Quantity measurement

Hi mohsin

What are a RMT and SMT?
However I understand RMT9 (m. )Is running meter and SMT (m2) square meter pls used universal abbreviation otherwise used full context.
Whatsoever, your answer shall depend on the method of measurement. Such as SMM7, POMI,ect for building project.
Ex- in POMI, if the void area less than m2 will not be deduct

Dear satish

Yes you got it right Running metre and Square metre anyways the Area after deduction is 17000 sft excluding ligts ,the area of ech tile is 4 sft the area of each light is 4 sft x 150 nos = 600 sft, whether this area of 600 sft should be deducted from the total area of 1700 sft ? The grid area and tile area are measured separately In your reply you said the void area less than m2 (in which context with whole area or localised )can you please elaborate on this aspect and The abbreviations you used for measurement SMM7 and POMI please expand it .

mohsin,

for info:

POMI = Principles of Measurement International

SMM7 = Standard Method of Measurement 7th Edition by RICS

You have to buy the book for more elaboration.

Peace!

Hi Moshin

Philip has given correct answer. Moshin that deduction shall be depend on the method of measurement which adopted in the contract or price preamble.
If the contract does not mentioned elsewhere then all quantities should be measured as Nett is a best practise.
