Starting a Self-Storage Business

Why Are Self-Storage Businesses Important?

The great recession initiated a trend of downsizing. As a result, homeowners who decided to downsize or were forced by circumstances needed a space to store their belongings. Storage units became the perfect solution. Today, many people prefer minimalist cozy homes, which occasionally means they have more items than space to put them. This makes a self-storage business a potentially profitable venture, particularly for those who opt for cost-effective building solutions like prefab steel buildings.

Review and Finalize the Design

We will send you a professional rendering of your building as well as preliminary drawings. You will also receive a list itemizing all materials. After your review, your building will go through the steps necessary to produce engineer-stamped drawings so that you can proceed to seek permits for the construction of the new building.

Approval

After all the previous steps are completed, you will sign to approve the building design. Your project coordinator will then submit the building design along with options and features agreed upon to the engineering department. They will then produce the final plans required to proceed to fabrication. All the plans are sent to you for final approval before fabrication can begin.

Fabrication

Our team will fabricate the design. We have the most experienced team in the industry that will make sure that the entire process is performed according to the highest quality standards and within time constraints.

Delivery

Make arrangements with our team for the delivery of your building. We recommend that you have the necessary equipment beforehand to unload the building and set it up. It also helps to anticipate obstacles that might hinder delivery, such as narrow roads.

Once your self-storage metal building is on-site, you can begin assembly and start your business.
