Accurate documentation is the bedrock of any successful renovation, real estate transaction, or facility management plan. We recognize that “as-built” can mean many things depending on who you ask, which is why we strictly adhere to industry standards to provide clarity. By defining these benchmarks early, we ensure that every stakeholder has the exact data they need.
Defining Accuracy with Level of Development (LOD)
In the world of 3D modeling, the Level of Development (LOD) framework determines how much detail is included in your as-built drawings. We help you decide whether you need basic spatial geometry or high-detail models that include specific manufacturer data. This clarity allows us to tailor our data collection to your specific project goals, ensuring you never pay for unnecessary detail.
The Gold Standard for Floor Area: BOMA
When it comes to commercial real estate, square footage is synonymous with value. We utilize BOMA standards to provide precise, defensible measurements of floor area for office, industrial, and retail spaces. By following these globally recognized methods, we help property owners and managers maximize their rentable area while providing tenants with transparent, accurate calculations that stand up to any audit.
Navigating the Nuances of REBNY Standards
For our clients in the New York market, understanding the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) guidelines is essential. Unlike BOMA, REBNY standards often involve different “loss factors” and measurement perimeters unique to the city’s real estate landscape. We are experts at navigating these regional complexities, ensuring your local filings and lease agreements are based on compliant and highly accurate field data.
Integrating Standards into Your Workflow
Choosing the right standard is only half the battle; the other half is expert execution. We bridge the gap between raw field measurements and polished architectural drawings by applying these rigorous standards during the drafting process. This systematic approach ensures that our deliverables integrate perfectly into your existing legal, financial, and construction workflows, reducing the risk of disputes or delays.
At Archidata Services, we take the guesswork out of property documentation by delivering precision that aligns with LOD, BOMA, and REBNY requirements. Whether you are managing a single floor or a national portfolio, our expertise ensures your as-built drawings are an asset rather than a liability. We invite you to contact Archidata Services today to discuss which measurement standards are right for your next project or to request a quote for our specialized surveying services.
