Existing Conditions Delivers Trusted BOMA Measurements with Advanced Technology

GPRS BOMA Measurement Services

Fast. Accurate. Compliant.

Existing Conditions is now a GPRS company, and we deliver BOMA compliant lease plans and area analysis that help property owners maximize value and manage buildings with confidence. Our services support offices, industrial facilities, retail centers, multi-family and hospitality properties, and mixed use developments. We provide clean, accurate plans with minimal disruption and a rapid turnaround, ensuring your projects start on time and operate efficiently.

Who Uses BOMA Lease Plans & Area Analysis

BOMA lease plans and area analysis are primarily used by businesses involved in commercial real estate, property management, and facilities operations. They provide standardized, accurate measurements of usable and rentable space, which are critical for leasing, valuation, and compliance.

This list summarizes the different stakeholders who benefit from BOMA-standard area measurements and lease documentation, along with the specific ways they use that data.
‍

• Property Owners and Landlords: Ensure fair and consistent rentable area calculations, maximize revenue, and increase property value.
• Property Managers: Use lease plans to manage tenant spaces, reduce disputes, and streamline lease administration.
• Commercial Real Estate Investors and Appraisers: Rely on accurate area analysis for due diligence, valuation, and acquisition decisions.
• Facilities Managers: Apply BOMA data to optimize space utilization, plan renovations, and manage building operations.
• Architects and Designers: Use lease plans as a baseline for tenant improvements, reconfigurations, and compliance with building standards.
• General Contractors and Builders: Rely on precise measurements for construction planning, retrofits, and renovations.
• Corporate Tenants: Confirm that the leased space matches contractual obligations and supports workplace planning.
• Developers: Apply BOMA standards to calculate gross leasable areas, ensuring consistency across diverse property types.
• Financial Institutions: Use standardized lease area analysis to support lending, underwriting, and valuation reports.

What Technology Does GPRS Use for BOMA Lease Plans and Area Analysis

GPRS’ proprietary Building Surveyor software establishes a direct Bluetooth connection between a handheld laser measurement device and a tablet, enabling continuous real-time acquisition of spatial data points. The system automatically translates these inputs into vectorized wall line geometry within the CAD environment, ensuring immediate accuracy and traceability of measurement data. This eliminates manual steps, increases speed and accuracy, and allows our Project Managers to measure up to 25,000 square feet per day with an accuracy better than 0.2%.

The GPRS BOMA Measurement Process

• Real-time measurement capture: Project Managers begin in one corner of a room and trace the perimeter with a handheld laser. Each measurement is transmitted via Bluetooth directly to the tablet, where wall lines are drawn automatically.
• Error detection and correction: When the Project Manager completes the loop, the software compares the final point to the starting point. If the closure is outside a narrow tolerance, the system flags potential input errors or angled walls. The Project Manager rechecks measurements until the room closes perfectly, similar to a land survey.
• Room by room precision: This process is repeated for every room, regardless of size. By the time the survey is complete, the floor plan is fully documented using the appropriate BOMA standard, eliminating the need for costly return trips.
• Immediate spatial validation: Because measurements are captured in real time, Project Managers can confirm the correct placement of items such as sinks, counters, and furniture relative to other improvements.
• Advanced geometry: Curves and angles are easily documented by triangulating from known survey points, ensuring that complex layouts are captured with precision.
• Measuring speed: Vacant and open areas can be documented quickly, allowing Project Managers to move efficiently through the space. In contrast, heavily occupied, cluttered environments such as medical office buildings require more time and care to ensure every detail is captured accurately.
• Reality capture: 3D laser scanning can be employed to document hard-to-measure building features, detailed wall and ceiling decorations, and historic elements.
• CAD deliverables: Survey data is processed into CAD drawings within days after fieldwork, depending on project size. This rapid turnaround provides teams with reliable documentation to begin design, coordination, and construction without costly delays.
