New International Measurement Standards
24 August at 18:25 from atlas
The New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NZIQS) has joined a new global movement established to create international standards in construction measurement.
The International Construction Measurement Standards (ICMS) Coalition was formed earlier this year by non-profit organisations representing construction industry professionals in over 140 countries.
Collectively, the ICMS aims to create over-arching international standards that will harmonise cost, classification and measurement definitions in order to enhance comparability, consistency, statistics, and benchmarking of capital projects.
The formation of the ICMS marks the first time the global construction, project management, cost engineering and quantity surveying sectors have come together.
