This book is an extension to the worked examples contained in Building Quantities Explained. It is intended to assist students in the later years of degree and higher diploma and certificate courses in quantity surveying and building, and those studying for the later examinations of the appropriate professional bodies such as RICS, CIOB, IAAS and CSI. The main objective of the book is to match the appropriate subject heading of most relevant examinations and to produce a selection of worked examples, supported by comprehensive explanatory notes, and covering a reasonable range of constructional components that the candidate may face in the examination. The measurement examples in the second edition follow closely the principles outlined in SMM7 and the Code of Procedure for Measurement of Building Works. Some revision notes based on examiners' reports have been included at the end of the text.
