’s fixed price adjustment’, whichever isapplicable.
When preparing bill of quantities, the quantity surveyor/cost manager shall ensure that nocontract conditions relating to the recovery of price fluctuations exist.
(2) Fluctuating price contracts:
These are contracts in which adjustment is allowed for fluctuations in the prices of labourand materials etc. Various degrees of fluctuations are allowed under the provisions ofstandard contract conditions. The extent to which fluctuations are allowed will have asignificant effect upon the contractor’s tender price.
Where fluctuations are to be allowed, no provision for ‘main contractor’s fixed price adjustment’ orthe ‘work package contractor’s fixed price adjustment’ is required.
2.13.2 Director’s adjustment:
2.13.2.1 Separate provision is to be incorporated in the bill of quantities for the contractor to insert a‘director’s adjustment’.
2.13.2.2 It is the responsibility of the contractor’s directors, or other senior managers, to secure work forthe company.Therefore, before submitting a tender price, the contractor’s directors will undertakea commercial review of the project and the estimated price. This review might result in thecontractor’s directors requiring adjustment to the estimated price, referred to as a ‘director’sadjustment’. The director’s adjustment will include adjustments for commercial matters such asfinancing charges, cash flow, opportunities and competition.This is a sum added to or omitted fromthe estimated price to arrive at a tender price.
2.13.3 Dayworks (provisional):
2.13.3.1 Daywork is a method of valuing work on the basis of time spent by the contractor’s employees, thematerials used and the plant employed.
2.13.3.2 If required, a schedule of dayworks is to be incorporated in the bill of quantities (BQ).The scheduleof dayworks is to comprise a list of the various classifications of labour, estimates of the number ofhours against each classification of labour, and estimated lump sums for materials and plant, forwhich daywork rates and percentage additions for overheads and profit are to be inserted by thecontractor. A statement of the conditions under which the contractor will be paid for workexecuted on a daywork basis is to be given in either the preliminaries bill or schedule of dayworks.
2.13.3.3 The method of calculating labour time charge rates for work carried out in normal working hours(i.e. productive time) and work carried out outside of normal working hours (i.e. non-productivetime) shall be defined in the schedule of dayworks.The definition of normal working hours shall begiven in either the preliminaries bill or schedule of dayworks.
2.13.3.4 The total amount included for daywork by the contractor shall be omitted from the contract sum.The rates and percentage additions included in the BQ shall be used to calculate the price of extraworks instructed, which are authorised to be valued on a daywork basis.
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 29
Note:The total price derived from the schedule of dayworks can be included within or excludedfrom the contract sum.When included, it is to be treated as a provisional sum.When excluded, itshall be clearly stated that the rates, prices and percentage adjustments tendered are included inthe contract.
2.13.4 Value Added Tax (VAT):
Value added tax (VAT) shall be excluded from bill of quantities (BQ). Notwithstanding this, ifrequired by the employer, provision for the contractor to provide a VAT assessment as part of histender return can be incorporated in the form of tender.
2.14 Information requirements for measurement
2.14.1 The accuracy of bill of quantities (BQ) is dependent on the quality of the information supplied tothe quantity surveyor/cost manager by the employer, designers and other project team members;the more information provided, the more reliable the outcome will be. Where little or noinformation is provided, the quantity surveyor/cost manager will need to seek decisions from theemployer as to how the uncertainty is to be managed and procured (refer to paragraph 2.11).
2.14.2 To enable the quantity surveyor/cost manager to prepare a BQ, the information in paragraphs2.14.3 to 2.14.6 inclusive (below) will be required.
2.14.3 Specification:
2.14.3.1 A specification defines what the employer wishes to buy and, consequently, what the contractor isexpected to supply.
2.14.3.2 The two main types of specification used are:
+ Prescriptive specifications
+ Performance specifications.
(1) Prescriptive specifications:
This form of specification is required to enable a firm bill of quantities to be prepared.Thefunction of a prescriptive specification is to prescribe the materials and workmanshiprequired for a building project in as much detail as possible. Specific products and materialswill be named, and the assembly of the building will be described and supported with drawninformation and schedules (see paragraphs 2.14.4 and 2.14.5 below).Where materials are notnamed, reference will be made to published standards governing their composition (e.g.British standards or other country specific standards).
Where a prescriptive specification is used, the contractor will not carry any designresponsibility.
(2) Performance specifications:
A performance specification describes the requirements of a product (e.g. windows),equipment (e.g. chiller plant), system or installation (e.g. mechanical and electricalinstallations) in terms of the performance objectives or criteria.
The main difference between a performance specification and a prescriptive specification isrelated to design responsibility. With a performance specification, the contractor isresponsible for design development of the specification to meet the performancerequirements.
The benefit to the employer is that design will not need to be advanced forperformance-specified work before inviting tenders from contractors.
It should be noted that some standard forms of contract conditions do not include provisionfor contractor designed work. Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that the contractconditions used for the building project clearly transfer design responsibility for contractordesigned work to the contractor (e.g. by incorporating supplementary contract conditions orother amendment to the standard forms of contract conditions used). Failure to do this willresult in design responsibility remaining with the employer, even though the employer did notundertake the design.
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
30 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
Usually, the quantity surveyor/cost manager will be faced with a combination of both types ofspecification, which needs to be organised in the BQ (i.e. separated into measured works andnon-measured works).
Insufficient or poorly described information can mislead contractors, resulting in contractvariations and potential time-related and/or cost-related claims.
2.14.4 Drawn information:
2.14.4.1 Drawn information is required to describe the assembly of the building, as well as any temporaryworks. Drawings shall be to a suitable scale.
2.14.4.2 Required drawn information shall include:
+ General arrangement (GA) drawings, comprising:
– a block plan: this shall identify the site and locates the outlines of the building works inrelation to the town plan or other wider context;
– a site plan: this shall locate the position of the building works in relation to the settingout points, the means of access and the general layout of the site; and
– plans, sections and elevations: these shall show the position occupied by the variousspaces in a building and the general construction and location of the principal elementsand components.The extent of elevations and sections shall be as appropriate to coverall major building zones.
General arrangement drawings are sometimes called ‘location’ drawings.
+ Component drawings: these shall show the information necessary for manufacture and assemblyof a component; including key details/interfaces (e.g. interface between curtain walling systemand structure, balconies and the like).
Component drawings are sometimes called ‘detail’ or ‘assembly’ drawings.
+ Schematic drawings: these show how something works and the relation between the parts (e.g.the wiring of an electrical system).
+ Record drawings: these are a set of drawings that depict the actual as-built conditions of anexisting building or structure, including mechanical and electrical engineering services installed.These are required for building projects involving the refurbishment or the demolition (partialor complete) of an existing building or structure.
Record drawings are sometimes called ‘existing’, ‘as-built’ or ‘as-installed’ drawings.
2.14.4.3 Specific requirements for drawn information are further defined in the tabulated rules ofmeasurement in Part 3 of these rules.
2.14.5 Schedules:
2.14.5.1 Schedules which provide the information required by the tabulated rules shall be deemed to bedrawings. Schedules include:
+ Room data sheets (including co-ordinated mechanical and electrical services engineering datasheets);
+ Door schedules, including ironmongery;
+ Window schedules, including ironmongery;
+ Reinforcement (bar bending) schedules
+ Landscaping and planting schedule (for internal and external works);
+ Drainage schedules;
+ Fittings, furnishings and equipment schedules;
+ Luminaires schedules;
+ Control schedules for mechanical and electrical engineering services;
+ Primary mechanical and electrical plant and equipment schedules;
+ Duties, outputs and sizes of primary mechanical and electrical plant and equipment;
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 31
+ Builder’s work in connection with mechanical and electrical engineering services;
+ Other scheduled information necessary to specify the works.
The above list is not meant to be definitive or exhaustive, but simply a guide.
2.14.6 Reports and other information:
Reports and/or other information required for the preparation of bill of quantities (BQ) will bedependent on the nature of the building project. However, such documents normally include someor all of the following:
+ drawings showing the site boundary and all known site constraints and restrictions, includingthe means of access, restrictive covenants, party walls, rights of light issues, and rights of access;
+ a statement of, and drawing(s) detailing, phasing requirements;
+ a statement of, and drawing(s) detailing, construction sequencing requirements;
+ details of residual design development and construction risks (i.e. risk register or risk log);
+ a schedule of gross external areas (GEA), gross internal floor areas (GIFA), net internal areas(NIA – i.e. usable area for shops, supermarkets and offices) and site area (SA).
+ site survey reports, including archaeological survey, ecological survey, invasive plant growthsurvey, etc.;
+ details of wildlife, including protected species, protection measures;

+ the employer’s requirements for the contractor to collect and report cost data to supportclaims for capital allowances, grants, value added tax (VAT) recovery, and other tax incentives;
+ the employer’s policy documents, which the contractor will be required to comply with (e.g.site rules and regulations, environmental, corporate social responsibilities, and health and safetypolicies);
+ hoarding requirements, including design where this is an employer’s requirement;
+ details of the employer’s post completion requirements (e.g. operation and maintenance ofcompleted building (i.e. works and services)); and
+ all other information necessary to construct the preliminaries bill for the building project orwork package (refer to Work Section 1 (Preliminaries) at Part 3 (Tabulated rules ofmeasurement for building works) of these rules).

The above list is not meant to be definitive or exhaustive, but merely a guide. It is intended to beused by the quantity surveyor/cost manager to assist in identifying the types of reports and otherinformation required to prepare a robust BQ.
2.15 Codification of bill of quantities
2.15.1 Planning the bill of quantities breakdown structures:
2.15.1.1 Before attempting to prepare a bill of quantities (BQ) for a building project, the composition of thebuilding project needs to be determined and the structure of the BQ planned.The composition ofa BQ can be viewed as a work breakdown structure (WBS).This is a tree structure which can beused to define and divide a building project into key facets. It is developed by starting with the endobjective (i.e. WBS Level 0 – the entire building project) and successively subdividing it into themain components and sub-components that make up the entire building project – providing ahierarchical breakdown. What is more, a WBS initiates the development of the cost breakdownstructure (CBS), which can be used to allocate costs to every facet of the building project at eachlevel of the WBS. Together, the WBS and CBS provide a frame of reference for the costmanagement of a building project during the construction phase (i.e. post contract). In the contextof BQ, the WBS is referred to as BQ breakdown structure (BQBS).
2.15.1.2 There are three principal breakdown structures for BQ.They are:
(1) Elemental:
Measurement and description is done by group elements; following the logic arrangement forelemental cost planning defined in NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capitalbuilding works. Each group element forms a separate section of the BQ, irrespective of theorder of work sections in NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works. Group elements aresub-divided through the use of elements, which are further sub-divided by sub-elements.
(2) Work section:
Measurement and description is divided into the work sections defined in NRM 2: Detailedmeasurement for building works (refer to the tabulated rules in Part 3 of these rules).
(3) Work package:
Measurement and description is divided into employer or contractor defined work packages.Works packages can be based on either a specific-trade package or a single packagecomprising a number of different trades.
2.15.1.3 Amplification of these three principal BQ breakdown structures is given in paragraph A.1 (Bill ofquantities breakdown structures) at Appendix A (Guidance on the preparation of bill of quantities)of these rules.
2.15.2 Codification of bill of quantities:
2.15.2.1 The work breakdown structure (WBS) for the building project will have been initiated by thequantity surveyor/cost manager when preparing the initial order of cost estimates and developedduring the formal cost planning stages (i.e. the cost plan breakdown structure). As part of thisprocess, the cost breakdown structure (CBS) will have evolved. The key benefit of the cost planbreakdown structure is the ability to uniquely identify by a code all group elements, elements, sub-elements, and components (i.e. building components/items) in a numerical and logical manner –providing a codification framework for the cost management, control and reporting of costs.Witha unique code, all building components/items can be linked to components, components tosub-elements, sub-elements to elements, elements to group elements, and group elements to thecost limit (i.e. the total estimated cost of the building project). This makes it easier to retrieve,manage and restructure information (i.e. costs and building components/items). Details of thecodification framework, including the numbering logic, advocated for cost planning can be found inNRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works.
2.15.2.2 For the quantity surveyor/cost manager to manage the cost plan during the procurement andconstruction phases of the building project (i.e. by reconciling tender prices and project outturn
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 33
costs against the cost plan), the codification framework used for cost planning must be used as thebasis for the codification of building components/items and components in the bill of quantities(BQ).
2.15.3 The coding system:
2.15.3.1 The coding system used for a bill of quantities (BQ) will be dependant on the BQ breakdownstructure used.That is:
+ Elemental breakdown structure;
+ Work sectional breakdown structure; or
+ Work package breakdown structure.
(1) Elemental breakdown structure
When preparing elemental BQ, the BQ breakdown structure is based on the group elementsdefined by NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works (i.e.facilitating works; substructure; superstructure; internal finishes; fittings, furnishings andequipment; services; prefabricated buildings and building units, work to existing buildings, andexternal works).
The identification numbers used to formulate codes for cost planning are described in NRM1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works. The coding systemadvocated by NRM 1 is numeric. However, both alpha and numeric codes can be used(letters and numbers). It is recommended that the same approach be used in codifyingbuilding components/items (i.e. components and sub-components) in bill of quantities (BQ).
For practical purposes five to six levels of code are considered sufficient in cost planning toachieve the desired level of pre-contract cost control of a building project. The mainidentification numbers levels are as follows:
+ Level 0: Project number – most building projects will be given a project number, together witha project title or name, to distinguish them from all other projects the company might beworking on.
+ Level 1: Cost plan number – where a building project comprises more than one building orfacet, a discrete cost plan will most likely be prepared for each building and key facet;culminating in a ‘summary cost plan’. Therefore, an identification number will be required todistinguish cost plans.This code will not be required for a single cost plan.
The identification numbers for Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 are pre-defined by NRM 1: Costestimating and cost planning for building works.
+ Level 2: Group element – identification number pre-defined.
+ Level 3: Element – identification number pre-defined.
+ Level 4: Sub-element – identification number pre-defined.
+ Level 5: Component – user defined (building components/items).
Because building components/items are described and quantified in greater detail in BQ thanthose for cost planning, a user defined level 6 identification numbers will need to beintroduced for each sub-component of a component that is to be measured in accordancewith NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works. The way in which a code can beexpanded to include a level 6 identification number for sub-components is shown in thefollowing example.

Note: It might not be necessary to prefix the code for components and sub-components with theproject number throughout the BQ.
The resultant codes can be inserted in the right-hand column of the bill paper or in bracketsafter the bill description.
(2) Work sectional breakdown structure
Where a work sectional breakdown structure is used to construct the bill of quantities(BQ), the work sections will be those defined in the work sections in NRM 2: Detailedmeasurement for building works (refer to the tabulated rules in Part 3 of this document).However, for the purposes of cost management and cost control, it is essential that the worksectional breakdown structure can be easily reconciled with the original cost planbreakdown structure.
The method recommended by the rules involves the provision of a secondary code whichacts as a suffix to the primary code used for BQ based on an elemental breakdown structuredescribed in sub-paragraph a) above. Examples of suffix codes are illustrated in Figure 2.4below.

NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
36 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
(3) Work package breakdown structure
Both NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works and NRM 2:Detailed measurement for building works recognise that cost plans will need to be restructuredfrom elements to works packages for the purposes procurement. However, they make noattempt at standardising works packages. This is because the content of work packages islikely to be different from one building project to another – with the content of workpackages often based on the perception of risk to those ultimately liable for the constructionworks. For example, for one building contract it might be deemed appropriate to have allconcrete work carried out under by a single subcontractor. Whereas for another buildingcontract, because of the perceived risks associated with the drainage passing through theground floor construction, it is considered more appropriate to include the construction ofpile caps, ground beams, base slab and below ground drainage in the works package forgroundworks.
For that reason, the number and content of work packages need to be carefully planned bythe cost manager/quantity surveyor before commencing the preparation of the bill ofquantities. Once the work package breakdown structure has been established, the provisionof a secondary code which acts as a suffix to the primary code (i.e. that used for BQ basedon an elemental breakdown structure described in sub-paragraph (a) above) can be applied.
Figure 2.5 provides typical example of part of a work package breakdown structure, to whichsuffix codes have been applied. An example of a full work package breakdown structure isgiven at Appendix G of these rules.The example is not meant to be definitive or exhaustive,but simply for guidance.

Notes:
1 Only work packages 1 to 6 inclusive have been expanded to illustrate the typical content of thework package.
2 As with elemental BQ, it is not be necessary to prefix the code for components andsub-components with the project number throughout the BQ.
Again, using the examples of sub-components given in Figure 2.3 above, the resulting codesfor a work package breakdown structure will be:
• Excavation DPB27-3.1.1.2.1.1/04
• Disposal DPB27-3.1.1.2.1.2/04
• Concrete DPB27-3.1.1.2.1.3/04
• Reinforcement DPB27-3.1.1.2.1.4/04
• Formwork DPB27-3.1.1.2.1.5/04
As all sub-components relate to the construction of pile caps, they will all be incorporated inthe work package for groundworks and, as a consequence, all be given the same suffix.
2.16 Cost management/control
2.16.1 The main purpose of a bill of quantities (BQ) is to present a co-ordinated list of components/items,together with their identifying descriptions and quantities that encompass the building works sothat the tendering contractors are able to prepare tenders efficiently and accurately. As well asassisting in ensuring parity of tendering. In addition, BQ provide a vital tool, which can be used bythe quantity surveyor/cost manager to manage and control the costs of the building project. Costmanagement and control uses include:

2.16.2 Pre-tender estimate:
Pre-tender estimates are prepared immediately before calling the first tenders for construction.This is the final cost-check undertaken by the cost manager before tender bids for the buildingproject, or any part of the building project, are obtained.When a bill of quantities (BQ) is the basisof obtaining a tender price, the pre-tender estimates will be based on the BQ.
2.16.3 Post-tender estimate:
A post-tender estimate is prepared at RIBA Work Stage H (tender action), or OGC Gateway 3C(investment decision), after all the construction tenders have been received and evaluated. It isbased on the outcome of any post-tender negotiations, including the resolution of any tenderqualifications and tender price adjustments.The post-tender estimate will include the actual knownconstruction costs and any residual risks. The aim of this estimate is to corroborate the fundinglevel required by the employer to complete the building project, including cost updates of projectand design team fees, as well as other development and project costs, where they form part of thecosts being managed by the cost manager.When reporting the outcome of the tendering processto the employer, the quantity surveyor/cost manager should include a summary of the post-tenderestimate(s).The post-tender estimate should be fairly accurate because the uncertainties of marketconditions have been removed. Post-tender estimates are used as the control estimate duringconstruction.
2.16.4 Cost planning:
2.16.4.1 Cost planning is an iterative process, which is performed in steps of increasing detail as moredesign information becomes available.A cost plan provides both a work breakdown structure anda cost breakdown structure which, by codifying, can be used to redistribute works in elements toworks packages for the purpose of procurement and cost control during the construction phase ofthe building project.
2.16.4.2 The third formal cost plan stage (completed at RIBA Work Stages E/F (Technical Design/ProductionInformation) is based on technical designs, specifications and detailed information for construction.Formal cost plan 3 will provide the frame of reference for appraising tenders. It also provides theframe of reference for reconciling ‘actual costs’ against ‘cost targets’. This is particularly beneficialwhere building works are being procured piecemeal (e.g. procuring discrete work packages as theirdesign is completed).The proper use of the cost plan will allow the re-profiling of cost targets asnecessary to ensure that the overall cost limit (i.e. the employer’s authorised budget) is maintainedby the project team.
2.16.5 Pricing variations:
The rates in a priced bill of quantities (BQ) provide a basis for the valuation of varied work.‘Pro-rata’ and ‘analogous’ rates can also be ascertained from the base rates tendered to calculatethe prices of other components not specifically described in the BQ.
2.16.6 Interim valuations and payment:
2.16.6.1 Many building projects require interim payments to be paid to the contractor.This is in order torelieve the contractor of the burden of financing the whole of the building works until completion;works which may take many months or years to complete. Within each contract there will beclauses which set out the administrative rules under which the quantity surveyor/cost manager,architect (or contract administrator or project manager, quantity surveyor/cost manager) employer
PART 2: RULES FOR DETAILED MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 39
and contractor must operate. In many contracts, while the completion and calculation of the valueis important, the method and procedure of the interim valuations and payment which thecontractor receives is equally important.
2.16.6.2 A priced bill of quantities (BQ) provides a comprehensive list of building components/items.Consequently, when a contract has been entered into, by assessing the building components/itemsin the BQ, the priced BQ can be used to ascertain periodic valuation of works properly executedin accordance with the provisions of the contract for the purpose of interim valuations andpayment.
2.17 Analysis, collection and storage of cost data
2.17.1 Priced bill of quantities (BQ) make available one of the best sources of real-time cost data, whichcan be used by quantity surveyors/cost managers to provide expert cost advice on the likely costof future building projects. Moreover, they afford a complete cost model in a single document.
2.17.2 The cost data provided in a BQ can be retrieved, analysed, stored and reprocessed in various ways(e.g. as distinct rates, detailed elemental cost analyses, element unit rates (EUR), cost/m2 of grossinternal floor area, and/or functional unit rates) for use in order of cost estimates and cost plans. Itcan also be used for benchmarking purposes.
2.17.3 NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital building works can be used as a basis formeasuring element unit quantities (EUQ) for the purpose of preparing detailed cost analyses ofbuilding projects.

EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 41
Part 3:Tabulated rules ofmeasurement for building works3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 Part 3 of the rules comprise:
(1) the information and requirements for main contractor’s and work package contractors’preliminaries, together with the rules for preparing the preliminaries pricing schedule; and
(2) the rules of measurement for building components/items.
3.1.2 The use of the tabulated rules is also explained.
3.1.3 Bill of quantities (BQ) are to fully describe and accurately represent the quantity and quality of theworks to be carried out. More detail than is required by these rules should be given wherenecessary to define the precise nature and extent of the required work.
3.2 Use of tabulated rules of measurement for buildingworks
3.2.1 General
3.2.1.1 The rules of measurement for building works are set out in tables.The tables are divided into twocategories, namely those dealing with:
+ preliminaries; and
+ measurement of building components/items.
3.2.1.2 The rules are written in the present tense.
3.2.1.3 The symbol ‘/’ used between two or more units of measurement or within text, means ‘or’.
3.2.1.4 Horizontal lines divide the tables and rules into zones to which different rules apply.
3.2.1.5 Where units of measurement or rules are separated by a broken line ( - - - - - ) this denotes achoice of units or choice of ways of measuring the work.The method chosen shall be the best tosuit the particular situation.
3.2.1.6 The use of a hyphen (-) or the phrase ‘to’ between two dimensions in these tables or in a bill ofquantities means a range of dimensions exceeding the first dimension stated but not exceeding thesecond.
3.2.2 Tables: preliminaries
3.2.2.1 Work Section 1 comprises the rules for describing and quantifying preliminaries. It is divided intotwo sub-sections as follows:
+ preliminaries (main contract); and
+ preliminaries (work package contract).
3.2.2.2 Both sub-sections are sub-divided into parts as follows:
+ Part A: Information and requirements (i.e. dealing with the descriptive part of thepreliminaries); and
+ Part B: Pricing schedule (i.e. provides the basis of a pricing document for preliminaries).
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 43
3.2.2.3 The tables for information and requirements for both preliminaries (main contract) andpreliminaries (work package contract) are structured as follows:
(1) Information and requirements are specified under a number of headings, which are givenabove each table (i.e. project particulars; drawings and other documents; and the site andexisting buildings);
(2) The left hand column (sub-heading 1) lists the preliminaries items to be considered undereach main heading;
(3) The second column (sub-heading 2) lists the sub-items to be considered under eachsub-heading;
(4) The third column (information requirements) lists the information which shall be includedwithin the preliminaries descriptions; and
(5) The fourth column (supplementary information/notes) lists supplementary information thatmight need to be included within the preliminaries descriptions, as well as providingadditional guidance on the drafting of preliminaries statements.
3.2.2.4 The pricing schedule tables for both preliminaries (main contract) and preliminaries (work packagecontract) are structured as follows:
(1) The contractor’s pricing of preliminaries are captured under a number of headings, which aregiven above each table (i.e. project particulars; drawings and other documents; and the siteand existing buildings);
(2) The left hand column (component) lists the preliminaries items to be considered under eachmain heading;
(3) The second column (included/notes on pricing) lists the sub-items which form part of eachitem;
(4) The third column (unit) lists the unit of measurement for preliminaries items;
(5) The fourth column (pricing method) stipulates if the component is a ‘fixed charge’, a‘time-related charge’, or a combination of both; and
(6) The fifth column (excluded) describes the items excluded from a component. Whereexclusions are stated, cross references to the appropriate component is given.

NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
48 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
3.3.5.2 Where it is not possible to derive the method of measurement from the tabulated rules, the ruleschosen may be bespoke. In such cases, the rule or rules derived shall be reiterated in full in eitherthe preliminaries or in the bill of quantities (above the building components/items or items towhich the rule relates).
3.3.6 Procedure where work cannot be quantified:
For the rules relating to work which cannot be quantified, refer to paragraph 2.9 (Non-measurableworks) at Part 2 of these rules.
3.3.7 Procedure where exact type of product or component is not specified:
3.3.7.1 Where the exact type of product or component cannot be specified, an estimated price for theproduct or component shall be given in the description as a prime cost price (PC price). State, forexample, ‘Allow the PC price of £x per thousand delivered to site’, ‘Allow the PC price of £y perm2 delivered to site’, or ‘Allow £z each delivered to site’.
3.3.7.2 Unless specifically stated otherwise in the bill of quantities or in these rules, the contractor shall bedeemed to have allowed for all items listed in paragraph 3.3.3.13 in his or her priced rate for eachbuilding component/item incorporating a PC price.
3.3.7.3 PC prices shall exclude any allowance for the main contractor’s overheads and profit, which aredealt with separately.
3.3.8 Procedure where quantity of work cannot be accurately determined:
3.3.8.1 Where work can be described and given in items in accordance with the tabulated rules ofmeasurement but the quantity of work cannot be accurately determined, an estimate of thequantity shall be given and identified as a ‘provisional quantity’.
3.3.8.2 Work items identified as a ‘provisional quantity’ shall be subject to remeasurement when they havebeen completed. The ‘approximate quantity’ shall be substituted by the ‘firm quantity’ measured,and the total price for that item adjusted to reflect the change in quantity. Where the variancebetween the ‘provisional quantity’ and the ‘firm quantity’ measured is less than 20 per cent, the ratetendered by the contractor shall not be subject to review.Where the variance is significant (i.e. 20per cent or more), the rate can be reviewed to ensure that the rate is fair and reasonable to boththe employer and contractor.

EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 261
Appendix A: Guidance on thepreparation of bill of quantitiesA.1 Bill of quantities breakdown structure
A.1.1 There a number of different breakdown structures for bill of quantities (BQ).They each have theirown advantages and disadvantages. However, computerised BQ production systems with multiplesort facilities can be used to generate different BQ formats and make it easy to trace items – aslong as items have been properly codified (refer to 2.15 (Codification of bill of quantities).
A.1.2 NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works can be adopted as the rules of measurement forbuilding works irrespective of what BQ breakdown structure is chosen.
A.1.3 The main BQ breakdown structures are:
(a) Elemental: Measurement and description is done by group elements and each groupelement forms a separate section of the BQ, irrespective of the order of work sections inNRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works. Group elements are sub-divided through theuse of elements, which are further sub-divided by sub-elements. The group elements,elements and sub-elements used are those defined by NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and costplanning for capital building works.
Figure A.1: Elemental BQ breakdown structures for a simple building project

Bill No. 1: Preliminaries (main contract)
Bill No. 2: Facilitating Works
Bill No. 3: Substructure
Bill No. 4: Superstructure
Bill No. 5: Internal Finishes
Bill No. 6: Fittings, Furnishings and Equipment
Bill No. 7: Services
Bill No. 8: External Works
Bill No. 9: Risks
Bill No. 10: Provisional Sums
Bill No. 11: Credits
Bill No. 12: Daywork (provisional)
An elemental breakdown structure supports a logical and structured approach to the quantificationof a building project. Moreover, this type of breakdown structure makes it easier for the quantitysurveyor/cost manager to analysis a contractor’s tender price and collects real-time cost data forfuture use.
(b) Work section: Measurement and description is divided into the work sections listed inNRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works (refer to the tabulated rules in Part 3 of theserules).

This breakdown structure is often preferred by contractors for the purpose of pricing as all likeproducts and components are grouped together (e.g. the reinforced concrete columns, beams,floors, roofs and staircases), whereas they can be spread among a number of different elements
APPENDIX A: GUIDANCE ON THE PREPARATION OF BILL OF QUANTITIES
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 263
when an elemental breakdown structure is used. Codification of BQ items using computerised BQsystems will solve the problem of preferences (refer to 2.15 (Codification of bill of quantities) ofthe rules).
(c) Work package: Measurement and description is divided into employer, quantity surveyor orcontractor defined work packages – whichever is applicable.Works packages can be based oneither a specific-trade (e.g. concrete work, brickwork and blockwork, roof coverings, paintingand decorating, and wall tiling) or a single package comprising a number of different trades(e.g. a groundworks package might include all excavation and earthworks, below grounddrainage and the ground-bearing concrete floor-slab – so as to make a single workscontractor responsible for the interface between the drainage and the ground-bearingconcrete floor-slab).

Bill No. 25: Provisional sums
Bill No. 26: Credits
Bill No. 27: Daywork (Provisional)
Again, codification of BQ items using computerised BQ systems will allow the re-sorting of itemsfrom elements to works packages for the purposes of tendering, and vice versa for the purpose ofoverall cost control (refer to 2.15 (Codification of bill of quantities) at Part 2 of these rules).
This breakdown structure is usually used by contractors to procure packages of work from theirsupply chain.
NRM 2: DETAILED MEASUREMENT FOR BUILDING WORKS
264 | RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013
A.2 Bill of quantities breakdown structure for projects comprising morethan one building
Where a building project comprises more than one type of building, it is recommended that aseparate bill of quantities be prepared for each building; culminating in a ‘summary bill’ for theentire building project.
A.3 Order of items in bill of quantities
The order of items in a bill of quantities (BQ) is:
(1) For elemental BQ:
(a) Elements as contained in NRM 1: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for capital buildingworks.

196 m2
8.1.1.1.2 Walls 215mm thick, brickwork 302 m2
A.5 Codifying itemsAs well as for the purpose of making it easy to search, it is essential that every item in the bill ofquantities (BQ) can be referenced back to the cost plan.
A.6 Unit of measurementThe units of measurement for items are stipulated by the tabulated rules of measurement. For thepurpose of clarity, the unit of measurement is to be entered against each item in the bill ofquantities, irrespective of whether it is the same unit as the previous item.
A.7 Order of sizesSizes or dimensions in descriptions are to be in the order: length, width, height. Sometimes thewidth of a component (e.g. a base unit) is referred to as its ‘depth’. If there is likely to be any doubt,for the purpose of clarity, the dimensions are to be stated.
APPENDIX A: GUIDANCE ON THE PREPARATION OF BILL OF QUANTITIES
EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2013 RICS NEW RULES OF MEASUREMENT | 267
For example:
Base unit: 1000mm long x 600mm wide x 900mm high; …
A.8 Use of headings
Headings usually fall into one of four categories:
1 Elemental or work section headings
2 Element or sub-section headings
3 Headings that partly describe a group of items
4 Subdivisions required by NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works.
A.9 Unit of billing
Other than enumerated and itemised items, the unit of measurement is the metre.The exceptionto this rule is steel bar reinforcement and structural steelwork, which are billed in tonnes to twodecimal places.
A.10 Framing of descriptions
The bill of quantities is a legal document. Therefore, care should be taken when framingdescriptions so that there is no doubt as to their meaning.
A.11 Totalling pages
There are a number of ways in which the quantity surveyor/cost manager might indicate how thecash totals on each page of the bill are to be dealt with.The preferred method is for the total to becarried over to be added to the next page and so on until the end of the bill or sub-section of thebill. Unless the bill section comprises only one page, the foot of the first and intermediate bill pagesshould be completed as follows:

The rules have been written to provide a standard set of measurement rules that are understandable byall those involved in a construction project. They provide advice and best practice guidance to RICSmembers involved in the cost management of construction projects worldwide.
This volume, NRM 2: Detailed measurement for building works, provides detailed rules for themeasurement and description of building works for the purpose of obtaining tender prices. The rulesaddress all aspects of bill of quantities production, including setting out the information required from theemployer and other construction consultants to enable a bill of quantities to be prepared, as well asdealing with the quantification of non-measurable work items, contractor designed works and risks.Guidance is also provided on the content, structure and format of bill of quantities, as well as the benefitsand uses of bill of quantities.
Moreover, the rules can be used for bill of quantities for both main contract works and for discrete workpackages – including separate preliminaries for both.
Although written primarily for the preparation of bill of quantities and quantified schedules of works, therules will be invaluable when designing and developing standard or bespoke schedules of rates, or otherquantity-based pricing document.
These rules provide essential guidance to all those involved in the preparation of bill of quantities,quantified schedules of works, schedules of rates and similar pricing documents, as well as those whowish to be better informed about the purpose, use and benefits of adopting detailed measurement oftheir cost control procedures.
The RICS new rules of measurement are based on UK practice but the requirements for a coordinatedset of rules and underlying philosophy behind each volume have worldwide application.
