BOMA measuring is the industry-accepted way to calculate square footage in commercial buildings, and it decides how much rent a space actually generates. The Building Owners and Managers Association standard covers office, retail, warehouse, industrial, and multifamily rental buildings, and we apply it before leases are signed so owners and tenants are working from the same number.
Two careful measurements of the same floor can differ by a couple of percent. What matters is that the method behind the number is documented and defensible.
ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2010 remains the predominant standard for measuring office lease areas in the United States, and it is our default for office work.
Occupant area, floor service area, and building common area calculated and clearly labeled on the plan.
Add-on factors calculated per floor so ownership can see exactly how common areas affect each tenant's rentable area.
Comparisons between BOMA 1980, 1986, and 2010 when a landlord adopts a newer standard and rentable areas shift.
Areas get reclassified over time, from occupant space to service space or the reverse. We re-run the numbers when that happens.
Independent measurement for tenants who want rentable square footage verified before signing a lease. A two percent margin of error is typical in the industry.
Whether you are re-stacking a tower or reviewing a lease before signing, we will measure the space and show our work.
