Principles of Measurement International (POMI)

POMI was published in 1979 for works of construction. POMI is a set of measurements principles to reduce widely varying practices and consequent disputes. Although there are an increasing number of contract documents requiring bills of quantities, often there is no framework within which they can be prepared, nor a commonly agreed basis of measurement. These principles, provide a uniform basis of measurement. They are suitable for use where existing rules are inappropriate or where no rules exist. In June 2011, BCIS undertook an online survey to sample members’ opinion on the RICS Principles of Measurement (International) (POMI), which showed that it was still widely used particularly in the Middle East.

PDFs of POMI in various translations are available to download.
