ARBE3309 – Measurement 2
ASSESSMENT 2 – PROJECT SCENARIO
Following your successful completion of the rushed Ground Works project you completed for Mr. Santos Clawes, your Managing Director, Dr Andrew Quentin Stihlwasser, has informed you that Mr. Clawes was happy with the project and wishes to engage your firm again for another project.
As with the previous job, this is urgent and Mr. Clawes needs some specific items measured for a project that is currently underway.
A building contract has been signed and they are about to break ground. The measure you have been asked to prepare will be used by the builder to price a variation. The items include some masonry, roofing and finishes trades.
Following a meeting with your MD, Mr. Clawes has approved the proposal and provided you with the email below outlining what was agreed.

Good afternoon Andrew,

Purpose I need the a detailed BOQ measured for some specific items that we are proposing to
amend in the contract via a variation. The builder will need the BOQ measured in accordance with the ANZSMM 2022 and they have requested the work be completed in either Buildsoft Cubit of ITWO Cost X so they have the opportunity to load the files into their system.
Information While the information may be somewhat limited (particularly as some of the
requested items are not shown on the current set of drawings), it will be sufficient for our current requirements. As such I have attached the following for your information and use:-
1) Architectural drawing package;
2) Civil drawing package;
3) Structural drawing package.
Please note the final specification document is not available at this time, so please make allowances/assumptions as required for the specification of any items that are not specifically noted. If there is any additional information required/you have any queries, I would request that you utilise our preferred document management system “Canvas” and include your request within the nominated ‘Request for Information’ (RFI) section.

Deadline As you are aware, time is money in construction and having a builder onsite is costly.
As such I need this work completed in a timely manner, with the builder stating they will not be able to hold off any later than Monday 19th May 2025. As such, I will require your completed BOQ by 5pm Sunday 18th May 2025 in order to review and issue to the builder on time. Any delays past this time will cause significant costs which are not acceptable.
