Certification & Standards Application

We don’t “claim” square footage—we prove it. As long-tenured co-authors of BOMA and contributors to IPMS, and one of the few nationally recognized BOMA standards interpreters, we select and apply the right standard for your objective—then show the math and the evidence.

Certified measurement documentation and variance report aligned with BOMA and IPMS standards — providing defensible data for transactions, audits, and lease negotiations.

Overview

This is where credibility meets outcome. We align your asset to the correct standard, resolve edge cases with written rationale, and document results that withstand diligence and dispute.

Standards authority

Longest-tenured co-authors of BOMA and IPMS standards work.
Expertise and specialists across REBNY, AIA, AIR, IFMA, GWCAR, GSA, municipal standards and related guidance.
One of two nationally recognized BOMA standards interpreters.
Leadership/committee roles across BOMA, IPMS, and advisory work touching ANSI application.
University instruction and industry seminars (USC, UCLA, UCI, CSULB, BOMA, AMA) reinforcing the discipline as a science.Contributing authorship to BOMA (multiple cycles since the 1980s) and active participation in IPMS development.

Selection with intent

We match the standard to the business purpose (leasing, ownership, development, regulatory) and explain the trade-offs.
Edge cases get written rulings (i.e., vertical penetrations, wall centers, mezzanines, shared/common areas).

Interpretation in practice

Decisions are applied on drawings and traceable to source (CDs, prior reports, lease exhibits), so counterparts can verify—not just accept.
Where legacy intent and current condition diverge, we surface documented deltas with rationale.

Where others fall short

“We can find more RSF” isn’t a standard—it’s a claim. Without authorship-level interpretation and a documented evidence chain, numbers don’t travel through a lease, renewal, or diligence process. We provide the why, the how, and the documentation to make it hold up.

Deliverables

The standard is stated and justified, not implied.
Every figure is traceable to drawings and the historical record.
Ambiguities are closed on the record, so your outcome is defendable—by design, not luck.

Outcomes

Confidence for lenders, buyers, tenants, and counsel—numbers with ironclad backing.
Reduced dispute risk and faster alignment across stakeholders
Where appropriate, documented RSF adjustments (average 4-6% when intent and condition diverge)—with the standards rationale to support them

What Changes in Our Hands
