Taking

off substructure works pdf

The first step of taking off is preparing a take off list. This list serves the purpose of: Identifying elements accounted for in the substructureEstablishing the order of workActing as a checklist once measurement is complete Along with the take off list, comes a Query Sheet. As the name suggests, this ‘sheet’ allows the measurer to state any areas not
accounted for or any assumptions taken whilst taking off. It is common for the drawings to not be sufficient to supply all required information. The query sheet allows other members of the team to identify the gaps, discuss them and supply the relevant information. Generally a typical substructure will have the following: The above list is not
comprehensive. All buildings are different and you may therefore be faced with other scenarios. It is however a great guide. The list will appear as follows: Typical take off list Click here to view how to measure other elements.
Title of Book: Taking Off Quantities: Civil Engineering Edited By: Tweeds (Chartered Quantity Surveyors, Cost Engineers, Construction Economists) Download: [PDF] Taking Off Quantities: Civil Engineering About Book This book, Taking off Quantities for Civil Engineering, represents the appendices from CEMM3 explained together with the first two
chapters which deal with general principles of measurement and how CEMM3 works. This book is very important to students studying Civil engineering and Quantity surveying in higher institutions. Detail taking off examples such as Roads, Reinforcement, Retaining walls, etc. has been presented in the text to help students get understanding of how
to take off quantities from drawings.

Uren and W.F. Price6 Major Contract Documents Use in Civil Engineering Contracts SITE PREPARATION The first building operation is normally the excavation of the topsoil for preservation over the whole area of the building and this usually forms the first excavation item in the Excavating and Earthwork Work Section of the bill of quantities. The
area is measured to the outer extremities of the foundations in m2 and the average depth, often 150 mm, is included in the description. EXCAVATION TO REDUCE LEVELS Where the site is sloping or the ground levels are generally higher than is required then further excavation is required to reduce the level of the ground to the specified formation
level. This excavation is measured in m3, as excavation to reduce levels, giving the appropriate maximum depth range. EXCAVATION OF FOUNDATION TRENCHES Foundation trench excavation is measured in m3, stating the commencing level. Excavating below groundwater level is given in m3 as extra over any types of excavating. Excavating
around existing services is measured in m as extra on items for excavating, stating the type of service, such as gas or water mains, electricity or ESB cables or sewers. While excavating around existing services crossing excavation is an enumerated extra over item. Breaking out rock; concrete; reinforced concrete; brickwork, blockwork or stonework
shall each be described and measured separately in m3 as extra on items of excavating. While breaking out existing hard pavings is measured in m2, stating the thickness, as extra on excavating. DISPOSAL OF EXCAVATED MATERIAL The subsequent disposal of excavated material forms a separate billed item in m3, either of soil to be stored on-site,
used as filling to make up levels, filling to excavations, or to be removed off the site. BASEMENT EXCAVATION Basement excavation is measured to the outside of foundations in m3 stating the maximum depth range. CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS Concrete particulars are to include the kind and quality of materials, mix details, tests of materials and
finished work, methods of compaction and curing and other requirements. Concrete foundations include attached column bases and attached pile caps, while isolated foundations include isolated column bases and pile caps. Beds and slabs include attached beams and beam casings. In-situ concrete is measured in m3. On a sloping site the concrete
foundations will probably be stepped and it will be necessary to measure the additional concrete at the step and a linear item of formwork to the face of the step. If the concrete foundations are reinforced with fabric reinforcement, the reinforcement is measured net in m2 stating the mesh reference, weight per m2 and minimum laps. Bar
reinforcement is billed in tonnes, keeping each diameter (nominal size) separate, although it will be entered by length on the dimensions sheet, distinguishing between straight, bent and curved bars. Hooks and tying wire, and spacers and chairs which are at the discretion of the contractor are deemed to be included. CONCRETE BEDS In-situ
concrete beds are measured in m3, stating the appropriate thickness and including in the description where poured on or against earth or unblinded hardcore. Treating the surface of insitu concrete is classified and given in m2. Common surface treatments include power floating, trowelling, hacking, grinding, sand blasting, bush hammering and
brushed. A tamped finish is deemed to be included. Hardcore and similar beds are measured in m3, classified as to whether the average thickness is ≤ or > 250 mm, the nature of the filling material and its source and/or treatment. PRECAST CONCRETE FLOORS Such work is measured in m2, the concrete, reinforcement and formwork to be included
in composite construction shall be described. Another alternative to reinforced in-situ concrete slabs on upper floors is to use precast concrete hollow core slabs grouted after laying. These are measured in the same way as the precast concrete beam and block floor. This type of floor has the advantage of faster erection times and the virtual
elimination of shuttering and pouring of concrete. OTHER SUBSTRUCTURE WORK Brick and Block Walling Block and brick walling is measured in m2 and described as wall in trenches, stating the nominal thickness, such as 100 mm, and whether there is facework (fair finish) on one or both sides. Facework Brick facework is included in the
measurement of the brickwork on which it occurs, with a description of the kind, quality and size of bricks, type of bond, composition and mix of mortar and type of pointing. Damp-proof Courses Damp-proof courses are measured in m where it is ≤ 225 mm wide and in m2 where > 225 mm wide. Vertical, raking, horizontal and stepped work, are so
described. The description of the damp-proof course contains particulars of the materials used, including the kind and quality of the materials. No allowance is made for laps, Deemed to be Included. Damp-proof Membranes This work is normally measured as one continuous sheet in m2 stating that it is horizontal and > 300 mm in width.
