Tutorial 1 &2

The document compares Malaysia's MYCESMM and MYCESMM 2 standards for civil engineering measurement. MYCESMM has 8 sections while MYCESMM 2 has 7 sections. The key differences are that MYCESMM 2 places more emphasis on bills of quantities and has more detailed work classifications from A to W. Building work classified as Class M in MYCESMM 2 is separated into different parts in SMM2, for example waterproofing. However, the measurement rules for waterproofing are the same in both standards.

TUTORIAL 1 & 2

You are required to make comparison between Civil Engineering MYCESMM and
MYCESMM 2. Matters to be highlighted including the criteria, general rules and the
essential features based on Section 1- Section 8 of the Malaysia Civil Engineering Standard
Method of Measurement.

In MYCESMM, there are 8 section which section 1 is definition, section 2 is general principle,
section 3 application of the work classification, section 4 is coding and numbering of item,
section 5 is preparation of bills of quantities, section 6 is about completion, pricing and use of
BQ, section 7 is method for related charges and section 8 is for work classification which is from
class A to class T.

In MYCESMM2, there are 7 sections which section 1 is scope and general, section 2 is
application and work classification, section 3 is coding and numbering of items, section 4 is
preparation of BQ, section 5 is completion, pricing and the use of the BQ, section 6 is method for
related charges and section 7 is work classification from class A to class W.

In conclusion, the differences of MYCESMM and MYCESMM2, if seems that the second
edition more to emphasize on BQ and also more detail for work classification.

Prepare the comparison and contrast between MYCESMM 2’s Building Work (Class M)
and those items which are used in SMM2. You are required to comment and give your
views on the measurement rules, the coverage and definition as well as any related
information which may affect the measurement works.

Class M in MYCESMM 2 involves roofing work, waterproofing, sheet lining membrane,


window and doors, glazing, finishes and floor and wall system. However, these building works
under SMM2 are separated into different parts. For example, waterproofing is under section K in
SMM2. In both standard methods, the measurement rules for waterproofing are same which is no
deduction shall be made for voids that not exceeding 0.5m². In degree of definition rules, they
are slightly different in indication angle.
Distinguish the following trade of works as follows:

SMM2 Drainage works vs MYCESMM Drainage & pipework

SMM2 MYCESMM
 Under section v  Under class O and class P
 Includes excavation, disposal of water,  More details than SMM2 with the present
beds, bencing and covering, connecting to of below ground crossing, backfilling,
mains and last testing drain. bedding, support, and protection and so
on.
SMM2 Demolition works vs MYCESMM 2 Demolition and site Clearance

SMM2 MYCESMM
 Under section c  Under class E
 Includes demolition for building  Includes general clearance of trees,
structures and shoring only. demolition of building structures and
pipelines and also relocation for existing
utilities.
