How accurate should measurements be?

Depends on the purpose of the measurement and the property. I measure to a millimetre when carrying out internal measurements, and to two decimal places of an acre for land (large)

Q

What are the key differences in how you measure IPMS 3 offices and NIA?

A

The IPMS methodology includes areas that would be excluded from other measurement standards (namely NIA measurements), such as columns, the occupant’s share of a party wall, areas with under 1.5m of height and external areas. While the inclusion of these spaces is dependent on the IPMS grouping (1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1 or 4.2) employed, the general outcome is a higher floor area for a given space versus an NIA measurement

Q

Why didn’t you use a trundle wheel the first time when inspecting?

A

The initial inspection was to understand whether the space would even be available, and the contractor could only provide a rough estimate of the area
