So, we had to move to a serviced office as our last one was being redeveloped into flats.

It is a new standard for measuring property internationally that has been produced to ensure the same method of reporting areas of buildings is use.
At the moment, it only applies to offices, but will in time be applicable for Residential, retail, industrial and leisure. RICS say that it is mandatory for all members and as measurement consultants we are to treat it in the same way as the current Code of Measuring practice 6th edition.
Now that the building is nearing practical completion having undergone a dramatic transformation by the developers Resolution Properties they instructed Plan London to survey the building to provide warranted areas of the completed spaces.
