ICES Driver Trett training courseMeasurement and its Application to CESMM and MMHW (3 Days)This three day public course will investigate the hows, whys & wherefores of the measurement of work, either pre-construction or completed work by taking-off quantities and producing bills of quantities in the format of either the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM) or the Method of Measurement for Highway Works (MMHW). Attendees will learn the basics of measurement by considering the same in relation to simple construction technology such as earthwork, concrete, pipelines, piling and roads and the development of measurement item descriptions.

Day 1 will cover quantities and measurement; basics of entering measurements on dimension paper; taking-off quantities; measurement and understanding of drawings and simple bills of quantities. The outcome of day 1 is to ensure that all attending are confident in their knowledge and use of measurement applications.

Day 2 will look at CESMM and MMHW; the philosophy and differences underlying CESMM and MMHW; the development and coding of descriptions; terminology and some practical examples. The outcome of day 2 is designed to give those associated with measurement, some confidence in the application of the theory and practice of CESMM and MMHW.

Day 3 will cover quantities and billing exercise; taking-off quantities for a reinforced concrete bridge; converting them for use with CESMM and MMHW; and production of bills of quantities under both CESMM and MMHW. The outcome of day 3 is to demonstrate the ability to take-off quantities and produce competent bills of quantities.

A workshop approach is used throughout to illustrate key points and demonstrate common scenarios which can be encountered on construction projects. Refreshments and lunch included.
