Ian Frankton BSc(Hons) FRICS FFB explains the importance of training in NRM2.
NRM 2 is a set of RICS Guidance Notes, providing Chartered Surveyors across the globe with a set of measurement rules which have been drafted and accepted as providing recommendations for good practice. Chartered Surveyors should be aware of these updated rules of measurement for the purposes of preparing and obtaining tender prices.
The industry, across all disciplines, from consultants to contractors, to supply chain members, need to embrace the requirements of NRM2, despite the common misconception that change is complicated and time consuming. In fact, since the launch of this course the feedback received by those attending is quite the reverse. Many delegates following this introduction comment that NRM2 actually simplifies measurement and they can see real benefits using this approach to save time in the preparation of measurements, and also disputes about how works are measured and what is deemed included.
I would strongly recommend that anyone measuring tender documents or procuring sub-contract work packages attend this course, to see how NRM2 could bring benefits to your projects.
