The Buildings page gives Global Admins a single view of all buildings across every property in the account. Use it to review building structure, compare sizes, add new buildings, and export data for reporting or auditing. * * * # How it works ## Access the Buildings page 1. Go to **Settings.**  2. Select **Account** in the top-left toggle. 3. Navigate to **Account Structure → Buildings**.  The Account toggle confirms you're viewing account-level data. The selected portfolio or company appears at the top of the sidebar. * * * ## Read the buildings table Each row represents one building. The table includes the following columns: - **Property** — the property the building belongs to. - **Building** — the building name. - **Leasable Spaces** — ratio of occupied to total leasable spaces. - **Floors** — number of floors. - **Spaces** — total number of spaces. - **Sq M / Sq Ft** — total area (based on your account preferences). - **Address** — building address, if configured. The address is also used to determine which regional holidays apply to that property. * * * ## Search for a building Use the search bar at the top of the table to find a building by name. Results update as you type. This is useful when managing a large portfolio. * * * ## Add a building To add a new building to a property: 1. Click the **Add Building** button in the top-right corner of the Buildings page. 2. Fill in the building details (name, address, building Sq ft, and property). 3. Click **Create** to confirm. 💡 **Note:** Only Global Admins can add buildings from this page. To edit an existing building's details, navigate to the specific property in Settings. * * * ## Export building data 1. Click **Export** in the top-right corner. 2. Download the file to use in reports or external tools.  The export includes all visible table columns. It respects your permission scope — you only export buildings you have access to. * * * # Common scenarios **Reviewing portfolio structure** A Global Admin opens the Buildings page to see how buildings are distributed across properties. They compare floor counts and total area to identify outliers before a board review. **Auditing leasable space occupancy** An admin checks the Leasable Spaces column to identify buildings with low occupancy ratios ahead of a lease renewal cycle. **Exporting for external reporting** A property operations team exports the buildings list to populate a quarterly report in Excel, pulling address, area, and floor data in one step. **Adding a new building to a property** A Global Admin adds a newly constructed building to an existing property directly from the Buildings page, without needing to navigate into the property settings. * * * # FAQ **Who can access the Buildings page?** Only Global Admins can access this page. It is not available to property-level admins or team members. **Can I edit building details from this page?** You can add new buildings from this page. To edit an existing building's details (such as name, floors, or spaces), navigate to the specific property in Settings. **What does the Leasable Spaces column show?** It shows the ratio of occupied leasable spaces to the total number of leasable spaces in that building (for example, 8/10). **Does the area show in square meters or square feet?** It depends on your account preferences. The column header updates to reflect the unit configured for your account. **Can I filter buildings by property?** Currently, you can search by building name. To organise and filter your portfolio at a higher level, use the Regions feature under Global Settings to group properties — this makes it easier to manage large portfolios across multiple locations. **Why does the Address field matter?** The building address is used by the Holiday Engine to determine which regional holidays apply to that property. If a property has no address configured, holiday logic will not apply to it. * * * # Related articles - [User Roles and Permissions in Visitt](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/12442937-user-roles-and-permissions-in-visitt) - [My Property - Floors](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/10054955-my-property-floors) - [My Property - Spaces](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/10055528-my-property-spaces) * * * Related Articles - [How to Create and Manage Visitt Templates](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/9215888-how-to-create-and-manage-visitt-templates) - [My Property: Page Overview](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/9997072-my-property-page-overview) - [My Property Page - Team Members](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/10848778-my-property-page-team-members) - [Manage properties in Global Settings](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/15140151-manage-properties-in-global-settings) - [Global Categories](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/15545550-global-categories) Did this answer your question?
