The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement – CESMM – has been well established for over 40 years as the standard for the preparation of bills of quantities in civil engineering work. This revised fourth edition, CESMM4, brings the method into line with the most recent developments in the railway industry.


CESMM4 Revised can be used across a range of contract suites including NEC, FIDIC and ICC, and is largely National Standard neutral to facilitate the use of CESMM in countries with their own national standards. The original concepts of standardised approach and item coverage remains as fundamental as they did when they were first introduced – these principles remain unchanged.
