What are floorplan services?
Home measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. The appraiser’s report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.
How does a floorplan service work?
During a measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They may make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the general layout. The result is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.
