SMM7 (Standard Method of Measurement)

SMM7, or the Standard Method of Measurement 7th Edition, is a guideline used in the UK construction industry to ensure consistent and accurate measurement of building works. It provides a standardized approach to quantify construction costs, helping architects, builders, and clients understand project specifications and budgets. By using SMM7, all parties have a clear framework for measuring quantities, which aids in transparent pricing and effective communication throughout a project. This method ultimately seeks to minimize misunderstandings and disputes over measurements and costs in construction contracts.
