GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF TAKING-OFF

General Rules
Some of the general principles to be followed in taking-off building quantities are detailed in
the General Rules in Section A of the Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement of
Building Works Second Edition. The following clause is of particular importance:

1. Clause A.2.1 Bills of quantities shall fully describe and accurately represent
the quantity and quality of the works to be carried out. Work which cannot be
measured shall be given as a provisional sum. Work the extent of which is
not known shall be described as provisional or given in a bill of approximate
quantities.
2. Clause A.3.2 Unless otherwise stated, works shall be measured net as
fixed in position and each measurement shall be taken to the nearest 10mm
(i.e. 5mm and over shall be regarded as 10mm and less than 5mm shall be
disregarded).
3. Clause A.3.4 The use of hyphen between two dimensions in a bill of
quantities shall mean a range of dimensions exceeding the first dimension
stated but not exceeding the second.
4. Clause A.4.1 The order of stating dimensions in descriptions shall be
consistent and generally in the sequence of length, width and height. Where
that sequence is not appropriate or where ambiguity could arise, the
dimensions shall be specifically identified.
5. Clauses A.4.4 and A.4.5 Notwithstanding the provisions for labours to be
given as linear items or to be enumerated, such labours may be given in the
description of any linear items or enumerated items of work respectively on
which they occur.
6. Clause A.7.1 Where the unit of billing is the metre, square metre, cubic
metre or kilogramme, quantities shall be billed to the nearest whole unit.
Fractions of a unit less than half shall be disregarded and all other fractions
shall be regarded as a whole unit.
7. Clause A.7.2 Where the unit of billing is in tonne, quantities shall be billed
to the nearest two places of decimals.
8. Where the application of clauses A.7.1 and 2 would cause an entire item to
be eliminated, such item shall be enumerated stating the size or weight as
appropriate.

Dimensions Paper
Each dimension sheet is basically consisting of five main areas as below:

1. Timesing Column in which multiplying figures are entered when there is

more than one of the particular item being measured.
2. Dimension Column in which the actual dimensions, as scaled or taken direct
from the drawings, are entered.
3. Squaring Column in which the length, area or volume obtained by
multiplying together the figures or timesing column and dimension column
is recorded, ready for transfer to the abstract or bill.
4. Description Area in which the written description of each item is entered.
5. Waste Area in which the preliminary calculations, build up of lengths,
explanatory notes, location of measured work, and the like should not be
overlooked.

6
 Measurement of Construction Works IV (QSM551)

Dimensioning Items
The following rule must be adhered to when entering, altering or adjusting dimensions:

1. It is essential that ample space is left between all items on the dimension
sheets so that it is possible to follow the dimensions easily and to enable any
items, which may have been omitted when the dimensions were first taken-
off, to be subsequently inserted without cramping the dimensions unduly.
2. Many of the words entered in the description area are abbreviated in order to
save space and time spent in entering the items by highly skilled technical
staff.
3. Where more than one set of dimensions relate to the same description, the
dimensions should be suitably bracketed so that this shall be made clear.
4. The measuring dimensions shall be in black or blue in colour when inserted
in the dimension column whereas red colour is used for deduction the
measured dimensions.
5. If it is necessary to amend figures one procedure is to cross out the original
figures above them, but probably a better approach is to NIL the item as next
described, unless there is insufficient space.
6. Where it is required to omit dimensions which have previously been recorded
the easiest method is to write the word NIL in the squaring column.
7. When taking-off it is most desirable to use figured dimensions on the
drawings in preference to scaling, since drawings are almost invariably in the
form of prints, which are not always true to scale.
8. Each dimension sheet should be suitably needed with the title and taking-off
section of the job and with each sheet numbered consecutively.

Descriptions
Considerable care and skill are required to frame adequate, and yet at the same time, concise
descriptions as in the following:

1. In addition to covering all the matters detailed in the Malaysian Standard

Method of Measurement of Building Works Second Edition, the descriptions
must include all the information which the estimator will require to build up a
realistic price for the item in question.
2. The first few words of a description should clearly indicate the nature of the
item being described.
3. The second description indicates at the outset the nature of the item under
consideration.
4. In some cases it is necessary to give the number of units involved in a
superficial or linear item, in order that the estimator can determine the
average area or length of unit being price.
5. Where an entry on the dimensions paper is to be followed immediately by a
similar item, the use of the words ditto or do., meaning that which has
been said before, will permit the description of the next item to be reduced
considerably.
6. Another practice is to use expressions a.b. (as before) or a.b.d. (as before
described), to refer to a description which has occurred at some earlier point
in the taking-off.
7. When measuring certain types of work they are described as being extra
over another item of work which has been previously measured.
8. In the Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works
Second Edition, the expression deemed to be included is used extensively
and indicates that this particular work is covered in the billed item without the
need for specific mention.

Schedule
Schedule is a mean of setting down all relevant information in tabulated form when measuring
a number of items if similar characteristics but varying components.

Uses of Schedule are:

1. To collect together specification information to assist in speedy taking off.

2. For recording measurements and are in effect the taking-off.
3. Combination of both.

Good Practice During Taking-Off

It is expected that the taker off is familiar with the measurement of various elements or
sections and the following are some of the suggestions of good practice and steps to be taken
to reduce errors in taking off:

1. All drawing received for taking off shall be recorded and stamped with date.
Any drawings which are substantially changed by issue of later drawings
should be stamped SUPERSEDED and not be used for taking off. Only
latest drawings to be used for taking off unless it has been agreed that a date
is fixed for the receipt of the last drawings and any drawings issued after that
date would be treated as variation drawings.
2. Colour or strike off all items on the drawings after the items has been
measured to avoid double measurement.
3. After the taking off of an element is completed, go through your taking off
drawings and dimensions to ensure nothing has missed out.
4. On completion of all taking off, the team leader and all the taker offs shall go
through all drawings together to confirm all items have been measured and
not only overlooked but also avoid double measurement.
5. Before taking-off, check overall dimensions against built-up dimensions in
both architectural and structural engineering drawings. Also check the overall
dimensions in architectural against those in the structural drawings.
6. All items must be three dimensional and the booking of dimensions must be
consistent in the order of length, width and height or depth.
7. All dimensions must be annotated to ease post contract administration work.
8. All descriptions and notes on drawings shall be run through and taken into
account.
9. Prepare schedule whenever necessary. The schedules that are normally
required are:

a) Column bases/pile caps

b) Piles of different sizes and lengths
c) Internal finishes
d) Doors and ironmongery
e) Windows and ironmongery
f) Soil/waste manholes
g) Soil/waste drains
h) Sanitary fittings
i) P.C. and provisional sums

10. Never assume any details. In case of doubt, please clarify with the
Architect/Engineers. This can be done by listing all queries on Query List
Forms for confirmation. Any verbal answers to queries must be properly
recorded. At the completion of the bills of quantities preparation, forward a
copy of all queries to the Architect/Engineer for their record.
11. List down all the drawings used for the taking off at the beginning of
dimensions of each element.

8
 Measurement of Construction Works IV (QSM551)

12. All dimension sheets must be stamped with job number and title and the
element must be clearly indicated. Each sheet must be serially numbered.

13. During taking off, details of certain sections are not available yet, make To
Take notes on the dimensions so that the sections will not be overlooked
and resulting in non-measurements. Once the details are available and
measurements taken accordingly, the To Take notes shall be lined through
to indicate action has been taken.
14. Do not influence by the B.Q. items in front of you. You may miss new items
required to be measured based on your drawings. Do not assume that
whatever materials specified in previous B.Q. will be used in your present
B.Q. In case of doubt, always seek clarification.
15. During taking off, make notes or sketches on the dimension on items that
have been assumed in the absence of details so that the final accounts can
be prepared with ease.
16. Be careful with taking off especially in the timesing for repetitive items, use
the right set of drawings, booking of dimensions.
17. Once an element is edited, do an overall check on the quantities. Obvious
quantities errors will be detected and corrected before the bill goes to the
tenderers.
18. Once a bill of quantities is prepared and before everything is forgotten, all
dimensions, draft bills, query lists, taking off drawings must be properly
packed in boxes and labeled to avoid any frustrations in locating dimensions,
drawings, etc. in the running of the job by the surveyor who is doing the post
contract work.
19. Do not assume that border line items for any element will be measured by
others. Please check with the other taker off.
20. Any items which need timesing must be noted or done so immediately.
Always check the overall plans for the actual numbers of each items and do
not rely on the details for the number.

Errors in bills of quantities can be originated from any stages in their preparation and as
taking off being the first stage in their preparation, it will definite contribute very much towards
the production of accurate bills of quantities if sufficient care is taken. Always bear in mind
that accurate bills of quantities will greatly save from a lot of embarrassment in explaining
errors, facing litigations and unnecessary worry. On the other hand accurate bills of quantities
will build and maintain a good reputation in the profession.

 Measurement of Construction Works IV (QSM551)

Not exceeding 12.00m

12.00m 24.00m
exceeding 24.00m

b. The total driven area of the piles given in square metres

c. Corner, junction, closure and taper piles, where specifically
required, shall each be given in metres as extra over

into the following ranges of pile length:

Not exceeding 3.00m

Exceeding 3.00m

8. The following shall be given in metres:

a. Jetting where specifically required

e. The horizontal length of cutting interlocking piles to remove
tops

9. The following shall be enumerated:

d. Cutting interlocking steel piles to form holes

EXPLANATION ON QUANTITIES
Clause E.8 of the Malaysian Standard Method of Building Measurement Second Edition
states the method of measurement for taking-off quantities for piling works.

The related clauses in the Malaysian Standard Method of Building Measurement Second
Edition for explanation on quantities for Interlocking Steel Piles are as follows:

E.8 Quantities

1. The quantities for piling work shall be calculated as follows:

a. The specified length for pre-formed concrete, timber and

steel piles shall be those which the Contractor is instructed to
provide. Handling, transporting and pitching each length of
pile shall be deemed to be included with the piling items.
b. The driven or bored depth of each pile shall be measured
from the level stated in accordance with Clause E.3 to the
bottom of the toe, to the bottom of the driven casing or to the
bottom of the bored shaft. The measurement for the total
driven depth includes for driving extended piles.
c. The concreted length measured for cast-in-place piles shall
be from cut-off level specifically required to toe level
specifically required and shall include enlarged bases.
d. The areas measured for interlocking steel piling shall be
based on the mean length measured on the centre line of the
piling, over all corner, junction, taper and closure piles.
e. The measurement of pile extensions shall not include length
formed of material arising from cutting off surplus lengths of

13
 Measurement of Construction Works IV (QSM551)

other piles. It shall deem to include the work necessary to

attach the extension to the pile
f. Disposal of surplus excavated material including surplus
piles arising from piling operations shall be deemed to be
included with the piling items

SCHEDULE OF PILING WORKS

As mentioned in Lecture Note 1, it is good practice to have the measurement of piling works
of different sizes and length in the form of a schedule. This is because of it is easier and
faster to use the schedule of piling works as the mean of recording measurements in
tabulated form due to measurement a number of items with similar characteristics but varying
components.

The schedule of piling works, therefore, used as the taking off for the relevant piling works
measurement of quantities. Thus, the columns set in the schedule of piling should follow the
taking-off list or the bodies of measurement for piling works.

The attached schedule of piling works is one of the examples for the preparation of the
schedule.
