BOMA & ANSI Area Measurement Surveys

What a  BOMA and ANSI Area Measurement Survey Covers

Area  measurement surveys quantify the rentable, usable, and gross area of  commercial and multi-family properties according to recognized standards.  BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) publishes standards for  office, industrial, multi-unit residential, and mixed-use properties.  ANSI/BOMA Z65 is the ANSI-approved measurement standard for office buildings.  Other standards apply to retail and gross area. The certified measurement is  used for lease square footage, valuation, property management, and transactional  documentation. We perform area measurement under the supervision of a  licensed PLS, with certified reports that meet leasing, lender, and  transaction requirements.

Common  Reasons Clients Request a BOMA and ANSI Area Measurement Survey

• Leasing  office, retail, or industrial space requiring certified rentable area

• Lease renewals or audits where tenants question measured  area

• Property acquisitions requiring certified area documentation

• Refinancing where lenders require certified area measurement

• Multi-tenant buildings establishing rentable and usable area  for all tenants

• Conversion of buildings to condominiums requiring unit area  certification

• Property tax appeals based on disputed building area

• Property management workflows requiring updated area  measurements after renovation

What’s  Included in a BOMA and ANSI Area Measurement Survey

• Field  measurement of all building areas per the applicable BOMA or ANSI standard

• Classification of areas (rentable, usable, common, service)  per the standard

• Application of the appropriate measurement methodology  (gross area, exterior measurement, interior face of wall, etc.)

• Calculation of load factor and common area allocations

• Certified area report meeting BOMA or ANSI documentation  requirements

• Floor plan with area calculations and classifications

• Signed and sealed deliverable for transactional use

Common  BOMA and ANSI Area Measurement Survey Add-Ons

• Floor plan  survey integration with the area measurement

• 3D laser scanning for complex interiors requiring precision

• Scan-to-BIM with area tabulations built into the model

• Re-measurement after renovations or tenant changes

• Specific lease exhibit preparation

What We  Need to Start Your BOMA and ANSI Area Measurement Survey

• Property  address and access details

• Applicable measurement standard (BOMA 2017 Office, ANSI/BOMA  Z65, BOMA Industrial, BOMA Multi-unit Residential, etc.)

• Building size (number of floors, approximate square footage)

• Specific tenant spaces or whole-building scope

• Purpose (lease, transaction, refinance, appeal, etc.)

• Existing floor plans or prior area measurements if available

• Timeline driven by lease, transaction, or audit deadline

Our BOMA  and ANSI Area Measurement Survey Process

1. Standard  confirmation. We confirm which BOMA or ANSI standard applies and the specific  scope of measurement.

2. Existing documentation review. We review any existing floor  plans, lease exhibits, or prior area calculations.

3. Field measurement. Our crew measures the building per the  applicable standard's methodology.

4. Calculation. We apply the standard's rules to calculate  rentable, usable, common, and service areas.

5. Report and exhibit preparation. We prepare the certified  area report and supporting floor plan exhibits.

6. Delivery. We deliver the stamped, signed certification.
