FOREWORD
8.1 This Indian Standard (Part XI) (Third Revision) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Institution on 30 September 1977, after the draft
linalizM by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Measurement occupies a very important place in planning and
execution of any civil engineering work from the time of fint estimates
to final completion and settlement of payments of the project. The
methods followed for measurement are not uniform and considerable
differences exist between various Central and State Government departments. While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to
be ~ecifically rela~ to the administrative and financial organizations
Within the department responsible for work, a unification of the various
syatelDl at technical level has been accepted 81 very desirable, specially
u it permits a wider circle of operation for civil engineering contractors
and eliminates ambiguities and misunderstandings arising out of the
inadequa~ undentauding of varioUl systems followed,
