This is the first revision of SLS 573 : 19fi2. This revised !;tandard was prepared by a Technical Committee appointed by the Institute for Construction Training and Development in a~r.odation with the ·sri Lanka Standards Institution and was authorized for adoption and publication as a Sri La."lka Standard by i_ne ,"::ouncil of the Sri Lanka Standards Institution on 1999-04-08. The constitution of the Technical Committee and tht> re!t~''1nt Working Committees, Advisory Committees are given in the foreword to the standard. Measurement occupies a very important place in the plZ:l!'.,ng ':'.Ud execution of any building work from the time of firf>t ez.timate to final completion of the project and settlement of payments. '~Le methods followed for such measurements are not uniform, and considerable differences exist between the oractic:es follow·~d ()y different construction agencies and state sector organizations. While it is recognized that each system of measurement h 1s to be specifically related to ·the administrative and financial organizations within the institution responsible for the work. ?n unification of various systems at the technical level has been accepted as desirable. This standard attempts to fulfill this nr!-:-.::d. It deals with the method of measurement of buildin·?; works and applies equally to the preparation of estimates and bills of quantities and to site measurements. It provides guide lines in carrying out this work using metric units only. 3 -- .
