Jurassic fashion

Like Steve Barker, I have long bemoaned the downgrading of measurement and also, dare I mention it, bills of quantities production. As Barker says, at some stage in the process something has to be measured.

How can cost estimates of any form be produced without the trusty scale rule being flexed? Bills might not be in fashion but someone will be applying unit rates to measured quantities somewhere along the line and what better way to understand how a cost is arrived at than to be schooled in measurement and valuation.

I thought I was a member of a dying breed. Perhaps I am, as I am in the same age group as Barker, but could the tide be turning in favour of us old timers?

It was refreshing to read the views of another dinosaur
