BUILDING QUANTITIES
An Introduction Using
Construction Electronic
Measurement Standards
by Ai-Lin Teo, and David Langdon
2008 (January 2008) / Softcover with CD / 192 pages
ISBN: 978-0-07-127482-1
(Asian Publication)
Building Quantities: An Introduction using Construction Electronic
Measurement Standards (Revised Edition) aims to provide students
with an understanding of the general principles and steps adopted
in the preparation of Bill of Quantities (BQ), and is designed to be
used in conjunction with the SS CP 97:2002 Construction Electronic
Measurement Standards (CEMS), Part 1: SMM for Building Works.
It presents a comprehensive overview of measurement techniques
and a step-by-step guide to e-measurement.
v The book includes examples of taking-off and sample Bills of
Quantities as additional illustrations, and presents insights into other
facets of quantity surveying tasks.

Part I of the book discusses the restructuring of the construction
industry, the need for CEMS and its impact on the quantity surveying
profession. It also discusses the future of quantity surveying in the
use of Information Technology (IT). Part II discusses the principles of
measurement, construction terminology, and standard abbreviations
used by quantity surveyors. The measurement rules and taking-off process
are also discussed here. The Specifications and Billing Process
chapters are found in Part III of the book. Part IV discusses the steps
in generating quantities from virtual building models using CEMS.
The easy-to-follow guide to electronic measurement is presented
in a CD-ROM. This guide is the result of a collaborative research in
generating quicker and more accurate quantities from Object Oriented
CAD building models using CEMS. It contains the step-by-step guide
to e-taking-off and e-billing and how to create the component library
using the CEMS.
FEATURES
v
This is the first building e-measurement book in Singapore.
v The book corresponds with the syllabus of building courses in
Singapore tertiary institutions.
v The sequence of this book corresponds with the actual taking-off
sequence of simple single storey buildings.
