related to administrative
and fir ant ial organizations
within a department responsible for the WOIk, a unification of various
systems at technical level has been accfptec as \cry de&able, specially
as it permits a wider range of operation for Civil engineering contraclors
and eliminates
ambiguities and misunderstandings
of various systems
followed.
0.3 Among various civil engineering items, measurement
of buildings
was th+ first to be taken up for stancardization
and this stancard
having provisions relating to building work was first published in 1958
