Taking off top tip - Measurement of alterations.

Alterations

Measuring alteration work is one of my favourite tasks as it allows the quantity surveyor to use their descriptive talents!

Best practice

It is important when preparing a document containing alteration work for pricing that:

• the location of the work can be clearly determined from the description,

• similar work located in different locations is not lumped together,

• spot items are set out in a logical progression from location to location in existing buildings and

• the description or associated drawings and specification clearly identifies;

  • existing services and

  • toxic or hazardous materials, including asbestos of an appropriate risk allowance
