1. Brief Report on SMM and NRM Suite Measurement
1a. Introduction
The SMM stands for standard method of measurement and it has been defined by the
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors for aligning with the implementation of the detailed
calculation and table analysis (Designingbuildings.co.uk. 2018). An industry based analysis had
been deployed for uniform measuring analysis of the building works. The adoption of the best
practice for the analysis would be based on the avoidance of the disputes.
The NRM or new rules of measurement was also published by the Royal Institute of
Chartered Surveyors Quantity Surveying and Construction Professional Group
(Designingbuildings.co.uk. 2018). Some standard set of measurement would be used for
estimating the cost and procurement plan. The adoption of the standard methodology for the
NRM would be based on the consistent facility and benchmarking that would be helpful for
dealing with the disputes.
1b. Use of SMM Period Work Measurement
The SMM stands for standard method of measurement and it has been defined by the
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors for aligning with the implementation of the detailed
calculation and table analysis (Maurer et al. 2018). The SMM provide the detailed information
for building works and it is helpful for forming the uniform basis for facilitating the industry
wide consistency. The SMM has been typically used for the preparation of bills of quantities and
documents for providing measures of the work items. The analysis would be based on the
significant development of the work identified with the specification and drawings. The tender
