Is CubiCasa acceptable for FHA appraisal?

HUD/FHA requires outside measurements be used. CubiCasa uses interior measurements

Maybe for condos?

No, FHA does not want the inside wall Dims, that is what CC would give you
Also, FHA does not require ANSI or to the Inch crap
Many FHA Appraisers still round to the 1/4 foot (3 inches)
So, no, don't pay for a Floor Plan, there is no need

Just did an FHA and did inside walls, its a condo.

Yes, typically CONDO Reports use Inside Dims and always have
They are the odd ball in this case
Having done many I still see no need to build a floor plan with CC
a Laser tool should be all you need

I've had a ton of condos that were 1080 sf. All the listings said, 1080 sf, assessor records said 1080 sf, if I measured it to unfinished surfaces, it was close to 1080 sf, so in the grid when I was comparing comparables I used 1080 sf. Being consistent across the board has the benefit of consistency.

CubiCasa requires you upload appraisal information to a third party for processing. This might violate client confidentiality, so we don't use it.
A better question is, has this been considered by the powers that be, not only on the federal level, but on your state board level?

Yea. But in the regions we cover (11 counties) the courthouses round their measurements to the nearest foot, as do listing agents (if they measure at all), so comparing our ANSI measurements of a tenth of a foot to theirs is comparing apples to oranges. And we can't measure each comparable for every appraisal, we have to go by the courthouse records (accuracy unknown).
