Willis's Elements of Quantity Surveying

The measurement of building elements is a core subject for
quantity surveying students. Responding to the recently published
second volume of the New Rules of Measurement (NRM2) by the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the 12th edition of Willis's
Elements of Quantity Surveying explains, from first principles and
to NRM2 standards, the measurement process for all the key building
elements.

This edition begins with an overview of the need for measurement
and the differing rules governing measurement at different stages
of the design or project cycle. As in previous editions the focus
remains the detailed measurement of building elements, but the text
has been fully revised in line with the NRM2 rules. A range of new
and revised examples illustrating the use of NRM2 rules are a key
feature of the book, which concludes with guidance on how to use
the data collected during the measurement process to create the
tender documents.

In the 12th edition the hallmarks of previous editions ?
clarity and practicality ? have been maintained while
ensuring the book is fully up to date, providing the student of
quantity surveying with a first class introduction to the
measurement of building elements.
