Standards Cited
- RICS — Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors — Code of Measuring Practice (6th edition)
Defines standard methods for measuring floor areas (GIA, NIA, GEA) used in price-per-sqm calculations
Formulas Used
- Price per m²:
pricePerSqm = totalPrice / areaSqm
Source: RICS measurement standards - Price per ft²:
pricePerSqFt = pricePerSqm / 10.764
Source: NIST conversion factor (1 m² = 10.764 ft²) - Total from Rate:
totalPrice = pricePerSqm x areaSqm
Source: Standard calculation - ft² to m² Price Conversion:
pricePerSqm = pricePerSqFt x 10.764
Source: NIST conversion factor
Key Assumptions
- 1 m² = 10.764 ft² (standard conversion factor) — NIST
- Areas are assumed to be measured to RICS standards (Net Internal Area for most purposes) — RICS Code of Measuring Practice
