LETTABLE AREA SURVEY PLAN
Our team can create a lettable area survey plan that is measured in accordance with the Property Council of Australia’s method of measurement guidelines to suit retail, commercial or industrial properties. From an accurately measured survey of a floor space we generate Lettable Area Plans to assist with rental calculations, property valuations, and lease documentation.
Lettable Area Surveys for rental calculations and more
A lettable area survey is a measured survey of a floor space for leasing purposes. Lettable area surveys are often used to assist with rental calculations, property valuation, and lease documentation.
Receiving a lettable area survey from an experienced surveying company is essential to receiving accurate lettable areas to safeguard the interests of both tenants and owners.
A small miscalculation in the NLA (Net Lettable Area) or GLA (Gross Lettable Area) of a property can have significant negative impact when multiplied over the course of a 10 or 20 year lease.

Our typical process
We utilise the latest surveying technology to capture our data then produce our marketing plans. Using the latest CAD software programs everything is captured and processed accurately to start producing our marketing drawings. The equipment we use is state of the art, ranging from traditional total stations to 3D laser scanning or RPA (drone). We only use the latest software tools including AutoCAD & Revit.
Once our plans are drafted they go through an intensive QA process via an independent audit to ensure that what we have captured is delivered to the highest levels of accuracy possible.
In summary;
- Initial consultation to ensure we can meet your needs.
- Agree on a scope of work.
- A site visit is organised with one of our qualified technicians with the necessary data collection equipment.
- All data is then processed via our team located in one of our offices around the Country.
- All plans or drawings are then independently reviewed via our QA process.
- All deliverables are then created for viewing in PDF, AutoCAD or Revit.
- We also have the ability to create a 3D scan or virtual tour of your property to create a fully interactive view of a site.
