> ## 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.

> # 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.
