Until the 2020s, as a self-storage owner and developer of smaller projects (i.e., not large multi-story projects), I never used the design-build process many people apparently use to start a development project or even an expansion.

I also never started by going to an architect and/or engineer to design their project and create the building plans.

I never did that either.

Let me share our construction process with you.

This is critical in today’s environment of high construction and interest rate costs.
