Q

What are limited use areas and how do you report these?

A

An example of limited use areas is an area below
1.5m in height.
The reason IPMS brought about this term is because in certain markets there may be areas of a building that are incapable of legal or effective occupation, one market may classify an area as limited use where another may not. In any case, these are to be measured
and included but stated separately.
Previously excluded in Code of Measuring Practice.

Q

Lots of comparables are measured to NIA how do you allow for the difference with IPMS?

A

I check with the agent whether the property was measured on an IPMS3 or NIA basis and
then I always compare on a like for like basis.

Because IPMS has not been fully introduced into the region I am still measuring on both basis’s IPMS and NIA and dual reporting.

Send it off for a yearly check to Bosch

24
Q

What are the different types of instruments and the pros and cons of each?

A

Trundle Wheel – used for measuring land (not sand!)
Every circle = 1 metre
Advantages: do not require two people, can be a fast and practical
Disadvantages: design can prohibit from moving in a straight line if not used at the right angle
which adds more distance, it has a short handle so it is difficult for tall people

Laser distance meter - (Bosch)
Advantages: Fast and effective, don’t have to walk there and back, can be used on your own
Disadvantages: cannot be used in sunlight, can only measure so far
Tape measurer – can be used for small distances such as the door or window width in an
office
Advantages: easily manoeuvrable can measure corners or curves, no power/batteries needed
Disadvantages: cannot measure large distances, sagging can cause inaccuracy and need
two people

25
Q

What is the professional statement relating to measurement?

A

RICS Property Measurement 2nd addition 2018 - which incorporates the international standards.

A

1:100

32
Q

what is the scale used for a street plan?

A

1:1250

33
Q

What do you do if you are only provided with NIA?
You would convert it to GIA (NIA is normally 80% of GIA)
- How do you get from GEA to GIA?
GIA is normally 95% of GEA
- How did you work out your contingency?

A

NIA is 80% of GIA

GIA is 95% of GEA

So if you had the NIA you could add 20%

If you had the GIA you could 5% to get GEA
