You’ve referenced some GIA uses, when is it applied?
How are you undertaking a measurement to GIA?
In an industrial building, what else might you be measuring for marketing material?
Eaves height, floor to ceiling
Any other sectors that you have worked in or not worked in where GIA is applicable?
Laboratories, department stores, retail warehouses.
What is the RICS guidance on why different methods are used and what measurement standard should be used for different purposes?
Why would an industrial landlord quote on the GEA rather than GIA?
Value as you analyse – if your comparables are being measured on one basis, that is how you value.
What measurement standards to adopt for office lettings?
What are the main differences between IPMS 3 and NIA?
IPMS – internal dominant face (covers more than 50%), include columns, measure to mid-point of dividing walls
Do you find IPMS useful?
It is quicker and easier to measure as you don’t have to deduct columns. Once adopted fully it will provide consistency of measuring standards in global markets.
How would you measure a curved wall?
In this instance I would take some check measurements of the building, send the CAD plans to an architect specialist to use CAD specific measurements.
You could measure the curve using the mean radius on the face stated, but in order to be more accurate I would seek professional advice.
