Since its introduction in 1976, the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM) has proved to be extremely resilient in meeting the needs of those engaged in preparing contracts based on traditional ‘measure & value’ principles. CESMM4 may be used with any conditions of contract for civil engineering work that includes measurement.
This fourth edition supersedes the third edition published in 1991. CESMM4 retains essentially the same principles as when the document was first published, and it is a great tribute to the authors of that first edition that they were able to produce a methodology that has proved so resilient to the changing practices and procedures within the construction industry. It is the intention of the Review Committee that this edition will serve its users as well as the earlier editions have done.
