Area Measuring
What is Area Measuring and Why Does it Matter?
Accurate area measurement is critical for property management, leasing agreements, refurbishment planning, and compliance. Whether you’re calculating floor space, determining usable area, or validating space for asset management, having trusted data is essential.
At Survey Solutions, we provide building measurement surveys in full alignment with the RICS Code of Measuring Practice (6th Edition). Our work supports commercial decisions, legal documentation, and project planning for buildings across all sectors.
What We Measure
Our surveys typically include:
- Gross External Area (GEA): Measurement to the external face of the perimeter walls, including overhangs and open-sided areas.
- Gross Internal Area (GIA): Measurement to the internal face of perimeter walls, including areas occupied by stairwells, lifts, fuel stores, and entrance halls.
- Net Internal Area (NIA): Measurement of the usable space within a building, excluding perimeter walls, stairwells, lifts, and other non-usable areas.
These measurements are essential for:
- Understanding the area within a building that can be occupied.
- Defining building floor space for leasing and valuation.
- Supporting asset management and facilities planning.
We can also provide detailed floor plans, including building measured surveys and specific areas like fuel stores and open-sided structures, where required.
