When Storage Construction uses local professionals on a project, it delivers big benefits to both

Storage Construction’s greatest level of success has come from combining the expertise of our staff with the experience of professionals that live and work in our project areas.  It is what has made us a national leader in the self-storage construction sector.

Leveraging this kind of local know-how on a construction project is a strategic choice that brings a host of advantages to both the project and to the community. Here are just a few examples:

Attorneys: An attorney who practices in the project area can help guide the project through the land use and zoning approvals. Having a familiar face and voice representing a project to local government can streamline the process.

Engineers: An engineer who is familiar with local procedures and personalities when presenting a plan to an approval board can save time, money, and headaches during that stage of the project.

Architects: An architect who knows local building codes can help navigate special design considerations, and translate how local codes are typically interpreted. For example, some jurisdictions have codes that are regionally modified versions of the International Builders Code.

Site Contractors: Local contractors bring an important understanding of the local geology, climate, and soil preparation, as well as a knowledge of locations where a project can export dirt to or import dirt from.

Local trades: Plumbers, electricians, concrete contractors, and other tradespeople bring a familiarity with local inspectors to the project, as well as an understanding of those inspectors’ expectations in a finished structure.  At the same time, those inspectors have a level of trust when it comes to local tradespeople that they might not have with outsiders.

Communication and travel: Using local personnel reduces travel time and transportation costs, which contributes to smoother coordination and more responsive communication throughout the project.

Employing local professionals not only has operational benefits but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Using local talent strengthens community ties, fosters goodwill, and supports the regional economy by keeping jobs and revenue close to home.

Making local professionals part of the full self-storage project team offers strategic and community-based value that can have a positive impact on a project’s success from start to finish.  For more information, contact us at (855) 588-4330 or info@storageconstruction.com
