Definition: Building Standards refers to the detailed design specifications that are ordinarily offered as options at no additional charge to a tenant or purchaser, or that already come with rented or purchased space.
Building standards are usually determined by the building owner in conjunction with an architect or design professional.
Building Standards detail the type, quality, and color selection of design materials and finishes. Examples of building standards include tile, carpet, paint and wall coverings, base boards, counters, plumbing and lighting fixtures, and other materials needed to complete the design aspects of a finished space.
