Indian Standard Methods of measurement of building and civil engineering works

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

Measurement occupies a very important place in the planning and execution of any civil engineering
work from the time of first estimates to the final completion and settlement of payments for a project. Methods followed for measurement are not uniform and considerable differences exist between practices followed by different construction agencies and also between various Central and State Government departments. While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to be specifically related to administrative and financial organizations within a department responsible for
the work, a unification of various systems at technical level has been accepted as very desirable,
specially as it permits a wider range of operation for civil engineering contractors and eliminates
ambiguities and misunderstandings of various systems followed.

Among various civil engineering items, measurement of buildings was the first to be taken up for
standardization and this standard having provisions relating to building work was first published in
1958 and was subsequently revised in 1964. In its second revision. the standard was issued in
different parts corresponding to different trades in building and civil engineering works. The third
revision of the standard was published in 1974.

This fourth revision has been brought out to incorporate the changes found necessary in light of
usage of this standard and the suggestions made by various bodies implementing it.
