Methodology

How this calculator works

Creates a simple total-cost comparison between upgrading the current building and moving to a different facility.

Reconfiguration total = project cost. Relocation total = move and fit-out cost + incremental annual occupancy cost × years.

Use the result

Turn the number into a decision

Add disruption, duplicate rent, lease obligations, transportation-network effects, labor access, taxes, utilities, and strategic flexibility.

Use this result when facility, supply-chain, and engineering teams are comparing layouts, growth plans, expansion, or relocation options.

Run at least three scenarios—conservative, expected, and upside—so one optimistic assumption does not drive the project.
