Opening Pandora's box - the Method of Measurement for Highway Works (MMHW): Part 4 - mechanics - 2004 - Civil Engineering Surveyor June 2004, 31-33(3) .

Considers the MMHW and the mechanics of its method. Advises that ignoring its procedures is unwise. Outlines the role of a bill of quantities in a contract document and details how the MMHW supports the measurement and preparation of a bill of quantities for highway works. Compares it with other similar types of contract by the use of tables and diagrams. Concludes that bills of quantities are often prepared in haste without due care for accuracy. (See also Abs67769, Abs67770).
