BOMA standard
Spatial accuracy to maximize the profitability of your real estate assets
Certification of leased spaces under the BOMA standard is the must-have strategic tool for building owners, managers and tenants. By rigorously establishing the surface area of your premises, Ecce Terra provides you with irrefutable data for managing your commercial, industrial or institutional leases. This standardized measurement method secures your agreements, anticipates grey areas and ensures that every square metre of your investment yields its fair value.
What is the BOMA standard (leased space certification)?
The certification of leased spaces under the BOMA standard (founded in 1907) is the international benchmark method for calculating and standardizing rentable surface areas in commercial, industrial or institutional buildings. Used in Canada and the United States by owners, managers, investors and landlords, this method stands apart through its tailored measurement approach: it does not simply account for the space strictly occupied by the tenant, but also equitably distributes common areas (corridors, elevators, stairwells, washrooms) on a pro rata basis among all occupants. At the conclusion of the process, our surveyors provide you with an official measurement certificate (consisting of a plan and a report). This document then becomes an undeniable asset for establishing a fair rental price, factoring in the actual surface area and operating costs, while effectively protecting you against potential real estate disputes.
