C Method of Measurement

Carried to Collection

The site of the Works is Bank of Jamaica, Nethersole Place,

Kingston CSO.

The Works consists of the removal of old waterproofing

membrane to the concourse level, canopy level and the tower

roof; repairs to the concrete surface (where necessary) and the

to re-schedule his work to accommodate the moving of such

equipment, pipes, etc.

The Contract Sum shall be understood to be the total price for

all the works described in the Conditions of Contract,

Preliminaries and Bill of Quantities. Where no price is inserted

beside an item, the cost of that item shall be deemed to be

included in the price of other items in these documents

The Contract quantities have been measured in accordance with

the Jamaican Standard Method of Measurement of Building

Works (Third Edition) published by the Jamaican Institute of

Quantity Surveyors
