Raised Floor budget estimate
-
How much will it cost for raised floor project? The server room is 3 meters by 5 meters. I just need estimate for budget purposes.

this may not work in your area,.. but 15sqm is about 162sqf
looks like about a $2,000 range.

Thanks.

@gjacobse Does the estimator include the costs of routing cooling, etc?

Not likely -

Best option would be to get someone in to quote it out. I'm not a fan of raised floor systems I prefer overhead and if you have the space for a raised floor you often have the space to go overhead as well.

I have never dealt with a raised floor system, but I definitely don't want to crawl around if I can stand on a short step ladder instead. I had a very basic overhead ladder system installed in our server room and it is super easy to route new cables or pull old ones out.

It's, generally, significantly cheaper as well. Which should go a long way for this type of thing.

In a classroom setting having ethernet jacks and power in the floor might be a good idea. So you don't have polls coming down in the classroom from a drop-down ceiling. In a server room, I don't like the idea of having to get to those cables later on.

Agreed. Though a raised floor looks much nicer, it is going to be less convenient for any maintenance. Usually aesthetics doesn't go along with convenience in my experience.
