Units: sunshade, shutters, grills, AC sheet
Short answer
R.C. sunshade with specified width and thickness is measured in running metre along its length; shutters in m²; iron grills in m² or kg; AC/CGI roof sheets in m² of covered roof area, overlaps not measured.
Write down the unit of measurement and unit of payment for the following items of works: i) R.C. sunshade with specified width and height ii) Thickness specified shutter of doors and windows iii) Iron grills iv) Asbestos cement sheet in roofs.
| Item | Unit of measurement | Unit of payment |
|---|---|---|
| i) R.C. sunshade (chajja) with width and thickness specified | m (running metre), measured along its length; if the width and thickness are not specified, the concrete is measured in m³ (formwork in m², steel in kg) | m (running metre) |
| ii) Shutters of doors and windows, thickness specified | m² of shutter | m² |
| iii) Iron grills | m² of area (or kg by weight) | m² or kg |
| iv) Asbestos cement (AC) / CGI sheet in roofs | m² of the covered roof area, net, with overlaps not measured | m² |
Note: in new work, asbestos-cement sheets have largely been replaced by CGI or colour-coated sheets, but the unit remains m².
