- Quantities: All estimated quantities stipulated in the Bills of Quantities or other Bid Documents are approximate and are to be used only;
as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and For the purpose of comparing the bids submitted for the work.
The actual amount of work done under each unit price items may differ from the estimated quantities. The basis of payment for work will be the actual quantities. The Contractor agrees that he will make no claim for damages, anticipated profits or otherwise on account of any difference between the amounts of work actually performed and the estimated amount.
6. Items in Bills of Quantities Such items are the subject of re-measurement of completion in accordance with Clause 56 of the General Conditions of Contract. Quantities given in the Bills are based upon measurement from the Contract Drawings and Specifications. 7. Measurement Metric measurements and weights have been used throughout the Bills of Quantities. Work is measured net as fixed in position and each measurement is taken to the nearest centimeter. Fractions of a centimeter less than half are disregarded and all other fractions are regarded as whole centimeters. This principle shall not apply to dimensions stated in item descriptions. Where minimum deductions of voids are dealt with they refer only to openings or voids, which are wholly within the boundaries of measured areas. Openings or voids, which are at the boundaries of measured areas, are always the subject of deduction irrespective of size. 8. Descriptions The order of stating dimensions in descriptions is generally in the sequence of Length, Width and Height. Unless otherwise stated in the Bills of Quantities or herein, all measured items are deemed to include supply and fix in place complete, thus all measured items shall include all incidentals to complete the work in a proper manner such as but not limited to the following: ( a ) Labor.
