Fast answerA published standard method used to calculate and communicate office building areas. BOMA maintains specific standards and editions for different property types.
Why it matters
Saying BOMA alone does not identify the exact measurement basis.
What to request
Request the property-type standard, edition, method, preparer, plans and area calculation.
Planning example
BOMA 2024 for Office Buildings is ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2024; confirm the standard actually used for the premises. The example organizes arithmetic or evidence only; the transaction documents and facts determine the result.
