Mesurage: la piece pour l'ensemble decrit
When talking about work to be done on columuns in an old building, does this mean, measurements of one column to represent all, or measurements of the room where all the columns are situated. How should it be phrased? Thanks

PER part (i.e. column?) for the works referred to
Your context is a little vague, so I can't give higher confidence. Does this concern some kind of renovation/rehabilitation work to be carried out on the columns?
Especially if this is the case, I think "pièce" refers to each column. Depending on what they are doing however, it might refer to some component thereof ....
"Ensemble" has to refer to the set of columns. "Assembly" as proposed elsewhere suggests - to my mind - a set of pieces bolted or welded etc. together, which is not the case here, each column being - presumably - independent, for all intense and porpoises.
My proposal of "works" assumes that this word could not reasonably be taken to refer to any "renovation works" being carried out. "Structural works" might solve that problem.

Comment: "Yes, I very much agree with you. I think now that if "piece" referred to the room, it would say "ou se situe" and not "pour". It is renovation work on the columns, but the context is only as I have put (i.e. extract from a larger document). Thank you so much for clarifying."

room where the set of columns described is located
Hello,
I think that they mean measuring the room in which all the columns described are located.
I hope this helps.
