What is meant by the term Modified BOMA?
• How allocation of common area is done (such as use of a single average R/U Ratio for all floors of a building), • How space is measured (such as measuring Gross Measured Area to the outside face of the building instead of the Dominant Surface), and • How space is classified (such as including exterior balconies as usable or building common area, or including toilets in the usable area of full-floor tenants). Use of the term “Modified BOMA” by itself is ambiguous and can be misleading. Whatever specific modifications are made must be carefully described and documented along with the citation of the BOMA Standard. This same principle applies to modified applications of other standards.
