How Much Space Does Your Business Need?

Startup / Small Office (5–10 people)

Typically 50–150 cft. Covers workstations, chairs, document boxes, and IT equipment from one small floor.

Mid-size Office (10–50 people)

Usually 150–400 cft. Includes server racks, filing cabinets, multiple workstations, and archive boxes.

Retail Store Clearance

Ranges from 200–600 cft depending on shelving, display units, back-office furniture, and seasonal stock.

Document Archive (50–500 boxes)

At 1.5 cft per box: 50 boxes = 75 cft | 200 boxes = 300 cft | 500 boxes = 750 cft. Use per-item pricing for best value.

IT Hardware / Data Centre Clearance

Server racks, UPS units, and networking gear add up fast. A typical mid-size server room clearance = 200–500 cft.

Office Relocation Buffer

During office moves, businesses need 30–60 days of interim storage. Calculate the full office cft and add 20% buffer.
