Webinar On-Demand - CESMM4 6-Part Series

This series of webinars provides a structured and practical introduction to the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement, Fourth Edition (CESMM4). Designed for professionals involved in civil engineering projects, these courses break down the key components of CESMM4, offering detailed guidance on how civil engineering works should be described and measured in accordance with the standard.

Across six parts, the series covers everything from the basic principles and rules of measurement to the detailed classification of work items. Each session is focused on specific work classes and aims to build participants’ understanding of how to accurately interpret and apply CESMM4 in the preparation of Bills of Quantities.

Whether you're new to CESMM4 or seeking to reinforce your knowledge, this series will provide you with the essential tools and understanding to apply the method confidently and consistently across a wide range of civil engineering works.

The six sessions are as follows:
