BOMA
standard
The BOMA standard is used to assess and certify the surface areas of commercial, industrial and institutional leased spaces. This standardized method, approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is the most widely utilized for such calculations. It ensures fair, accurate, comparable and standardized results.
Standardized, recognized leased space calculation
An authority
Established in 1907, the international Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) represents various stakeholders in the real estate sector and introduced the standardized method for measuring building space. Employed by occupants, owners, managers, appraisers, designers, investors, and landlords, the BOMA standard is instrumental in calculating leased space across Canada, the United States and many other countries.
Customized measurement
A distinctive feature of the BOMA method is its consideration of not only the surface area occupied exclusively by the tenant but also the space accessible to all occupants. Common areas such as stairwells, elevators, corridors and washrooms are divided equally among all occupants. This tool provides a standardized measure and is regularly updated to reflect changes in the leased property landscape, continuously evolving to adapt to the dynamics of rental properties.
An invaluable resource
Our surveyors will prepare a measurement certificate for you, which includes a plan and a report. Get the precise measurements and surface area of a leased space. Specifically, the certificate acts as a preventative measure against potential disputes between owners and tenants or occupants concerning the exact surface area covered by an agreement. It also makes it possible to establish a fairer rental rate for both parties by factoring in the surface area, as well as maintenance and operational costs.
