Since then, amendments have been made to reflect the growth of experience and developments in construction practice, In recent years there has been an expansion of construction throughout the world, much of it in hitherto undeveloped areas. This has involved a variety of nationalities of contracting companies and Consultancies in the construction process, which in turn has created difficulties in the administration of contracts. Projects are becoming larger; reductions are sought in the pre-tender period; an increasing number of contract documents require bills of quantities but provide no framework within which they can be prepared, nor a commonly agreed basis of measurement. In consequence The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors appointed a committee to prepare principles of measurement suitable for use where existing rules are inappropriate or where no rules exist. However, to permit their proper use, the principles do require that a detailed specification and tender drawings be provided. The Institution also recognises that circumstances vary considerably from country to country, and from contract to contract, and that the principles therefore need to be flexible to accommodate variations in practice and techniques. The principles will be reviewed after a period of use and any comments should be sent to the Sectetary-General of the RICS at 12 Great George Street, Parliament Square, London SWIP 3AD. Jam grateful 19 Michae! Rainbird ARICS, who co-ordinated the preparation of the principles, andto Alan Charter FRICS, James Diebel FRICS, Derek Lawrence FRICS and Michael Pagulatos ARICS for having produced @ document which the Institution hopes will make a valuable contribution to the administration, financial control and execution of construction projects throughout the world.
