The leasing, acquisition, valuation, marketing or disposal of a building usually requires an accurate area statement to be calculated for various legal and cost reasons. Using a professional independent company like EMP Chartered Surveyors ensures reliable and unbiased information. A variety of different types of area calculations are available dependent on your specific requirements including:

  • Gross External Area (GEA)
  • Gross Internal Area (GIA)
  • Net Internal Area (NIA) - IPMS 1, 2 & 3 - Office & Residential

RICS property measurement, 2nd edition (January 2018)

Following the release of IPMS: Office Buildings and IPMS: Residential Buildings, the RICS have redrafted the Code of measuring practice and incorporated it in the RICS property measurement, 2nd edition (January 2018). This document became mandatory for all RICS members from 1 May 2018. In the first instance, the Professional Statement (IPMS) is for offices and residential classes only with the incorporated Code of measuring practice still to be used for other property classes.
