Measurements and Comparison of Budgets

The Project Measurements is a detailed document of the resources necessary to execute a work. Its purpose is that a qualified builder makes a budget, the budgets received can be compared with each other and there are no problems or misunderstandings in the construction phase.

“Some measurements quantitatively specify the project and make it possible to obtain the builder’s budget. They are used to compare apples with apples and pears with pears”

An analysis of the project is carried out and several components that are necessary for its execution are measured, such as:

• The labor associated or not associated with the items.
• Auxiliary means (scaffolding, cranes, etc.) type, surface, etc.
• The materials that are necessary: quality, way of placing them, etc.
• Amount of waste generated and its processing.

Detailed measurements by items of the project that the client wishes to execute. These measurements will be ordered by chapters and each item will describe the characteristic and the materials, the quantity necessary for the execution and the labor required. With these measurements it will be possible to make a comparison and assessment and analysis of possible errors in the builders’ budgets.
