ABSTRACT

In the previous edition of the Standard Method of Measurement (SMM7), windows, doors, timber staircases and glazing all shared a common work section. NRM2 adopts an approach that sees each of the above allocated an individual work section as follows: NRM2 Work Section 23 includes windows, screens and lights; Work Section 24 covers doors, shutters and hatches; and Work Section 25 is intended for timber stairs, walkways and balustrades. Glazing work that is not supplied as part of a window or door unit is measured under a be - spoke Glazing work section (NRM2 Work Section 27). Associated architraves, window boards and sealant joints are included as part of General Joinery (NRM2 Work Section 22). Typically these associated General Joinery items would not form part of any standard joinery component

shelves, worktops and isolated handrails. They all share a common set of measurement rules and unit of measurement (linear metres).
