BEAM Space is your personal storage concierge. With the BEAM Space mobile app, you can now view, manage, and retrieve your items in storage with just a few taps on your mobile devices.

We make storage affordable and provide transparent, standardized costings for storage by item basis or storage by space, all inclusive of insurance. We offer pickup and delivery to your doorstep, at a time convenient to you. BEAM helps you track and manage your belongings so you can enjoy a clutter-free home and office.

Corporate customers who lack storage space, have a need to keep track of inventory, or simply just don’t have the time to stress over storage and transportation, should only have to deal with one vendor - BEAM! The itemized inventory in the mobile app means you’ll always know what you have in storage, and never have to purchase duplicates. Our BEAM Concierge picks up your items from your office, and sends it back to you when you need it, or send it right to your branches and customer premises.

Home customers planning for a house renovation, or simply need to declutter and make space can now do so, since storage no longer costs a fortune! No matter how small or large your requirements are, BEAM Space's per-item basis or storage by space solution ensures that you’ll never have to spend more than necessary. You don't even have to visit a warehouse. Our BEAM Concierge picks up your items from your doorstep, and stores it in our secured warehouse facility. Whenever you need your items back, our BEAM Concierge sends it right back to your doorstep.

Unlike traditional storage providers, BEAM Space requires NO DEPOSITS! You only have to pay for what you store, nothing more.

There is no minimum storage period. You can store with BEAM Space for as long (or as short) as you want. Charges are done on a monthly basis to the payment card on file.

BEAM Space provides insurance coverage of up to $100 per box/item storage or up to $500 for space storage.

We do not encourage storage of high value items. If you would like to store anyway, please inform us ahead of time. We also encourage you to take up additional insurance from your providers, or we can help you arrange accordingly.

BEAM Space's Concierge storage is designed to make storage simpler and easier. With the BEAM Space mobile app, you can easily store items from your home or office by scheduling for pickups and deliveries, and view your stored items in your mobile devices. There is no need to visit a warehouse.

We store everyone's items together in an unmarked warehouse, so we do not encourage visitors for security purposes. Commercial customers may schedule pickups and deliveries by appointment (handling fees may apply).

We also have partner warehouses located across the country which allow self-storage. Please check with us here for such requirements.

The exact location of our facility is undisclosed due to security purposes. Our secure facility is intentionally left unmarked and public access to it is prohibited to ensure the highest level of security for the items stored with us.

  • 4 hour turnaround for pickups and deliveries (subject to availability).

Storage


  1. When you have a few items or boxes below 15kg each
  2. When you plan on reducing the number of items stored over time (eg. if you're an e-commerce business with fast moving stocks or if you're clearing off your items) - as the number of your items decrease, this cuts the cost of storage
  3. When you want to individually track all your items

If you plan on having the items delivered to a different address from the pickup address, below a period of 6 months, please upgrade your account to the VIP/Corporate account to avoid the mover's fee of $150. Benefits include:

  • 4 hour turnaround for pickups and deliveries (subject to availability).
  • Multiple addresses supported. No mover's fee of $150 incurred when changing addresses.
  • Priority pickup/delivery time slots
  • Specific timing requests
  • Dedicated account manager

We encourage you to select storage by space if your requirements are as follow:

  1. When you have many odd-sized and large items above 15kgs which cannot fit into one van load
  2. When you do not need to track your items individually

If you're not sure how much space you need, do send over images and dimensions of the items for storage here and we'll do an estimate. On entry into our warehouse, if you’re storing additional items, we'll just charge you based on an additional blocks of 15sf of space or the next step-up in space allocation or per additional item, whichever is cheaper.

Please note that individual photo item tracking is not available for storage by space, but our concierge is able to help you locate your specific inventory on instruction. Each item is still tracked individually.

Yes, BEAM Space provides Large carton boxes at $4 each, with delivery at $16/trip. If you can pack within 15 minutes, we'll waive the delivery fee for the boxes.

However, we strongly encourage you to use your own boxes so you can take your own time to pack and optimize the space. In our effort to reduce our carbon footprint, BEAM Space encourages all users to reuse carton boxes or any other boxes you have access to. The boxes do not have to be a specific size. Alternatively, you can also store items in luggage bags, which falls under the odd-sized item category for storage. The charges for storage will be based on the dimensions of the box, as specified in our pricing page. Weight is limited to 15kg for any one box, so you do not injure our concierge during pickup.

BEAM Space recommends you to schedule a pickup or delivery 48 hours in advance. However, if you have already planned out your packing schedule, you can actually schedule a pickup or delivery up to 2 week in advance.

Scheduling as early in advance as possible gives you a higher chance of securing the exact time slot that is convenient for you. The availability of the time slots are on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Should you require an urgent pickup or delivery, please note that there will be an Urgent Pickup/Delivery fee of $100 (or the cost of chartered transportation)
