This book provides detailed guidance to taking off building work using illustrated examples. It's an ideal workbook especially for technicians entering the construction industry from school considering a trade or technical career, or students of quantity surveying, construction and civil engineering when learning to measure building work. A detailed step-by-step guide to taking off building work. Pitched at a basic introductory level suitable for technicians entering the construction industry from school, perhaps intending to follow a trade or technical career, this is an ideal workbook for students of quantity surveying, construction and civil engineering when learning to measure building work. It introduces students to the most basic aspects of measurement and prepares them for learning the more complex areas of taking-off. The book works through examples based on the measurement of a simple traditional pair of semi-detached (duplex) houses, with the relevant construction technology explained throughout. Although the format largely follows UK taking off practice and conventions, it will be directly applicable to international practice in countries broadly following UK conventions.
