FOREWORD
The Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works for the Philippines was first
published by Davis Langdon & Seah Philippines, Inc. in 1996.
The Second Edition was published in 1999.
The Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works for the Philippines has been
utilized on a number of major construction and development projects throughout the
Philippines and to that extent has become an industry standard.

Preface
In recent years Quantity Surveying has become a well recognised and increasingly important profession in the construction industry in the Philippines. With Bills of Quantities
being used more extensively for tender documentation it has become necessary to produce a local Standard Method of Measurement with the following aims in mind:-
(a) To produce a method of measurement which is based on local construction techniques and using local terminology
(b) To produce a method of measurement based on local estimating methods
(c) To produce a method of measurement which is consistent and easy to understand
One of the means of achieving these aims was to produce this method of measurement based on the 16 division format used in North America for specifications and other
project information. This is published in various forms by several U.S. and Canadian Organisations and has been widely adopted for use on projects in the Philippines. This
method of measurement is based on the version published as "Masterformat, Master List of Titles and Numbers for the Construction Industry" produced by the Construction
Specifications Institute (Canada) and Construction Specifications Canada. This will make a move towards greater uniformity in the production of information on construction
projects making it more clear and easily understood by everyone involved.
Prior to the introduction of this Standard Method of Measurement for the Philippines (PSMM), methods of measurement from other countries have been used which have not
achieved the criteria above. With the launch of PSMM we hope that estimators will be able to price tenders accurately and with confidence and the administration of contracts
will become easier. The PSMM was first published in March 1997. This second edition has incorporated comments and suggestion made to the first edition and also
incorporates new sections for MEP works.
In an effort to continuously improve this PSMM we welcome comments and suggestion from clients, consultants, contractors and interested bodies.
This PSMM is produced exclusively for use by Davis Langdon & Seah and expressed written permission should be obtained from us should any third party wish to make use of
it.

General Principles
1. Introduction 2.2
The classification table is split into four columns. Each item description shall
1.1 identify the work with respect to one descriptive feature drawn from each of the

building works and embodies the essentials of good practice. Bills of Quantities features in the fourth column as are applicable to the item.
shall fully describe and accurately represent the quantity and quality of the
works to be carried out. More detailed information than is required by these 2.3
rules shall be given where necessary in order to define the nature and extent of The lists in each column is not intended to be exhaustive.
the required work.
2.4
1.2 Within the classification table, where a broken line is shown, the rules given
The rules apply to measurement of proposed work and executed work. above and below the broken line may be used as alternatives.
1.3 Supplementary rules

Work is held to be carried out in accordance with the relevant Specification
Clauses and drawings as though they were fully set out in the bills of quantities. 2.5
Within the supplementary rules everything above the bold horizontal line, which
2. Use of the tabulated rules is immediately below the classification table heading, is applicable throughout
that table.
Generally 2.6
Measurement rules set out when work shall be measured and the method by
2.1 which quantities shall be computed.
The rules in this document are set out in tables. Each table is split into three
parts: 2.7
(a) Information to be provided which lists any information which is required to Definition rules define the extent and limits of the work represented by a word
be provided with the bills of quantities or expression used
(b) Classification table where the main components of the description are
contained 2.8
(c) Supplementary rules for the preparation of the bills of quantities which are Coverage rules draw attention to particular incidental work which are held to be
separated into four types; measurement rules, definition rules, coverage included in items
rules and supplementary information
2.9
Supplementary Information defines information which is to be given in
descriptions in addition to that contained in the classification table.

3. Quantities 4.3
Work in repairs should be given separately and described as "in repairs" or
further described as necessary to convey the nature of the repair work
3.1
Work is measured net as fixed in position except where otherwise stated in a 4.4
measurement rule applicable to the work. Dimensions are stated in descriptions generally in the sequence length, width,
height. Where ambiguity could arise, the dimensions shall be identified.
3.2
Dimensions used in calculating quantities shall be taken to the nearest 10mm 4.5
(i.e. 5mm and over shall be regarded as 10mm and less than 5mm shall be Information required by the rules of this method of measurement may be given
disregarded). in documents separate from the bills of quantities (e.g. drawings or
specification).
3.3 To assist the estimator a precise and unique cross reference should be given in
Quantities shall be given to the nearest whole unit except that any quantity less place of the information within the description of the item concerned.
than one unit shall be given as one unit.
4.6
3.4 Where information required by the rules of this method of measurement are not

within the boundaries of measured areas. Openings, block-outs or wants which
are at the boundaries of measured areas shall always be the subject of deduction 4.7
irrespectively of size. Additional information should be given in descriptions in respect of any
particular requirements or restrictions on the method of carrying out the work
3.5 which are not otherwise required by the rules of this method of measurement
The requirement to measure separate items for widths or girths not exceeding a
stated limit shall not apply where these widths are caused by voids 4.8
Where the nature of base is required to be stated the following general terms
may be used:
4. Descriptions (a) Timber which is held to include plywood, blockboard and all other
manufactured building boards
4.1 (b) Metal which is held to include any type of metal
Where work is required to be described as curved it should further be described (c) Concrete which is held to include concrete unit masonry, cementitous
as applicable where the curve is in more than one plane such as domed work toppings and cementitous plaster
Curved work is held to include: 4.9
(a) all junctions between straight and curved work Work is held to include for fixing through any types of finishes applied to the
(b) work which is flewing except as otherwise provided surface of the base including glass, stone, ceramic and any other vulnerable
materials
4.2
Where sizes are required to be given in descriptions they may be given in ranges 4.10
where appropriate The use of a hyphen between two dimensions signifies a range of dimensions
exceeding the first dimension stated but not exceeding the second.

4.11 6. Work of Special Types
Unless otherwise specifically stated in the bills of quantities, the following shall be
held to be included with all items: 6.1
(a) Labor and all costs in connection therewith Work of each of the following special types shall be separately identified:
(b) Materials, goods and all costs in connection therewith (a) Work on or in existing building.
(c) Assembling, hoisting, fitting and fixing materials and goods in position (b) Work to be carried out and subsequently removed (other than temporary

for fixing such as adhesives, mortar for bedding, grouting materials, tying wire, 7.1
bolts, nails, screws and ties and all consumables. Where work can be described and given in items in accordance with these rules but
the quantity of work required cannot be accurately determined, an estimate of the
4.13 quantity shall be given and identified as a provisional quantity.
Work is held to include:
(a) All temporary work as necessary and its subsequent removal including 7.2
scaffolding, supports, protective screens and the like unless otherwise required Where work cannot be described and given in items in accordance with these rules
by the rules it shall be given as a provisional sum.
