we need to count the t junctions for make the relevant adjustments.When cross walls or
partitions or veranda walls join with main wall, the centre line length gets reduced by half of
breadth for each junction. Such junction or joints are studied carefully while calculating total
centre line length.

Trench excavation also coming under the Excavation and filling work section and the item or
work to be measured is Excavation, commencing level stated if not original ground level and
the unit of measurement is meter cube and its coming under foundation excavation and the
depth is varying in 3 different depths according to NRM 2.

E.g.: Length 15000mm, Width 6000mm, Thick of wall 300mm

Girth Calculation

L= 2/15000 30000mm
W = 2/6000 12000mm
External Girth 42000 mm

Deduct Corners:

4/2/ 2 /225 900mm

Mean Girth 41100mm

Deduct Corners:

Internal Girth 40200mm

After calculating the mean girth we can measure the trench excavation as follows

Disposal

The excavated material should be removed from the site. According to NRM 2 its coming
under the Excavation and filling work section as Disposal, the unit of measure is as item and
its splitting into 2 sections as Ground water and Excavated material off site.

Concrete foundation

It also knows as Bed Concrete which is laid against earth surface to gain a plain platform for
the foundation.A mass concrete surface bed is the un-reinforced slab that is supported by the
ground, unlike a suspended slab. It can be on fill, which should not exceed 600mm in
thickness. The formation may be shaped for thickenings and covered with hardcore and sand
bedding or a layer of blinding concrete. It may also need a sheet plastics damp proof
membrane, depending on site conditions and building occupancy.

This is coming under the In-situ concrete work section, the item or work to be measured is
Horizontal work, the unit of measurement is meter cube and thickness is 300mm or
>300mm, and the location also may stated as in blinding or structures or staircase according
to NRM 2.

Masonry Brick Work

According to NRM 2 it measured under the Masonry section. The item or work to be
measured is Walls and the unit of measurement is meter squired and it comes under
Brickwork.
