Area Measurement

Area Measurement
JS Measured Surveys is a trusted provider of accurate and reliable area measurement services across the UK, adhering to industry-leading standards like the RICS Code of Measuring Practice and International Property Measurement Standards (IPMS). Our area measurement services are designed to support property valuation, space planning, leasing, and regulatory compliance, ensuring stakeholders have the essential data to make informed decisions.

Comprehensive Area Measurement Solutions
Our area measurement services provide detailed, high-quality data for various applications in real estate, construction, and property management. Our solutions encompass:

• Gross External Area (GEA): This measures the building's external footprint at each floor level, including external walls. GEA data is vital for asset management, property valuation, planning applications, and compliance with local regulations.

• Gross Internal Area (GIA): Calculated to the internal face of the perimeter walls at each floor level, GIA captures all enclosed spaces, including both usable and non-usable areas. GIA measurement is essential for valuation, lease negotiations, regulatory adherence, and comprehensive property management.

• Net Internal Area (NIA): Measuring the usable area within a building, NIA excludes areas like corridors, mechanical rooms, and other non-habitable spaces. NIA reports offer detailed, room-by-room measurements critical for leasing, space optimization, regulatory compliance, and valuation. They help property managers, landlords, and tenants make well-informed decisions on occupancy, rent calculations, and space planning.

Our team is skilled in various methodologies, employing advanced tools such as GPS, laser scanners, and, where necessary, aerial measurement techniques to ensure the highest accuracy. We also reference legal and historical documents to verify boundaries and dimensions, supporting informed property transactions and development planning.
