Area Consulting

“Their consultants were experienced, open minded and handled the project with solid expertise.”

Avi Tesciuba, VP Hines

Calculating area is not a simple task. Even with perfectly accurate drawings, expert knowledge is required to correctly delineate regions of area and to attribute gross-ups for common spaces. Our consulting services help you understand and gain control of this process. You'll have input in how standards are interpreted and applied. We'll stand behind you in the case of questions or disputes. In addition to our area reports and drawings, we will support you with area certificates for specific areas in your building. For over ten years, we have participated in dispute resolution and have provided expert witness testimony on the behalf of our clients.

Expert Area Calculation Consultation

After accurately surveying a building, an appropriate standard is used to define various regions of area. (click here to learn how area is allocated) Where exactly the edges of these regions are: the inside of a wall, the outside, or the centre-line depends on the context and on the relevant standard.(click here for a list of standards) Before we finalize numbers, we'll spend time with you to ensure you are comfortable with our proposed results and fully understand the methods used.

No two buildings are identical, and no building looks exactly like the 'example' in the standard. We often come across unique situations. In these cases there are choices to be made. We use our years of experience and the inherent logic of the standard to make appropriate interpretations. Again, clients are involved in the process and we ensure that you fully understand the end result.

We will help you make the best use of your information: understand it and apply it.
