The importance of accurate as-built drawings is often overlooked by building owners and property managers. Accurate as-built drawings are a critical component to ensure accurate BOMA square footage calculations. When it comes to measuring a building, every inch counts. For example, envision a 20-story building with a typical floor plate of 25,000 square feet. The current as-built drawings show the glass line inaccurately and the glass line is actually located 1” farther out then shown. For a typical 25,000 square foot floor plate this would result in a net loss of 58 rentable square feet per floor. A net loss of 58 rentable square feet per floor across 20 floors equals a net loss of 1,160 rentable square feet. With a current lease rate of $24 per square foot the net loss in revenue would equal $27,840.
As-built drawings drive major business decisions from leasing, capital improvements and operations so it is vital they are accurate to ensure you capitalize on your investment.
