EMBook

e-M Book is the electronic Measurement Book for staff of the Roads & Buildings Department, Government of Telangana. It carries the measurement book to the site: the junior engineer records what was measured where it was measured, the verifier check-measures it, and the approver signs it off — each step recorded against the work, the sanctioned estimate and the person who did it.

Sign-in is by Employee ID. A one-time password goes to the mobile number registered against that ID, and after that a 4-digit MPIN opens the app and authorises what you send. The app is for departmental staff only; there is nothing in it for anyone without a mapped Employee ID.

WORKS WHERE THE WORK IS

Culverts and roads are not where the signal is. Everything you see is read from your own phone, so the app opens and works with no network at all. A measurement book is written, saved and submitted offline, and waits on the device until you are somewhere you can send it. Sync sends what is waiting and brings down your latest works, books and lists — you choose when.

FOR THE FIELD ENGINEER

• Pick the work, the component and the item from the sanctioned estimate
• Capture the site photograph; your location is stamped with it, as proof of presence
• Measure by length, breadth, depth and number, or enter the quantity directly
• Rates come from the agreement, and every amount is worked out for you
• A running balance against the sanctioned quantity, so a book cannot overrun it
• Attach drawings, sketches and supporting documents
• Save a part-finished book and come back to it, or change one already saved before it is uploaded
• Read the whole book back before it goes, item by item
• Submit to the verifier of your choice

FOR THE VERIFIER AND THE APPROVER

• Your queue of books, with what each one is worth and how far it has been checked
• The book as the maker recorded it, with their site photograph and location
• Your own photograph and location, stamped against your Employee ID
• Check-measure item by item, with the difference from the recorded figure shown as you type
• Forward for approval, approve, or return to the maker with your remarks

A RETURNED BOOK IS THE SAME BOOK

When a book comes back for correction, the remarks come with it. The correction opens the whole book again — photograph, cover, items and figures — and what you send replaces the book it corrects. One measurement, one book, from start to approval.

BUILT FOR THE DEPARTMENT

• Every figure to two decimal places, and every time in IST
• Records are held on the device and sent when you say so — nothing leaves in the background
• The app locks itself after five minutes idle, and asks for the MPIN again
• Your session is tied to the handset you registered

e-M Book is used by mapped employees of the Roads & Buildings Department. If your Employee ID is not mapped to a work, please contact your division office.
