The AssociaƟon of South African QuanƟty Surveyors (ASAQS) agreed to fund this working group and to allow their Standard System of Measuring Building Work 1991 to be used as a base document  \nThe Standard Method of Measurement for Africa commiƩee of the Africa AssociaƟon of QuanƟty Surveyors (AAQS), namely Messrs D N Kimoro (Kenya), M K Frimpong (Ghana), G Ndung’u (Zambia) and N Mooroogan (MauriƟus) were given the opportunity to provide input, firstly on the tabulated format and thereaŌer on the proposed new standard method  \nConcurrently the ASAQS agreed to make available its Model Bills of QuanƟƟes (abbreviated descripƟons) as the base document for an updated version for use in conjuncƟon with the Standard Method of Measuring Building Work for Africa. A working group comprising of Prof H M Siglé, Mr R de Villiers and Prof C H Klopper, funded by the AAQS, was appointed to undertake the task of updaƟng the model bills  \nThe AAQS Services and Model DocumentaƟon board sees the publicaƟon of the abovemenƟoned two documents as a major step in standardising procurement documentaƟon in Africa and improving the quality of such documentaƟon  \nCopyright © Africa AssociaƟon of QuanƟty Surveyors  \nDISCLAIMER: While the Africa AssociaƟon of QuanƟty Surveyors (AAQS) aims to ensure that its publicaƟons represent best pracƟce, the Africa AssociaƟon of QuanƟty Surveyors (AAQS) does not accept or assume any liability or responsibility for any events or consequences which derive from the use of the Standard System of Measuring Building Work for Africa 2015.
