[actual or real ]
Explanation:
actual versus estimated....it means to take out a measuring tape and actually measure the thing..it means that literally...so I assume they mean actual measurements ...but in English, I am not sure one would translate it...you would leave it out and only put in estimated measurements....but then I could be wroing

Explanation:
" Medición parcial o a origen:
Se suele medir cada partida desde el origen y deducir la cantidad realizada en el mes, el mes anterior. Este método de medir se llama a cinta corrida o a origen."

Every month total construction is measured; this month's is computed by difference.

It\'s not a budgeting / estimating method, it\'s an invoicing method.
