Building
Owners Managers Association (BOMA) :
Floor space determinations
provide a floor plan listing the square footage of the entire building
and/or of the separate lease spaces. Layouts of physical spaces in the
buildings often vary substantially from the floor plans provided by building
owners. As tenants move in and out, walls are often added or removed.
A business that leases space in a building needs an accurate measurement
of the actual space available for use. Building owners and buyers often
need to know actual dimensions prior to making lease decisions.
We measure these areas utilizing the Standard Method for Measuring Floor
Area in Office Buildings published by the Building Owners and Managers
Association International or BOMA (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996). This guide provides
terms and definitions essential to providing accurate square footage numbers,
such as Dominant Portion, Floor Rentable Area, Usable Area, Floor Usable
Area, Basic Rentable Area, and others.
