HISTORY OF CESMM & BQ 1859 Ö Formal BQ introduced 1933 Ö ICE introduced standard procedure for BQ 1953 Ö SMM for Civil Engineering Quantities (ICE) 1967 Ö CIRIA report 34 1968 Ö SMM for Civil Engg Quantities (metric) (ICE) 1976 Ö 1st Edition of CESMM-UK 1985 Ö 2nd Edition of CESMM-UK 1991 Ö 3rd Edition of CESMM-UK
SMM IN MALAYSIA CESMM3 Ö UK - 1991 CESMM(M) - 2003 SMM2 Ö ISM Ö 2001

SOME BASIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 3 SMMs
SMM2-ISM covers mainly building works and does not cover civil engineering works
CESMM(M) covers mainly civil engineering works and does not cover building works
CESMM(M) in tabulated format whereas SMM2-ISM in descriptive format
CESMM3-UK has separate items for supply and lay whereas CESMM(M) has supply and lay under 1 item
e.g. concreting works
CESMM3-UK Ö supply (1), lay (2)
CESMM(M) Ö supply and lay (1)

SOME DEFINITIONS OF BQ The Bill of Quantities (BQ) is the agreed statement of the
prices which will be paid for work done by the Contractor for the Client and it shares with the drawings, specifications and schedules the responsibility for defining what has been agreed shall be done
The essential functions of the BQ is to limit the difficulty the Client has in forecasting and defining to a Contractor what is required to do.
On the other hand it limits the difficulty the Contractor has in forecasting precisely what the work will cost.
KEY WORD IS SPREADING THE RISKS

ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN USING SMM
Improved Standard Method of Measurement for Civil Engineering Works
Water Malaysia 2011
JKR 203A CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT
JKR 203A (Rev. 10/83) • Clause 26(b) requires the BQ to be prepared in accordance with the
SMM for Building Works prepared by Institute of Surveyors,
Malaysia
JKR 203A (2007) • Clause 26.4 in the new form allows SMM for preparation of BQ to
be also based on CESMM by ICE or any Method of Measurement as
set out in the BQ in addition to the SMM for Building Works by
ISM. Contractor says he uses CESMM3-UK to price it but the
Engineer says he is using SM-ISM?

SOME ISSUES IN USING SMM
Although the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM) by ICE UK is often used for works of a civil engineering nature but there are many occasions particularly for, water supply, wastewater, etc, Consultants utilise their own Standard Method of Measurement.
Ö Under 1 Item - Supply, lay, including excavation, valves, thrust blocks, etc
Ö Under 4 Items - Excavation (I), Supply & Lay including joints (2), Valve (3), Thrust blocks (4)
Ö Under 7 Items - Excavation (I), Supply (2), Lay (3), Cutting of Pipes (4), Joints (5), Valve (6), Thrust blocks (7)

SOME ISSUES IN USING SMM Trench excavation
Payment based on this
width?? Or this width??
If this width, what angle to
use??

SOME ISSUES IN USING SMM
3 m
7 m
SOME SAY OTHERS
Piling works
Pay 10m for supply and 7 m for driving
Pay 7m for supply and 7 m for driving
Who can say exactly what depth of pile to be driven??

Code numbers are important feature in CESMM but it is the most difficult to use and therefore not widely used
Standard Library with code numbers
Format in Excel as it is widely used
Used as a checklist and copy items to BQ as required

STANDARD LIBRARY
How to use the Standard Library of BQ
One spreadsheet file contains multiple sheets
Open up a standard spreadsheet file and format to Std BQ format
Click on relevant class of work and scroll down until the desired item
Copy the required item in the user spreadsheet file
The item description as guide only and are with á[…….]à or á(…..)à
After the editing is done, the á[…….]à or á(…..)à should be removed
