Types of Lettable Area Surveys that We Specialise In

Gross Lettable Area Retail (GLAR) Surveys:

This type of survey is conducted for retail tenancies. While conducting our GLAR surveys, our experts take measurements from the internal surfaces on the exterior walls or midline of any shared walls to accurately calculate the total occupiable floor space. We also include areas of exclusive use for the occupant, such as basements and mezzanines, in our lease area survey.

You can use our GLAR surveys to accurately determine the retail tenancy areas in a commercial building, a shopping centre, a strip shop, a semi-detached or terrace-type shop, or a freestanding shop.

Gross Lettable Area (GLA) Surveys: 

This type of survey is conducted for commercial and industrial properties. While conducting our GLA surveys, our experts calculate the total lettable floor space with the measurements taken from exterior wall surfaces and/or the midline of any shared walls. We also include areas such as mezzanine floors in our surveys. You can use our GLA surveys for a wide range of properties, such as showrooms, warehouses, industrial buildings and freestanding supermarkets.

Net Lettable Area (NLA) Surveys: 

These  types of lettable areas surveys are carried out for office buildings. While conducting our NLA surveys, our qualified experts take measurements from the internal surfaces on the exterior walls and/or mid-line of any shared walls and exclude areas such as toilets, stairwells, vertical service ducts, and lift lobbies while calculating the total occupiable floor space.

You can use our NLA surveys to identify the floor space of multistory properties and office buildings.
