8. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
8.1 BASIC PRINCIPLES
8.1.1 Work i n v o l v i n g s t e e l members w i l l be measured by mass o f s t e e l . Sundry items w i l l
b e measured by number, mass o r area, depending on t h e nature o f t h e i t e m
(see 8.1.2).
8.1.2 Where t h e r e i s considerable r e p e t i t i o n o f a r t i c l e s o f t h e same d e s c r i p t i o n and mass
(e.g. s t a i r s , foundation b o l t s , small frames, loose c l e a t s , e t c . ) t h a t a r e measured
by mass, t h e number o f such a r t i c l e s and t h e mass o r length, as applicable, o f each
