10 to 25 units
In a 10 to 25 unit building, the goal is not to overbuild. The goal is to create a simple, clean foundation that can support the entry, common-area WiFi, cameras, and the other connected systems without becoming messy later.
Typical profile
One main network room can often be enough, sometimes with a small secondary cabinet if a few areas are too far away. A common mistake is letting each new system attach itself to whatever already exists with no overall logic.
Even at this scale, the building still needs a clean base for intercom, access control, cameras, common-area WiFi, and future additions.

WiFi quality
A smaller building does not need heavy architecture, but it still needs clean infrastructure. Poorly placed or poorly powered access points create uneven WiFi even when the hardware itself is fine.
A clean base also makes future cameras, access control, new common areas, or added building systems much easier to support.
Compare
Needs change with the number of units, the floor count, the common spaces, and the system complexity.
When that foundation is planned properly, WiFi, cameras, intercom, access control, and the other building systems stay more stable, easier to expand, and simpler to manage together.

Short answers before the site visit or quote step.
Not always. It depends on the number of floors, the cable lengths, and the spaces that need to be served. Sometimes a small secondary cabinet avoids a lot of compromise.
Not in every case, but it can become logical when distances rise quickly or some zones are too far away for a clean copper-only layout.
Yes, but it is better to plan the cabling, PoE, and access-point locations now so later work does not cost more than it should.
