Why construction projects require a universal language of measurement
In short: Building a skyscraper requires more than just bricks and mortar; it requires a standardized way to count them. This video explores the evolution of measurement rules that ensure consistency across the global construction industry.
Methods of measurement provide a standardized set of rules for every phase of a construction project, from initial cost planning and estimating to procurement and whole-life costings. By adopting a uniform methodology, the industry can maintain consistency, avoid legal disputes, and establish clear benchmarks for projects of any size.
The video tracks the historical transition from the old Standard Method of Measurement to the New Rules of Measurement (NRM), which is the current industry standard. It specifically breaks down the three distinct volumes of the NRM framework: NRM1, NRM2, and NRM3.
