FOREWORD
This Standard was originally published in 1951 as NZS 670 and
revised in 1967, in imperial units. In 1972 a metric version of NZS
670:1967, without technical alteration, was published as NZS
4202:1972, and revised in 1975 and 1986.
This revision of the document has been a rationalization and upgrading
to cover new materials rather than a radical change.
Attention is drawn to the availability of NZS 4224:1983 Code of
practice for measurement of civil engineering quantities and it is
recommended that that Standard be used where works are substantially
of a generally accepted civil engineering nature.
The phrase “and the like” is used extensively throughout the Standard.
The intent of its use is to include similar materials and methods to
those specifically cited.
In the process of updating NZS 4202, the NZ Master Builders
Federation (lnc.) and NZ Institute of Quantity Surveyors “Joint NZS
4202 Revision Committee” have agreed on a definition fora Schedule
(Bill) of Quantities, thus:
“Schedule (Bill) of Quantities
A Schedule (Bill) of Quantities is adocument that contains descriptions
andor measurements of all items of work required to carry out a given
construction project. It shall be in a form that enables pricing by
tenderers who will necessarily refer to other tender documents such
asdrawings, specificationsandconditionsof contract in the preparation
of tenders.
A Schedule (Bill) of Quantities is compiled from information provided
in drawings, specifications, conditions of contract and like documents
as prepared by the designers. It should be presented in a form to suit
tradehdustry pricing and tendering practice (generally without need
of further measurement) and to suit the monetary administration and
financial control of construction projects.”
