Why this case deserves follow-up

Examined and set aside on this project:

  • quantities identical to plan (artefact): the 'identical' quantities came from a running bill's up-to-date column; the comparative statement records different final executed quantities (1,205.16 tendered → 1,771.56 executed; 135.36 tendered → 433.21 executed), leaving fewer than three identical items.

Possible legitimate explanations

  • Quantities fixed by drawings (e.g. counted items, standard sections) are executed exactly as designed.
  • The item was measured once and the measurement equalled the estimate.
  • The estimate itself was prepared from detailed measurements of the site.

What would resolve it

  • MB pages with the actual dimensions for these items
  • Site measurement of the items

Questions an investigator could ask

  1. Which MB pages record the measurements of the 1 items on job 151-23-000003 whose executed quantity equals the tendered quantity exactly?
  2. Who recorded and who check-measured these items, and on what dates?
  3. Were these items measured on site or carried over from the estimate?

Specific records to request (RTI)

  1. Measurement-book pages for the items listed — job 151-23-000003; 216 cum @ ₹2,767.00; 1,205.16 cum @ ₹12,700.00; 135.36 @ ₹7,550.00. Why: Shows whether the quantities were measured on site or copied from the estimate.
