 Introduction
• This session comprises the following topics :
– Uniform Method of Measurement of Buildings
– Measurement and Conversion
– Classification of Site Plans
Uniform Method Of Measurement Of
Buildings
 Uniform Method Of Measurement Of
Buildings
• Uniform Method of Measurement of Buildings is a
guidelines published Royal Institution of Surveyors
Malaysia (RISM) since 2006.
• Purpose : to provide uniform and accurate
guidelines on the measurement of building and
structure which are being erected on the land.
• Sources to be referred by the valuers, estate agents
and property managers.
 Requirement to use as stipulated in
the Standard 6, MVS 2015
• The "Uniform Method of Measurement of
Buildings" of the Royal Institution of Surveyors
Malaysia shall be used for all measurements
of buildings. For properties situated outside
Malaysia, the Valuer shall use the
appropriate/applicable methods of
measurement.
Main Components
• Gross Floor Area
• Net Lettable Area
• Effective Floor Area
• Gross External Cube
• External Eaves Height
• Other Building
Improvements
 Features of the Method
• Gross Floor Area (GFA) is the sum of the Main Floor
Area (MFA) and the Ancillary Floor Area (AFA).
– MFA is the total area of walled-in and roofed space of the
building being the sum of each floor measured to the
external wall face of the enclosing walls or to the centre of
party walls.
– AFA includes the total floor area of car parks, open-sided
balconies (with or without roof), terraces, verandahs (5-
footways), air-wells, porches, passages and open sided
covered ways, roof gardens, substation space, external
staircase, loading bays (service areas), patios, pergolas,
internal gardens and canopies. All these areas must be
measured and shown. Outbuildings are not included but
shown separately.
 Main Floor
Area (MFA)

Ancillary Floor
Area (AFA)
 Features of the Method
• Net Lettable Area (NLA) is measured to the
internal face of the perimeter walls at each floor
level.
• Gross External Cube (GEC) is the sum of the MFA
multiplied by the height. Vertical measurements
are to be taken from the floor surface to the top
(external) roof surface for flat roof. For pitched or
lean-to roof and other roofs, vertical
measurement is taken to halfway up the height of
the pitched roof or the average height.

Measurement and Conversion
 English and Metric System
• English System : historic measurement units used since the
Middle Age which was originated from the Anglo-Saxon and
Rom Systems.
• Metric System : use a decimal numbering measurement
system and was introduced in the France since the end of
18th Century.
• Metric System mainly use and known as International
System of Units (SI).
Length and Distance in the English
System
• Basic units of this system : inch (in), foot
(ft), yard (yd) and mile(mil).
• Other units : rod (rd), furlong (fur) and
chain (ch).
• Conversion units
1 foot = 12 inch
1 yard = 3 foot
1 rod = 5.5 yard = 16.5 foot
1 chain = 4 rod = 66 foot = 100 links
1 furlong = 10 chain = 40 rod = 660 foot
1 mile = 8 furlongs = 80 chain = 320 rod = 1,760 yard = 5,280 feet
Length and Distance in the Metric
System
• Basic unit is meter which calculated based on the distance of one per
ten million from the distance between the Equator to North Pole.
• Other form meter units : millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm) and
decimeter (dm), decameter, hectometer and kilometer.
• Conversion units
1 meter (m) = 1,000 millimeter (mm)
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeter (cm)
1 meter (m) = 10 decimeter
10 decameter = 10 meter (m)
1 hectometer = 100 meter (m)
1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meter (m)

CONTOH 1 : KELUASAN TANAH METER
PERSEGI (MP)
Contoh :

No. Lot : 188736

Luas Lot : 465 mp

Jadi, keluasan dalam

kaki persegi ialah :

= 465 mp X 10.7639
= 5,005 kp
CONTOH 2 : KELUASAN TANAH METER
PERSEGI (MP)
Contoh :

No. Lot : PT1881

Luas Lot : 1,020 kp

Jadi, keluasan dalam

meter persegi ialah :

= 1,020 kp ÷ 10.7639
= 94.76 mp
CONTOH 3 : EKAR (TERMASUK ROD DAN POLE),
HEKTAR, MP DAN KP
Contoh :
No. Lot : 3872
Luas Lot : 1 ekar 3 rod 01 pole

Jadi, keluasan dalam ekar, hektar, kaki persegi

dan meter persegi adalah :
Ekar = 1 ekar +3/4 ekar + 1/160 ekar
= 1 + 0.75 + 0.006
= 1.756 ekar
Hektar = 1.756 ekar ÷ 2.471 ekar
= 0.7106 hektar
Kp = 1.756 ekar X 43,560 kp
= 76,491 kp
Mp = 1.756 ekar X 4,046.86 mp
= 7,106.29 mp
CONTOH 4 : KELUASAN TANAH HEKTAR
Contoh :

No. Lot : 2100

Luas Lot : 2.216 hektar

Jadi, keluasan dalam ekar

ialah :

= 2.216 hektar X 2.471

ekar
= 5.475 ekar

Types of Site Plans
 Revenue Survey Sheet (RSS)
• Also known as Cadaster Plan.
• This plan shows the boundaries of lots from
Certified Plan (CP) which were approved by the
State Director of Surveying and Mapping.
• Features : shows the boundaries of International,
state, district, mukim and lot in the various scales
such as 1 chain = 4 inch and 1 chain = 8 inch.
• Other Information : administrative boundaries,
CP numbers and lot numbers.
 Certified Plan (CP)
• Features : lot boundaries in the various scale
and systematic.
• Information related to the lot such as location,
lot number, lot area, bearing and distance are
shown in the plan.

 Boundary marks
• Section 5 of the National Land Code 1965
