Identify the measurement standard
BOMA publishes property-specific measurement standards and editions. Ask which standard and method produced the quoted area and obtain the supporting calculation when it affects rent.
Expose the cost effect
Apply rent and recoveries to each unresolved billed area. A modest area difference can affect recurring rent, tenant allowances and proportionate shares.
Compare floor efficiency
Evaluate how the actual work program fits the premises, including columns, core, circulation, rooms and window line. A lower rentable area is not automatically more efficient.
Control remeasurement
Review who may remeasure, when, under which standard and how any change affects rent, allowances and other calculations.
Evidence boundary: office availability and quoted economics change. Confirm current premises, authority, area, costs, permitted use and documents for the specific transaction. Read the methodology.
