Introduction

The measurements in this Malaysian Standard are for civil engineering work in Malaysia
conditions.

The standard method of measurement in this Malaysian Standard had been designed to cater
for various aspects of local construction practices and is published to accommodate a
comprehensive coverage of civil engineering work in Malaysia.

There are two(2) other publications have been produced to complement this standard method
of measurement in order to provide detailed clarification of the work items and to assist
measurers in simplifying their tasks when describing the work items.

a) ‘A Guide to Malaysian Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement’ offers detailed

technical clarifications on work items found in this standard.

t
en
b) ‘Library of Standard BQ Descriptions for Malaysian Civil Engineering Standard Method of
Measurement’ contains a comprehensive option of list of descriptions of work items from
which measurers can extract to facilitate efficiency in the preparation of the bill of quantities.

SECTION 2: APPLICATION OF WORK CLASSIFICATION

2.1 Item description

The work classification divides work that commonly encountered in a civil engineering contract
into twenty three (23) main classes. Each class comprises up to three (3) divisions which
classify work at successive levels of detail. Each division comprises a list of up to eight (8)
descriptive features of work. Each item description in the bill of quantities shall identify the
component of work covered with respect to one (1) feature from each division of the relevant
class.

2.2 Modes of description

Item description formworks shall generally identify the components of the works and not the
tasks to be carried out by the contractor.

t
en
EXAMPLE. An item should be described as “Mild steel bar to nominal diameter 20 mm”; not as “Supply,
deliver, cut, bend, and fix mild steel bar to nominal diameter 20 mm”.

m
Where the work identified by an item is specifically limited, the limitation shall be stated in the
item description.
om
EXAMPLE. “Mild steel bar to nominal diameter 20 mm excluding supply and delivery to the site”.

2.3 Separate items

C

The work shall be divided into items in the bill of quantities so that the component of work which
lic

is included in each item does not exhibit more than two items from the work classification.

EXAMPLE. Formwork may not be included with concrete; lined and unlined drains may not be covered
ub

in the same item, and so on.

rP

2.4 Units of measurement

The unit of measurement for each item shall be that stated for the item in the work classification.
Fo

2.5 Measurement rules

Measurement rules in the work classification set out the conditions under which the work shall
be measured and the method by which the quantities shall be computed in accordance with
4.13.

2.6 Definition rules

Definition rules in the work classification define the extent and limits of the class of work
represented by a word or expression used in the work classification and in a bill of quantities
prepared in accordance with this standard.

© STANDARDS MALAYSIA 2017 - All rights reserved 5

15D014R0 f

2.7 Coverage rules

Coverage rules in the work classification provide that the work stated is deemed to be included
in the appropriate items to the extent that such work is included in the contract. A coverage rule
does not state all the work covered by an item and does not preclude any of the work stated
being covered by a method-related charge.

2.8 Additional description rules

Description of an item in addition to that required in accordance with 2.1 shall be given where
required by any provision of Section 4 or by any applicable additional description rule in the
work classification. Where additional description is given, a separate item shall be given for
each component of work exhibiting a different additional feature.

EXAMPLE. Additional description rule A10 of Class I requires that the concrete mix type or mark number
in each precast concrete unit shall be stated. Accordingly, this rule also means that separate items shall
be given for units cast from concrete of different types.

t
en
2.9 Application of rules

m
Rules printed on a right-hand page above a double line apply to all work in the class. Other
rules on a right-hand page apply to particular groups of items as shown by the classification
table.

 15D014R0 f

SECTION 3: CODING AND NUMBERING OF ITEMS

3.1 Coding

For convenience of reference and computerised coding, each item in the work classificationhas
been assigned a code number consisting of a letter and not more than three digits. The letter
corresponds to the class in the work classification in which the item occurs and the digits give
the position of the item in the first, second, and third division of the class.
EXAMPLE.

Code I 4 2 0 identifies item as:

Class I concrete works

First division 4 precast concrete
Second division 2 beams
Third division 0

t
en
The symbol * is used in the rules to the work classification to indicate all numbers in the appropriate
division.

m
I 1 4 * means the group of code numbers from I 1 4 1 to I 1 4 8 inclusive.
om
3.2 Item numbers

Code numbers may be used to number the items in the bill of quantities which shall be listed in
C

the ascending order.

Code numbers used as item numbers in the bill of quantities shall not form part of the item
lic

description or be taken into account in the interpretation of the contract.

ub

3.3 Coding of unclassified items

Where a feature of an item is not listed in the work classification, the digit ‘9’ shall be used in
rP

the appropriate positions in the code number.

Where there is an item to which a division of classification does not apply or for which fewer
Fo

than three(3) divisions of classification are given, the digit ‘0’ shall be used in the appropriate
positions in the code number.

3.4 Numbering of items with additional description

Additional description given for an item in accordance with 2.8 is not represented by the code
number. Where code numbers are used as item numbers, a suffix number shall beused to
distinguish items which have the same code number but different additional descriptions.

EXAMPLE.Additional description rule A10 of Class I requires that additional descriptionbe given for
precast concrete units stating their position in the works and the types of concrete used. If three items are
required within one part of the bill of quantities to allow for precast concrete beams having the same code
but different additional descriptions, the items shall be numbered:

I 4 2 0. 1
I 4 2 0. 2
I 4 2 0. 3

SECTION 4: PREPARATION OF THE BILL OF QUANTITIES

4.1 Purpose of the bill of quantities

The purposes of the bill of quantities are:

a) to provide such information of the items, description, and quantities of the work to enable
tenders to be prepared efficiently and accurately;

b) when a contract has been entered into, to provide for the use of the priced bill of quantities
in the valuation of work executed; and

c) when a contract has been entered into, to provide for a basis in valuing variation, subject
to the provisions of the conditions of contract.

In preparation of bill of quantities, work shall be itemised with sufficient detail to distinguish

t
en
between the different classes of work and work of the same nature carried out in different
locations or in any other circumstances which may give rise to different considerations of cost.
Consistent with these requirements, the layout and content of the bill of quantities should be as
simple and brief as possible.
m
om
All works which are expressly required shall be covered in the bill of quantities.

This standard seeks to attain these objectives principally by the use of the work classification:
C

a) how work is to be divided into separate items in the bill of quantities;

lic

b) the information to be given in item description;

ub

c) the units in which the quantities against each item are to be expressed; and

d) how the work is to be measured for the purpose of calculating quantities.

rP

4.2 Measurement of completed work

Fo

This standard shall also apply to the measurement of completed work.

4.3 Sections of the bill of quantities

The bill of quantities shall comprise the following where appropriate:

a) Preamble

b) Work items (grouped into parts)

c) Daywork schedule

d) Grand summary

8 © STANDARDS MALAYSIA 2017 - All rights reserved

 15D014R0 f

4.4 Preamble

The preamble shall state the method of measurement used is this standard and/or other method
of measurement, if any, which have been adopted in the preparation of the bill of quantities.
Such other methods of measurement shall comprise those work not covered by this standard
and any variation made to the measurement of this standard. The variation of this standard may
be necessary for contractor’s designed work and work which is intended to involve selection
between alternatives at the discretion of the contractor. The extent of the work affected by the
variation to this standard shall be stated in the preamble should be by agreement between the
employer/client with the contractor on a case to case basis and shall take precedence over this
standard.

Where excavation, boring, or driving is included in the work, definition of rock shall be given in
the preamble which shall be consistent with that provided in the specification and this definition
shall be used for the purposes of measurement.

Where complex mechanical and electrical engineering work, or complex building work or work

t
en
which is seldom encountered in civil engineering contracts is to be included in a contract for
civil engineering work, it shall be itemised and described in the bill of quantities in sufficient
detail to enable tenderer to price it adequately and their method of measurement which shall

m
be stated in the preamble to the bill of quantities.
om
4.5 Work items - division of the bill of quantities into parts

The items in the bill of quantities which are to be priced and to contribute to the tender total
may be arranged into numbered parts to distinguish between those parts of the work of which
C

the nature, location, access, limitation on sequence or timing or any other special characteristic
is thought likely to give rise to different methods of construction or considerations of cost.
lic

General items (Class A) may be grouped as a separate part of the bill of quantities. Items in
each part shall be arranged in the general order of the work classification.
ub

4.6 Daywork schedule

rP

The daywork schedule, if any, shall comprise a list of the various classes of labour, materials,
and plant for which daywork rates or prices are to be inserted by the tenderer together with a
statement of the conditions under which the contractor shall be paid for work executed on a
Fo

daywork basis.

Provisional sum, if any, for work to be executed on a daywork basis may be given with separate
items for labour, materials, plant, and supplementary charges.

4.7 Heading and sub-headings

Each part of the bill of quantities shall be given a heading, and groups of items within each part
shall be given sub-headings.Headings and sub-headings shall be read as part of the item
descriptions to which they apply. Headings and sub-headings shall be repeated at the start of
each new page to which they apply.

© STANDARDS MALAYSIA 2017 - All rights reserved 9

15D014R0 f

4.8 Extent of itemisation and description

All work shall be itemised and the items shall be described in accordance with the work
classification but further itemisation and additional description may be provided if the nature,
location, importance, or any other special characteristic of the work is thought likely to give rise
to special methods of construction or considerations of cost.

4.9 Descriptions

Descriptions shall identify the work covered by the respective items but the exact nature and
extent of work is to be ascertained from the drawings, specification, and conditions of contract,
as the case may be, and read in conjunction with work classification.

Any detail required to be given in accordance with the work classification may be omitted from
an item description provided that a reference is given in its place which identifies precisely
where the omitted information may be found on the drawings or in the specification.

t
en
Where an item description compiled in accordance with the work classification is insufficient to
identify clearly the particular work covered by the item, additional description shall be given to
identify the work by reference to its location or other physical features shown on the drawings

m
or described in the specification.
om
4.10 Ranges of dimensions

Where all the components of work included in an item are of a specific dimension within a range
given in the work classification, that dimension may be stated in the item description in place of
C

the range of dimensions given.

lic

4.11 Prime cost items

ub

The estimated price of work to be carried out by a nominated sub-contractor shall be given in
thebill of quantities as a prime cost item. Each prime cost item shall be followed by:
rP

a) an item for a sum for attendance in connection therewith which, in the absence of any
express provision in the contract to the contrary, shall include only:
Fo

i) use of temporary roads, standing scaffolding, hoist, canteen, welfare facilities, and
accommodation which are provided by the contractor for his own use and for providing
space for office accommodation and storage of plant and materials, for disposing of
rubbish and for providing light, power, and water for the work of the nominated sub-
contractor; and

ii) unloading, storing,and hoisting materials supplied by him (nominated sub-contractor)

and returning packing materials.

b) an item expressed as a percentage of the price of the prime cost item in respect of all other
charges and profit.

Where any goods, materials, or services supplied by a nominated sub-contractor/supplier are

to be used by the contractor in connection with any item, reference shall be made in the
description of that item, or in the appropriate heading or sub-heading, to the prime cost
itemunder which the goods or materials or services are to be supplied.

that described in the item, the contractor shall nevertheless be entitled to payment of the
method-related charge or the balance thereof, as the case may be, by such instalments at such
times and upon such events as may from time to time be agreed between the
