The Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works (SMM2) published in 2001 constitutes key aspects in the preparation of tender documents for building project in Malaysian construction industry. However, the structure of existing SMM2 is obsolete due to changes in the formats and professional QS practices at the international level. The earlier SMM1 and SMM2 editions of SMMs are developed in prose, and the development of tabular format in SMM3 is an improvement in the prose format.

SMM3 is preceded to cater significant requirements on the updates of methods and modes of measurement in relation to 2D and 3D BIM models and latest construction methods and materials in construction industry. SMM3 is a BIM-friendly standard method of measurement that reflects as a true tradition and flexible for modern reference. It provides among other – provisions for preparation of specifications and preambles, and standard library of item descriptions with coding system. The Taskforce for SMM3 was set up under the Quantity Surveying Division of the Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM) The effort in producing SMM3 is part of a cumulative efforts of all sub-committee in RISM QS Division since 2017.

Main objectives of Fundamentals of SMM3 course are:
• To understand the principles and methods of measurement based on The Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works Third Edition (SMM3)
