Q
  1. What is IPMS 3B
A

an internal measurement including internal walls, etc. – equates somewhat to GIA (gross internal area)

Used for marketing and valuation purposes.

19
Q
  1. What is IPMS 3C
A

an internal measurement excluding internal walls, etc.

– equates somewhat to EFA.

20
Q
  1. How would you calibrate a laser measurer
A

Check a known distance and if it doesn’t show the correct distance then send to manufacturer. Results are to be recorded.

21
Q
  1. What is a scale ?
A

A scale allows measurements to be taken from a paper plan & converted into real time measurements of a property or site. It is the relationship between a measurement on a paper plan or map and the corresponding distance on the ground

22
Q
  1. What is an internal dominant face
A

‘The internal dominant face (IDF) is the inside finished surface comprising more than 50% of the floor to ceiling height for each IDF wall section. If such does not occur, then the finished surface is deemed to be the IDF

23
Q

How many acres are in a hectare?

A

1 hectare = 2.47105381 acres

24
Q

What is the accuracy of your digital measurer

A

Different brands have different accuracy.

The Leica disto d110 has. 1.5mm acurracy @ 60 m

25
Q

What is the accuracy of an OS Map

A

TBC

26
Q

How accurate must your measurement be ?

A

Should be between+/- 1% to +-10% may be expected depending on the type of property being measured. A greater margin of error is appropriate for a plot of land vs an office or residential.

27
Q

What must be included in a measurement report ?

A

Provide a date of the measurement

State the measurement methodology

Provide reference and scale of any plans used

Stating conversion factors used to covert imperial to metric and any rounding.

28
Q

What is the difference between ipms 1 and GEA ?

A

IPMS 1 = GEA + External balconies + roof terraces

GEA = IPMS 1 - External balconies - rooftop terraces

29
Q

What is the difference between IPMS 2 and GIA

A

GIA = IPMS 2 - limited use area 1 - internal balconies - roof terraces

IPMS 2 = GIA + limited use areas + internal balconies + roof terraces

30
Q

What is the the difference between IPMS 3 and NIA

A

nIA = IPMS 3 - limited use area - limited use area 2 - half of common walls - structural Collums - external balconies - roof terraces

IPMS 3 includes limited use areas common walls collums and external balconies

31
Q

What is limited use area

A

Limited use areas are areas where special consideration may need to be applied for valuation or other purposes, such as areas with limited height.

Quantify separately

Limited use area 1- Area difference from internal dominant face

Limited use area 2- areas with limited height. Heights below 1.5m

32

33
Q

How big is a acre ?
