BUILDING MEASUREMENT (M & E)

This course is designed as an introduction for students who wish to obtain a working knowledge of measurement of mechanical and electrical works within a building in accordance with the Standard Method of Measurement (SMM7). It may also be of benefit to those who have acquired some knowledge and wish to further improve their skills.

The course consists of taking-off quantities and becoming familiar with Quantity Surveying duties and terminology including billing. The course consists of an excellent reference book together with a work manual but does NOT include a Standard Method of Measurement as most companies have a copy.
