# M3: Metric Construction Video, 2nd edition

General Services Administration Video VH-249 M3: Metric Construction Video, 2nd edition GSA policies and recommendations on use of metric in construction are presented in this video, along with some quick conversion calculations and lists of new construction and product specifications. Beginning with general information about U.S. metric conversion and the benefits of metric, the video then lists many federal building projects designed in metric. Administrative questions, such as design and construction firm capabilities, agency conversion, and dual dimensioning are briefly addressed. Compromise administrative principles for application of hard and soft metric in project and product dimensions are covered, as well as revised national codes. A long list of standard product sizes and specifications for drywall, concrete, rebar and other common construction items is given.
