Going Vertical in Self-Storage: Multi-Story Construction
Speaker: Caesar Wright, President, Mako Steel Inc.
Sometimes the best way to maximize land use is to build up rather than out. Multi-story self-storage construction has become more popular as developers seek out high-quality parcels in urban locations or attempt to minimize their land costs. In this session, our presenter will discuss how to best lay out a multi-story self-storage project while keeping the costs of construction in mind. He'll address architectural elements for buildings, placement for elevators and stairwells, and the overall possible advantages of building facilities with multiple stories.
You will learn:
- How to be efficient in your facility design
- The importance of "doing your homework"
- How to create a construction budget
- The do's and don'ts of multi-story construction
