How is IPMS 1 measured?
Area of a building including external walls on a floor by floor basis
What does IPMS 1 include?
Covered Galleries
Balconies
General Accessible roof terraces
What does IPMS 1 Exclude?
Upper Void Levels of An Atrium
Open External stairwells
Patios,
Refuse areas
external parking at ground level
How does IPMS 1 and GEA differ?
Rooftops and Balconies are included by stated separately under IPMS1, but excluded for GEA
According to RICS
The main difference is the inclusion of external floor areas such as balconies, colonnades and rooftop terraces, as well as sheltered areas such as those formed by canopies on industrial units. Each of these areas can easily be identified and stated separately, and therefore subtracted from the IPMS 1 to obtain the GEA.
How is IPMS 2 measured?
Area available for direct use, measured to the IDF of the wall on a floor by floor basis
What does IPMS 2 include?
Covered Galleries
Balconies
Generally accessible roof terraces
What does IPMS 2 exclude?
Open Light Wells
Upper void levels of an atrium
Patio and Decks at Ground Floor Level
External Parking
Equipment Yards
Cooling Equipment
Refuse Areas
How does IPMS 2 and GIA differ?
IPMS 2 is measured to the IDF and GIA measures to the internal face
According to RICS
Although similar to gross internal area (GIA), IPMS 2 differs in ways that can have a larger impact, depending on the building type. The main difference is that IPMS 2 is measured to the internal extents of the internal dominant face (IDF) rather than to the internal face of the perimeter walls.
Measuring to the IDF has caused some consternation among RICS members because it deviates greatly from current measurement guidance, but users need to remember that IPMS: All Buildings is designed to provide consistency around the world. IDF, in some form, is used already by a large proportion of property professionals worldwide.
How is IPMS 3 measured?
Measured to IDF on floor by floor basis for exclusive use
What does IPMS 3 includes but stated separately
Governed galleries
Balconies
Generally accessible roof terraces
What does IPMS 3 include (that differs from NIA)
All internal walls
Columns
Done to IDF so where common wall with adjacent tenant, to the centre line of the common wall
What does IPMS 3 exclude?
Standard facilities
How do IPMS 3 and NIA differ?
In short NIA + additional areas to be measured = IPMS
