Q

What is IPMS 1?

A

Similar to GEA.
Used for commercial and residential.
Measuring the area of a building including external walls. Measurements included but stated separately are for example balconies.
Exclude: Atrium and open external stairwells.
Patios and refuse areas.

19
Q

What is IPMS 2 Residential (Internal)?

A

Similar to GIA.
Measuring the interior area of the building.
Measured to the internal dominant face of the wall.
Alike IPMS 1, measurement included but stated separately are for example covered galleries and balconies.

20
Q

What is IPMS 3 Residential (Occupier)?

A

Measuring the occupation of floor areas (precise). Measured also to the internal dominant face. Same assumptions as IMPS 2.

21
Q

What is IPMS 3A?

A

Similar to IPMS 1, but for more precise buildings
Measure to the outer face of the external wall and to the centre line of shared walls
(Think of a flat and that has neighbours on both sides i.e. doesn’t own all her walls as shares them with the neighbours).

22
Q

What is IPMS 3B?

A

Similar to IPMS 2 and GIA.
Measurement of the area in exclusive occupation, including
the floor area occupied by internal walls and columns,
measured to:
* the internal dominant face and
* the finished surface of shared walls

23
Q

What is included and excluded in IPMS 3B?

A

Measurements included but stated separately and
individually:
- Attics, basements/cellars
- Balconies and verandas in exclusive use
- Garages
- Limited use areas.
Measurements excluded but which may be stated
separately and individually:
- Patios
- Unenclosed parking areas, which may be measured
or defined by number of spaces
- Staircase openings

24
Q

What is IPMS 3C?

A

Similar to IPMS 3B.
Measurement of the area of exclusive occupation
Measured EXCLUDING the internal walls and columns
Measured to the Internal Dominant Face and finished surface

25
Q

Why did you use IPMS 3B in 9 Kingsley Gardens?
(Submission L2)

A

IPMS 3B is the measurement of the area in exclusive occupation.

As the property is split into maisonettes, I was measuring the exclusive occupation of the first floor maisonette therfore IPMS 3B is most appropriate.

26
Q

What is the main difference in measurements of IPMS and GIA?

A

IDF v wall

27
Q

What is the internal dominant face?

A

The inside finished surface that occupies over 50% of the wall section.

The internal finish comprising more than 50% of the floor to ceiling height for each wall Section.

28
Q

How do you identify which is the internal dominant face?
(submission L2)

A

The finished surface that occupies over 50% of the wall section.

29
Q

What is the finished surface?
(submission L2)

A

The wall surface directly above the horizontal wall–floor junction, ignoring skirting boards, cable trunking, heating and cooling units and pipework.

30
Q

What is the IPMSC ?

A

International Property Measurement Standards Coalition

31
Q

How would you check the boundaries accurately on site?

A

Land Registry title plan or OS map

32
Q

Can you tell me what you understand of margins of error in measurement?

A

It is up to the valuer’s discretion to decide

33
Q

What can be used to measure land?

A

Trundle wheel

34
Q

What scales are used on plans?

A

1:50 for a single room
1:100 for a building plan
1:1250 for a street/location plan
1:2500 for a location plan
1:50000 for a Road/walking plan

35
Q

What is a typical scale for a floorplan?

A

1:50/ 1:100

Typically

36
Q

What is the scale of a location plan?

A

1:1250

37
Q

How do you calibrate your laser distometer?

A

Send it off the manufacturers annually to be calibrated

38
Q

How accurate is a laser?

A

Lasers tend to be accurate to within c.1.5mm up to 200m

39
Q

Why is calibration for laser distometers important?

A

To ensure accuracy

40
Q

What can you do to ensure that your measurements are as accurate as possible?
(Submission L2)

A

Taking several check measurements
Ensuring the laser or tape is measuring from the correct surfaces
Checking measurements with scaled plans

41
Q

What are the benefits and limitations of a laser distometer?
(Submission L2)

A

Benefits:
- Accuracy
- Ease of use

Limitations:
- It does not function well in bright light
- Difficult to use in very narrow spaces

42
Q

How would you measure a bay window?

A

Using Trigonometry.

Measure both widths of the bay window (add together and divide by 2) times the depth of the bay window.

43
Q

If you were at a property and done all your measurements, when you came back to the office your measurements realised that you had missed a couple of dimensions, what would you do?

A

Use a scale ruler and scale a scaled floor plan.
