Popis: This paper was prepared to investigate the desired characteristics of a typical Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement (SMM) accepted by the industry. Extensive literature search was conducted. Funnel approach was used to establish the desirable characteristics of SMM. The characteristics were validated by ten selected expert panels. In order to confirm and rationalized the findings, opinion surveys were conducted among the selected practicing Quantity Surveyors (QS). The outcome of this paper is expected to be used as a supporting data to be carried along to the next level of the main research, which aims to develop a more acceptable and practical SMM for construction works in Malaysia.
