Whether you own or lease your properties, many costs are driven by square meters. Cleaning, reception, operations, maintenance, security and other support services are often priced per area unit. But when floor area data is spread across different systems, it becomes difficult to know whether you’re paying the right amount, whether index adjustments are applied correctly, and whether contract terms are actually being followed.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Different floor area figures in CAD files, Excel sheets and supplier records
- Unclear definitions of what’s included (production areas, offices, warehouses, shared spaces)
- Difficult to link areas to cost centers, sites and buildings
- Contracts are based on sqm pricing, but area data is rarely updated or lacks traceability
- Index adjustments and contract terms are handled manually → risk of errors and late corrections
- You may be paying for areas that have changed, been closed or rebuilt
- Contracts continue to renew without anyone tracking changes, options or notice periods
