Lease Area Surveys

What is a Lease Area Survey?

Lease Area Surveys are carried out to measure the area of land or space within a building. This area serves as the foundation for calculating the rental value of the property or land under the terms of the lease agreement.

Methods of Measurement

Depending on the kind of area that is being leased, there are different ways to calculate a space’s lettable area.

Three standards used in commercial leases have been established by the Property Council of Australia:

Net area surveys for commercial properties such as office buildings and Business Parks.
Gross area surveys for industrial sites such as warehouses, showrooms, industrial workshops and for free-standing supermarkets.
Gross area surveys for retail tenancies in shopping centres, shopping strips and free-standing shops.

The Property Council of Australia Method of Measurement guidelines makes sure that lettable area calculations are done consistently across a range of businesses or applications, including corporate office buildings, supermarkets, and retail spaces in malls. The guidelines are a great place to start, but a licensed land surveyor will be able to interpret them, offer advice on how to apply them best to your particular needs, and help you finish your lease area plan.

(Note: Lease Area Surveys were formerly known as BOMA surveys, and the Building Owners and Managers Association served as the previous equivalent industry body.)

Tenants, property owners, property managers and agents all need lease area surveys in order to enter into renewing or negotiating a lease of a property for your business.

Why Do We Need a Lease Area Survey?

Lease area surveys/plans are necessary:

To abide by the Property Council of Australia’s legal requirements, which may apply to long-term or expensive leases.
To prevent owner-tenancy disputes over the use of the land or area during the term of the lease. Simply put, if an area is incorrectly quoted, it could easily result in expensive disputes or legal action. As a tenant, you only want to pay for the space you actually use, and as an owner or agent, you only want to lease a certain area.
For the purpose of future business planning cost and use. Once more, over the course of ten years, a small error in calculating a leased area can have a sizable impact.

Tried using you're online chat to get some information on the website. Pretty much waiting 5 minutes for basic responses that are of no help or use. Haven't used there surveying services but don't offer online chats if no one is available to chat live, it just wasted 15 minutes of my time for a response when a general enquiry form could have sufficed for enquiries.

Prime Surveying Land Development (PSLD) were wonderful to deal with. Always attentive and on top of the POS (5 townhouse development in Camberwell) and extremely helpful with what we had to get to them (checklist so nothing was missed). WeiWei Lee in particular was wonderful to deal with. When the usual rush came at the end for the final POS & titles as they were so organised this ran really smoothly. This was the first time we have used PSLD (architect referral) and we will definitely be using them again on future projects.

From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations in every way and the professionalism and expertise they showed stood out from the moment we made initial contact. They were prompt in responding to my inquiries with great detail and went above and beyond to accommodate my specific needs and timelines to resolve a dispute. Their clear communication and willingness to address any questions or concerns I had were greatly appreciated and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you so much!

I couldn’t speak more highly enough of the team at Prime. I was let down by another land surveyor and was in desperate need for someone to come out at short notice to give me some critical reference marks before I pored a concrete slab for a new building. Prime not only came out and did the job , they set the bar very high with their attention to detail and communication.CheersJoshCoburg VIC

From start to finish, Prime Land Consultants were fantastic to work with on a NICO Subdivision application.They were highly responsive and eager to answer any questions I had. They also recommended a conveyancer with experience with the particularly subdivision application, which made the process much smoother.Highly recommend. Would work with again without a second thought.

Just a very brief note to state that Prime honoured their side of the deal by being very fast to provide us with our survey plans and drawings. Tony Nguyen was our contact who was most professional and friendly. The two man crew who attended to conduct all the survey measurements were two young friendly lads too. My experience with Prime would be rated 5/5

These fellas are top notch - polite and thorough - they communicated well and their quote was competitive.
