floor-area breakdown
I can't answer your question re. 'surface area statement', but if you have encountered the term, why not ?
OTOH, I CAN vouch for 'floor-area breakdown', even if in the example below the types of areas relate to functions rather than to usability (esp. headroom).

floorspace estimate (Oz / ind.)
Useful area rather than us(e)able in the first discussion entry that made me wonder what kind of *tech/engineering*-header rental contract this is: engineering workshop ('account'), residential, business or even - from my retail experience - retail for money exchange bureaus at airports in Europe.
Be wary of calling the décompte a (definitive) statement, unless the floor area is land-regd.

Example sentence:
Oz: TOTAL Estimate of Gross Floor Area sqm External Area Estimate for External Areas % = sqm
Oz: xyz has not committed to an amount of floorspace in the new build.

: Why does the floor area need to be registered before a breakdown can be produced? Wouldn't an estimate be "une estimation"?
