BOMA 2024 Gross Areas Standard Methods of Measurement - ANSI/BOMA Z65.3-2024 is the update to the original 2009 Gross Areas Standard. The BOMA Gross Areas Standard was developed in direct response to requests for a floor measurement standard that could be applied to all building types and forms of occupancy—office, industrial, retail, multi-unit residential, mixed-use and campus-style facilities. The purpose of the Gross Areas Standard is to provide a comprehensive and consistent methodology for measuring all building types while presenting the data in various ways that are useful to the stakeholders of any given property.
The primary objectives of this standard are:
To promote an unambiguous framework for determining the gross areas of any building
To facilitate transparency and clear communication of building measurement concepts among all participants in the commercial real estate industry.
To allow a comparison of values on the basis of a clearly understood and generally agreed upon method of measurement.
To align concepts and measurement methodologies with the International Property Measurement Standards (IPMS).
