A Southern African edition of Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM3) has recently been published, following inputs from local industry stakeholders. It is a regional customisation of a well-established standard for the preparation of bills of quantities for civil engineering work, developed by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) (London). It is suitable for use with international, national, organisational and bespoke standards using most forms of contract.

CESMM3 costs R500 including VAT but SAICE is offering it with a discount of 5% while stocks last. Please contact Angelene on +27 (0)11 805 5947. You can also complete the attached order form and e-mail to angie at saice.org.za<mailto:angie at saice.org.za> or fax to +27 (0)11 805 5971


Some background on CESMM3
The current methodology for measuring civil engineering quantities is contained in clause 8 of the SANS 1200 Standardized specifications for civil engineering construction read together with the South African Institution of Civil Engineering’s (SAICE) Civil Engineering Quantities (1990). The SANS 1200 series of standards, which were developed and last updated during the 1980s, was designed for use with SAICE’s General Conditions of Contract. In line with modern drafting requirements for documents embodied in the Construction Industry Development Board’s Standard for Uniformity in Construction Procurement, SABS has published the SANS 1921 series of standards for construction and management requirements for works contracts and most of the SANS 2001 series of technical standards for construction works. The Southern African edition of CESMM3 is compatible with these standards and is suitable for use with international, national, organizational, industry and bespoke standards and most standard forms of contract.
