Measurement Rules (7)
C1 1

The area to be measured for roof coverings, etc. is the surface area of the roof covering to the extremities of the eaves or to the internal face of the parapet wall, whichever is applicable, excluding the area of rooflights, skylights and openings. No deduction is made for voids less than 1.00m2 in surface area.

C2 2

The area to be measured for dormer coverings is the surface area of the dormer roof coverings to the extremities of the eaves. No deduction is made for voids less than 1.00m2 in surface area.

C3 3

Where more than one type of roof covering system is employed, the area measured for each system is the area covered by the system.

C4 4

The length of linear components measured is their extreme length.

C5 5

Curved work is to be described and identified separately.

C6 6

Work to existing buildings is to be described and identified separately.

C7 7

Where the contractor is only responsible for designing specific elements and/or components of the building project, contractor-designed work is to be described and identified separately.

Note: Applicable when the contractor is not responsible for the entire building project.
