Veranda definition
According to the International Property Measurement Standards (IPMS): Residential Buildings, published by the International Property Measurement Standards Coalition (IPMSC) in September 2016, a veranda is:
| An open or partly enclosed area on the outside of a building at ground level (level 0), and covered by a roof that is an integral part of the building. |
A ‘patio’ is ‘a paved or floored terrace, adjacent to a building, which may or may not be covered by an independent framework.’
