Standardized Property Measuring Guidelines

[CGinMN]

The same rise over run (or its inverse) is often repeated over the structure. Rise over run can also be measured on the interior, or a just segment of a larger wall.

Forget about it. When new GSE forms come out, you will put your signature on the certification IF you do GSE work.

I can almost guarantee the new certification will certify to ANSI standards.

How do you find the hypotenuse of an isosceles or scalene triangle.

I am still not following you.... where would you have a situation where there is not a right angle created by a bump out? And if not a right triangle, and I can measure all three lengths...I still solve it easy enough.

Who what how are you answering? Or do you even know?

When there is no right angle. I have run into it on occasion. Not every irregular shape is the result of a bump out.

If you get used to dealing with wall thickness, interior measure + wall thickness = exterior measure. On those few occasions were you cannot get an accurate exterior measurement, you can substitute with interior + wall thickness. Otherwise the two measurements should be the same - and that is the major reconciliation error check that should help you sleep at night and feel sure of yourself if you wind up in court or before the board. The appraiser should be the absolute expert on this - as architect plans are often enough in error because contractors sometimes don't follow them.

I have to take the update class but the only major thing that changed "I think" is outside wall is not included in like a room over garage where you have large sloping ceiling with a knee wall. I could be wrong. There could be other changes I am not aware of.

I just had finished attic in one where none of it was considered GLA. The entrance to finished attic was like 5 ft ceiling height(may have had to bend if you are 5 ft tall). It was like 11.5 feet wide and only 4 ft of of 7 ft ceiling height in middle of room. I gave it value. It was on separate line item. Had to do depreciated cost on it to give it value. No way to bracket it on sales. Obviously there was no way to give it the same value per sqft as GLA on first floor. That room's h&B use is likely a play room for small children.

Whoever spent the money on finishing that attic had more money or time than they needed on cost vs benefit.
