- Abstract:
A price-rationalized approach, based on the tendency of contractors to make tender pricing errors, is used to explore the validity of the present rules relating to the measurement of separate items of concrete work for bills of quantities in Australia. The research findings suggest that simplified measurement of concrete work, by item aggregation, can be justified on unit price grounds.
