0.3 Among various civil engineering items, measurement of buildingswas the first to be taken up for standardization and this standa, d havingprovisions relating to building work was first published in 1958 anti wasrevised in 1964.

0.4 In the course of usage of this standard by various construction agen­cies ill the country, several clarifications and suggestions for modificationswere received and as a result of study, the technical committee responsiblefor this standard decided that its scope besides being applicable to build­ings should be expanded to cover method of measureme-nt for civil t'ngl­rieering works, like industrial and river valley projects works.

0.5 Since different trades are not related to one another, the SectionalCommittee decided that each trade as given in IS: 1200-1964* shall be
