Question

Accepted Answer

IS 1200 outlines measurement rules for brickwork and plaster to ensure accuracy and standardization in construction.

Measurements should be taken in accordance with the dimensions specified in the drawings.
Brickwork is measured in cubic meters, considering the volume of bricks and mortar.
Plastering is measured in square meters, based on the area covered by plaster.
For brickwork, deductions for openings (like doors and windows) should be made.
For plastering, the thickness of the plaster should be specified, as it affects the total area measured.
