This document provides measurement details for the construction of a guard house, including: 1) Site clearance of the 100m2 area. 2) Foundation works including piling, excavation and construction of a pile cap and column stumps. 3) Works below lowest floor finish such as forming and pouring a ground beam and slab. Reinforcement details and quantities are given for elements like the pile cap, column stumps, ground beam and slab. Formwork requirements are also outlined. The document follows standard construction sequence and provides itemized take-off of quantities for estimating purposes.
