contemplated in the scope of the corresponding items. These
concepts will be taken into account in the analysis of unit prices in
the cases in which they apply.

3.-Scope of the items in a civil project.

For the purposes of measurement on site, the items must be

completely executed, understood as those that comply with
the corresponding scope described in this Standard and comply
with the required tests and guarantees. The particular cases do not
contemplated in this Regulation, such as the account settlements for
suspension of works or termination of contracts shall be carried out in common
agreement between the parties, prior written authorization from the Organization
contracting party, as stipulated in the "General Conditions of
Hiring.

For the purposes of this regulation, the following is understood:

In general, in all items, it is included in the unit price.
internal mobilization of materials coming from preparation
of the site and/or materials to be used in the construction until the
final collection place within the same work. In general, in the
urban planning works, the transportation is included in the unit price

materials from the site preparation or the materials
to be used in construction, with its equipment incidence and
respective labor.

The reinforcement armor batches are considered executed once a

technical reasons, according to the project or by authorization of the professional
responsible for the contracting party, rebar starts are left in
any structural member, in which case it is considered that the
the scope of said items has been covered, as long as it is given
a layer of anti-corrosive paint as protection for those rebars.

The bases for cranes and batching plants are considered included in
the cost price of the equipment. The formwork items are considered
executed once deformed. When in a member or element

sewers and drainage the flexible or universal connections are considered

As a general criterion, the leveling and the necessary re-layout are
included in the scope of the items that require it. Likewise
it is considered that the Contractor will deliver their finished work, free of
rubble and completely clean. The bin for your waste is
included within the scope of the corresponding item.

In general, any labor or material involved in the execution of a

Item and whose measurement is not specifically considered, are included
in the analysis of unit prices. The construction of advertising billboards
it will not be recognized as a separate Item since it corresponds to the
overhead expenses of the contracting company, as provided for
in the 'General Terms and Conditions of Contract'.

The specific cases not covered by this Standard will be carried out according to
common agreement between the parties.

4.- What is a match?

Each of the activities or tasks is referred to as an item.

according to the activities of the construction process of the work, these are
divided into parts of different orders, considering that when
varies the order, greater description of the work and/or precision of the
the designation of the item will be taken into account. This aspect is related to
directly and approximate the construction sequence of a work,
stipulated in a certain order considering the measurement regulations
according to the type of work.

5.- What is a metric computation?

The metric calculation is the calculation of all the materials that

they will intervene in the work, as well as the calculation of the time of the
labor.

Knowing the materials and labor that we need, it is possible to

conduct a price analysis (Comparison and selection among different
suppliers, qualities, and prices of each item.

Once all those factors (materials, labor and

suppliers that will be involved in the work) a can be drawn up
budget for work simply by adding the costs to each factor.

The computation and budget of a project mainly serve to

plan the timelines of the work and to schedule the investment and the
provision of materials and labor.

construction.

7.- Organization of the COVENIN standard 2000-92.

This Standard refers to Part IIA2, and consists of the norms of

measurements, the coding schemes of items, and the list of the
Entries organized into Titles, Chapters, and Subchapters. The Entries are
they are identified by a code composed of the letter "E" and nine
digits, of which the first identifies the Chapter, the second, or the
the second and the third identify the Subchapter and the remaining positions
represent different parameters such as member type or
element, its finish, method of execution, material, dimensions,
form, activity, etc.

important for your work area. Certainly, it is important that a
civil engineer knows about this topic, given that when carrying out projects of
civil works is totally necessary, the problem is that a
civil engineer has everything necessary to perform metric calculations,
without the need to take any course, but does not know how to use everything
what he learned during his studies to achieve that goal.

When it comes solely to determining whether the cost of a work

as a base measurable units in round numbers and prices
unit costs that are not very detailed. On the contrary, this budget
approximately is not enough when the study is done as a basis for
finance the work, or when the builder studies it while preparing his
proposition, then we need to detail a lot in the units of
measure and unit prices, taking into account for the latter not
not only the price of materials and labor, but also the
special circumstances under which the work must be carried out. This compels
to penetrate all the details and to form unit prices starting from
its components.
 Conclusion
To perform metric calculations, we must know how to identify our
matches and knowing how to measure, which we will achieve in the standard
COVENIN. Then we must organize the information simply and
sequential.

In this way, it can be said that we can perform the computations.
