Work required to achieve the finished surface after striking formwork, eg. Rubbing down and making good, is included in G3,*,* and does not need to be billed separately under G8,2,*. A Guidance Note on “Expressly required” was published in the May 1994 issue of Civil Engineering”. Class L - Pipework L3-5,4,* - Rule M11 - Measurement of Multiple Pipes Ithas been suggested that in a multiple pipe run, the measurement could be interpreted as the length along the centre lines multiplied by the number of pipes. This is not the case and the intention is that it should be the length of the bed, haunch or surround. As noted in the Handbook? on page 137, it should be remembered that Classes I, J, K and L should always be considered as one composite class, The problem is then resolved by referring to Class K Definition Rule D1 when reading Class L Measurement Rule M11. The Committee wishes to emphasize that its role is to provide advice on problems that arise from the practical application of CESMM, but it does not exist to provide an arbitration service and such problems must be dealt with under the mechanisms provided for in individual contracts, The last set of Guidance Notes for CESMM3 was published in Civil Engineering? May 1994 and reproduced by permission in Civil Engineering Surveyor September 1994, Users and readers were requested to comment on a proposal to extend CESMM to deal with the measurement of maintenance work and/or renovation of existing structures. It would appear there is little demand for this extension to be developed. Comments and queries on CESMM should be referred in writing to: Mr. Drick Vernon, Standing CESMM Review Committee, The Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street, Westminster, LONDON SWIP 3AA.
