Metric Computation
The metric computation consists of the detailed calculation of the quantities of works. It
they can execute using marked plans and sheets, generating items that
They will be used to prepare the project budget.

When the computation is done on site, it consists of the verification of the

quantities of works actually executed, also called measurements of
works.

The object that metric computations fulfill within

a work is:

Establish the cost of a work or of one of its parts.

Determine the amount of material needed to execute a work.

Establish work volumes and partial costs for payment purposes.

work evaluations

that will be prepared and/or used.
Interpret the instructions of a plan to be able to intervene with
precision and timeliness in the field

Metric computations are problems of measuring lengths, areas, and

volumes that require the handling of geometric formulas; the terms
computation, cubing, and measurement are equivalent words. The computation

4
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

metric requires knowledge of construction procedures and a

organized and systematic work. The responsibility of the person in charge
from the calculations, it is very important, because this work can
represent losses or gains to the owners or contractors.

It is the ordered quantification of the different items that make up a

work, according to the unit of measurement established by the specifications
assumed.

In Venezuela, the most commonly used specifications are those established by

the covenin standards. Some tips for achieving metric calculations
very close to reality.

The process of metric calculations is carried out in the office stage, before
the work, On the plans

According to documentation, (there is the other measurement 'in accordance with the work').

It involves the use of geometric formulas (PERIMETER, AREA,

VOLUMES)

Arithmetic calculations, units of measurement.

Requires knowledge of construction practice.

Necessary documents

A good measurement task, then, will rely on the quantity and quality of
information provided by the documentation given to the computer specialist.
Many times in practice one only relies on the expertise of the one who
complete the task.

They are necessary documents:

5
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

1. Work plans: plant, sections, facades (definitive plans, otherwise it implies

rectify the Measurement).

2. List of premises.

3. Plans and sheets of structures.

4. Detail plans.

5. Terms of Reference: specific clauses and/or work lists.

6. Facility Plans.

In case this documentation is contradictory, the specifications of

conditions

they usually set the order of priority in which the different ones should be considered

documents of the work. If it does not appear explicitly, three principles apply
general:

1- The project documents (condition sheet, specifications, plans,

etc.).

If the information does not appear in one of them, but is in another within the whole.

Written or graphic documentation is mandatory to take this.

2- If there are differences between the measured dimensions and the verification of the same

what the operator must do, the first one is taken.

3- If there are contradictions between two or more documents, the one that has been used is selected.

budget.

Get to know the project

The first thing to do before starting to make calculations is

fully study the project, see the characteristics, get involved
within the project and scrutinize every detail, every space and what
elements that compose it. One must stay in contact with the
designer and clarify any doubt to avoid having to modify some
amounts because a detail was not taken into account.

Exclusivity
It is definitely not recommended in any way to work in the
calculations of several projects simultaneously, to avoid
confusions of criteria; each project has its own individuality and
this is how we should handle it. If you have several jobs at the same time
we must do one at a time and not start another until we finish the first

finish the previous one.

Necessary tools

Although one can work directly on the digital project, it is always

It is advisable for the computer specialist to have a printed copy of the project.

also a good amount of markers in different colors to go

tracing the plans identifying each activity with a color; also a
notebook to note every detail that could help when filling out the
computation sheets.

7
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

Computational sheet

It is very, very important to have a well-detailed computation sheet.

that contains all the necessary fields, such as: identification of the
departure; identification of the element that is being computed; the scales of
dimensions: width, length, height, area, weight or distance as applicable; a
column for repetition factor or quantity of identical elements; columns
of partial and total summarization and something also very important, a column of
observations for writing, if any notification that may be needed
to be of use to the Analyst; even when the Analyst is the same computer scientist,
this data is also useful for correctly preparing the Analysis of
Unit Prices.

Use the Covenin Standards

The Covenin Standards are already established with their respective codes.

activity and second to universalize the computations in such a way that to the
time to make a budget based on those computations can be useful
of the software that are in the national market and that use this
coding for the items. Also, if it is a work for the
State, the items must always be coded according to the Standards
Covenin. Of course, there are some items that are special and specific to
a specific project, for this case a new item is prepared that
include all the components of it; in this case, it is necessary to
specify everything in detail so that when the analysis is to be done, it does not

 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

Calculate the actual quantities of work

Many times, computer scientists when obtaining the amount of a certain

material, they add the waste percentage to the total, and this is something that
it should not be done in metric calculations, as the waste is due to
to include it in the Unit Price Analysis. The waste is used for
adjust the Unit Price and not to alter the quantities of material. In the
The computation sheet should include all the observations in the observations column.

information that the study of the item provides us so that it is useful for you
to the analyst, for example: in a game we have to place a pipe.
8" sanitary pipe that measures 15 m, this pipe has a high market value and
It comes in a 6 m format, so for the work, three pipes will need to be bought.
they will give us 18 m so we will have 3 m left over, the computer specialist does not

You can set the quantity as 18 meters to buy, if not, 15 meters.

What are they really, then we must specify in the column
observations that in this batch there will be 3 m of material left over and when making the

analysis add a 20% waste to yield the real value of

material needed for this game.

Follow a logical order

It is always advisable to follow the logical order of activities, this is for ...
not waste time calculating several times. For example: to calculate
the amounts of frieze will need to first calculate the number of walls, and
to calculate the amounts of paint on walls, you first need to calculate
the number of friezes; this not only accelerates the work but also helps avoid
overlook any measurement. It is recommended to compute all possible
activities of the same chapter at the same time, for example: if we are in

9
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

electrical installations, cover everything that pertains to this chapter and not
start with another before finishing it.

Do not put additional information

Besides being a waste of time, it can lead us to confusion;

sometimes we want to do a job that is too detailed and what we achieve is
work double. For example, when doing the calculations for block wall, not
we have to mention how many blocks are required for the work, that is
analyst's work; the computer operator only needs to state the amount of m2 of each
type of wall and that is also very important because it is necessary to differentiate if

the wall is made of 10, 12 or 15 cm block. And if it is made of clay block or of

cement or if it is in clean work or for plastering, etc., in each case it varies

elements such as material quantity, waste, yields, etc., by

As a consequence, each case will have a different unit price. Neither
we can start calculating for example how many 2" boxes
4" are needed, this material is included in the analysis of the point of
power outlets, switches, etc. What should be included in the form is
the number of points corresponding to each type and specify the material
for example, the item says: I.E. CONSTRUCTION OF POINT OF
ELECTRICITY FOR WALL OUTLET WITH PIPE
PVC. But in the observations column we need to indicate that it
will use for example Cable TW12AWG and will be at a height of 75 cm from
floor (these specifications must be included in the descriptive memories or in
the plans).

Avoid mental laziness or taking the easy way out

Sometimes in wanting to rush the work we can fall into the following:
if we have the number of walls, we multiply it by two, and we have the
amount of frieze and we subtract the amount of ceramics and it gives us the amount of

10
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

"painting"; this is a false procedure since in the same work there are
different amounts of frieze, there is exterior frieze, interior frieze, base frieze; it can

be smooth or standard trim, regardless of whether it is exterior or interior; and

Everyone has a different treatment and of course a different price; the same.
It happens with types of paint, so it cannot be generalized in this way.
because we will be doing the wrong job.

Properly interpret the content of the entry.

The computation must be done according to what the entry says. A very
especially when it comes to block wall layouts, which generally
they say at the end 'does not include lintels or columns', so these elements
they occupy an area within the wall, they must be deducted from this item and
include them in another specific item for them; this is an activity that is very
little is taken into account due to the fact that these elements are within the
wall and they are not seen in the finished work, but it turns out that making a lintel or a

the wall cannot be counted as m2, but rather

in m3 of concrete and both also include a reinforcement steel and involve
encased, which makes it very different from the block wall game and
therefore it has a different price. You have to be very aware of what
covers the content of the game, if there is anything additional in the activity that does not

it is described in the entry, we have to add it to the description and

therefore it will be necessary to change the code so that it is treated in a way
different by the analyst.

After completing all the metric calculations, the result will be

shown in the computation sheet, this sheet must be filled out from the
as thoroughly as possible, identifying each measurement specifically and
mention to which space or element it belongs, this is very convenient

11
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

because when a modification is made to the project, we can find

easily in the form the modified part and make the adjustment to have it
place. For example, if a window was removed in a space, that will affect the
cómputos de: marcos para ventanas (-), ventanas (-), paredes de bloques
(+), lintels (-), interior frieze (+), exterior frieze (+), exterior paint (+), paint
interior (+), window frame painting (-); so it is simply sought
the said space in each activity and is removed or added as applicable; of
this way we will save a lot of time and work at the moment of
any modification that we know from experience always exists.

This form will be delivered to the Analyst along with any information.
additional information that may be useful for conducting Unit Price Analyses and
the corresponding budget and the idea of the well-detailed calculations is
that the analyst does not need to resort to the plans or have to contact the
computer specialist or in the worst case to the designer to conduct an analysis.

To conclude, we must emphasize that the work of a computer scientist can vary
unnoticed within the project environment but it remains important
and it is vital to determine the cost of a work.

The measuring work can be done in 2 ways:

About the work or about the plans, since the work must be theoretically
similar to the plans, it could be thought that the criteria applied to the
first form, they are valid for the other, but however it is not so and
It happens that the risk of the accuracy required for measurement according to
the work disappears in the project studio, where the criterion of

12
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

calculator who must compensate for the lack of their knowledge and experience
information, which is characteristic in allprojects.
Although each work presents particularities that distinguish it from the others
and requires a special study in each case, some principles can be given
general principles that must be respected and that will serve as a guide for the

execution of the work.

The order for preparing the metric calculations is essential, because it us

numbering the pages on which the amounts are written

including the relevant observations. All of this will provide us with the guideline

to carry out a quicker check and be able to find the errors of being
the case.

When analyzing the reasons why some works are not completed
according to the provisions of assigned resources and the execution timelines
contractual, we must consider one in particular that has been
underestimated, and perhaps it is part of the great causes of these evils

14
 Metric calculations in civil works 2013

administrative, such as the accuracy of the Metric Computations and

Specifications, basis for the contracting of works.

In general, the excessive

urgency, the qualification of the selected computer scientist, the complexity of the
work, the degree of precision achieved in the project (Base information), the
deficiencies or non-existence of the project (gestation problems), bad
selection of contractors or inadequate contractual processes
(technical or financial deficiency), delay in execution, with the consequent
increase in costs that generate budget insufficiency
(inflation), legal entanglements, obstacles and excessive bureaucracy, culminating in the

deficient estimation of work quantities being contracted.

Of course, there is also another important reason, such as the good or

poor cost estimation, based on the quantities of work (Computations)
to determine the financial resources to be hired, that is, the preparation
of the Unit Price Analysis of the Items (APU), which, according to
adjustment to reality will also mark the success or failure in reaching the goal
on time. Due to the importance of this topic, it is addressed
separately in another publication ("Control of Works, Budgets and
APU.

Within this range of causes, one of the most influential in the delay or
the halt of the works is associated with the inadequate estimation of the
initial calculations, involving the hiring of a work, that before its
start, it begins with a significant margin of error in the estimation of the
resources for its completion and eventually, with lack of allocations or
items that do not correspond with the project, which leads to the
excessive generation of increases, decreases, and additional works, which
they are usually compensated by the decrease in metaphysics in order to
conclude the contract, but not the work as such. This reason has not been well

This reason has been the common ground for countless delays. It is not always the case.

It is usually perceived that the calculations do not form part of the project, that is,
the plans are indeed associated with the project, but not the calculations. Likewise it is

an activity that requires time and must be included within the timeframe of
project, since it does not end with the drawing and approval of the plans,
but it is there where one of the most important phases for the
contractor or owner, as it is to know the activities and methodologies

where the value of COVENIN Standards and the mastery of the
the same ones in order to present activities adhering to the best controls

Even a good estimate in the calculations can yield deviations.

deviations greater than 30%, a range of processing is required,

These cases require more study due to the factors involved in the
estimation of the masses to be mobilized (Density, fluffing,

it will always be an estimate. It is not the same case as the works of

important steps and being attentive to everything related to the

17
 Metric calculations in Civil Works 2013

execution of the work, trying not to overlook any detail of it

so that we do not have a computation far from reality and in the end the work
it turns out to be much more expensive than we had thought.
First, the profile of the computer scientist must be as follows: a professional of the
Architecture, Civil Engineering or a Technical Degree in Civil Construction; that has
experience in construction, and this is the most important since a project
you can present in plans all the construction details of the work and
they can be very well done, but there are always some in the work
situations that vary in some way the details that do not appear in the
project, which means the computer scientist must have knowledge of the activity
to not overlook some things.
A simple example is the following: when determining the number of laundries in
a building, we can say that there are 40 apartments so we place 40
granite basins and that's it, but it turns out that this basin is supported on a
block wall that is also plastered on both sides and along the edge of
front. Let's assume that this wall is 60 cm long by 70 cm
height, which gives an area of 0.42 m2 of block wall, plus the frieze for
both sides are 0.84 m2, but the trim at the edge of the wall would give us 0.07 m2
for a total of 0.91 m2 of frieze, if we add the paint, plus 1.30
The baseboard molding is generating a cost that we had previously disregarded.
and if we multiply that amount we received by the 40 apartments, in the end
will give a good amount of money that we have overlooked and that can
influence the total cost of the project. If the estimator has never been on site
It will not take that detail into account and it might start to fail in the calculation.

Conclusion

Currently, thanks to the service provided by computing, work is done

with electronic forms or programs that compute the different parts of
a construction. These forms or programs must be loaded or completed
the computer technician. It should be clear that if we make a mistake loading data, the

the results we obtain will also be incorrect, and we cannot blame it

blame the system
