Gain an understanding of the items to be measured and catalogue them in a systematic and
comprehensive manner, in accordance with AS1181-1982 Method of measurement of civil
engineering works and associated building works.
Page 3 of 6
Ensure all aspects of the scope of works for the project are included in the take-off.
Gain an awareness of the level of detail required to accurately estimate the extent of works
to build the project
The following quantities will be aggregated for the purpose of obtaining subcontractor prices:
Concrete quantities will be assumed to include formwork, reinforcing steel (rebar). The
description you develop for the line item should make it clear that formwork and rebar are
included. You will not be required to measure these separately.
The calculated weight of each item of Structural steelwork will include all necessary
fabrications (structural profiles, plates, cleats etc.) that form part of the item being
measured
The area of roof plumbing to be measured shall cover the whole area of the roof and be
described to include roof sheeting, flashings, gutters and downpipes. You do not need to
measure gutters, flashings or downpipes separately for this assignment.
Hint: As a guide in the preparation of this quantity take-off you should expect to measure
approximately 30 various quantity items grouped under some 5 category sub headings. This may be
quite time consumming, so make sure you make an early start on this assignment.
ASSIGNMENT #1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
1. Presentation of your Assignment submission
This assignment is to be submitted with an assignment cover sheet followed by the BofQ and
supporting calculations, stapled at the top left hand corner. DO NOT bind the submission or put it in
a fancy cover or plastic sleeves. (Refer to Blackboard for form of assignment cover sheet).
2. Quantity Take-off and Australian Standard for Measurement of Civil Works
You are to measure the quantities for the items listed in the drawings and described in Assignment
#1 Bill of Quantity take-off
Your Bill of Quantities will have the following header on each page:Item
Description
Quantity Unit
Rate
Amount
Assignment #1 requires a quantity take-off which is a measure of quantities & units only (Except for
PC items and firm quotations as detailed above). The Rate and Amount columns will remain
blank, to be calculated at another time.
The description of each item in the Bill of Quantities list is required to be in the form of a brief
description that includes a clear explanation of the task in the form of noun and verb for the
measured items.
e.g. Supply and install 900 x 900 precast concrete stormwater pitetc.(with other
information identifiers such as location and/or details specific to that particular item etc.)
Refer to Australian Standard AS1181-1982 Method of measurement of civil engineering works and
associated building works for the rules about how to do a quantity take off. A sample extract from
the standard has been supplied for your reference.
Students will need to refer to the whole standard available from the Swinburne Library web page;
select Databases/Standards/Australian Standards/ and search on AS 1181.

Note: There is a limit of four users logged on at any one time to the Standards Australia
website. If you download the AS1181 .pdf file and save it to flash drive it will remain readable
for 48 hours. If you copy the .pdf file and paste it to a Word document the format will be poor
and you are required by Copyright Law to limit that content to a maximum of 10% of the
document. The best approachis to print out the Standard in notebook form (2 to a page and
double sided) for your ongoing reference.
You are to prepare the materials take-off measurement in the above BofQ format. The calculations
are to be in an Excel spreadsheet model with quantities referenced to the Quantity column for the
appropriate items in the Bill of Quantities.
Print out your Bill of Quantities results and calculations spread sheets and submit them in hard copy.
All calculations must be done on the spreadsheet. Hand sketches, if needed, can be scanned and
inserted as a JPEG picture in the Excel spread sheet.
Where an item is not fully detailed on the drawings you are expected to estimate by scaling off the
drawing and/or assuming a sensible value.
The spreadsheet file name that you create for this assignment is to have your student ID number
included in the file name.
3. Tips for setting up the Bill of Quantities:
The AS1181 standard gives you the sequence for listing the trades in the Bill of Quantities (BofQ), the
units and what goes where. It also indicates what should be measured and how to group various
types of work.
The standard is 53 pages and you will need to be selective about the degree of detail that you use. In
this instance, i.e. for this assignment you do not need different strengths of concrete, so find the
sections and part(s) that you need.
Set out your calculations in the quantities calculations spread sheets in the same sequence as you
intend the BofQ to appear. Setup your Excel spreadsheet targetting the calculation results (with
relative and absolute cell addresses) to the BofQ table so that if you change a quantity the result
automatically adjusts in the BofQ. This makes it less likely for you to make a mistake than transfering
the numbers manually.
As the first step, set out the headings, sub-headings and line descriptions of the BofQ using AS1181
(and information herein) as a guide and then use this as the template for your calculation sheet.
Group like tasks under suitable subheadings in the BofQ so that those sections of the BofQ can be
used to obtain subcontractor prices for their area of work e.g. all steelwork grouped under
Structural Steel.

Divide the project into its major subdivisions and then by trade or subcontract
within each subdivision, e.g. Excavation: Cut, Fill, Cartage to spoil etc.
Where location is significant group minor trades together under one heading.
Subtotal quantities that are built in different locations or stages of construction
Dimensions always Length x Width x Height.

with modifications, then both of you risk being penalised by loosing some or all of your
marks in addition to other consequences that may be imposed upon you.
2. The quality of the work that you produce is important and setout and logical presentation of
this assignment will be marked.
3. The content of the electronic copy must be identical to the hard copy. You will be marked
on the hard copy. The electronic copy to be used, as necessary, for back up and verification
of spreadsheets.
