A site plan can make or break a business. It is a drawing of your property showing the property lines and any structures that currently exist on the land and where your proposed addition is to be located. To shape the maximum income-generating square footage possible within the restraints of the natural contours of the property, drainage considerations, parking, driveway, turn-around capabilities, and allowing for the glut of jurisdictional requirements, ...in short, self storage site planning should not be left to beginners.

Twenty-plus years designing self storage has propel NDS Construction to the head of the pack. We know what works.

A self storage building is designed like no other building of any kind. Issues of space, material efficiency, energy efficiency, the economy of maintenance, tenant accessibility, security...dozens of considerations that have been tested and refined for decades, make the NDS design, architectural, and engineering staff light years ahead of the rest. There is no other way to say it; don’t let an architect or engineer without years of self storage experience design your facility. Don’t try to re-invent the wheel. We know what works!

To get everything you need to operate a successful business; nothing more and nothing less. That’s value engineering.

There are materials and components available that do not add to the aesthetics, structural integrity, or the ease of construction. In fact, they may actually increase labor costs. On the other hand, there are design and material shortcuts that can reduce costs initially, but in the long run, create maintenance, operational, or access issues generating additional operating costs and deterring rentals.

To get everything you need to operate a successful business; nothing more and nothing less. That’s value engineering. At NDS, we build businesses, not just buildings.

Every governing authority enacts ordinances to regulate construction, maintenance, and remodeling so that the buildings in which we live, work, and play will be safe. The presiding agencies use permits to make sure that the work is done in compliance with those ordinances.

There are a number of excellent commercial general contractors out there. They’ve earned their reputations by knowing what they’re doing. If they have not completed numerous successful self storages facilities, they do not know what they’re doing in this specific discipline. You probably don’t want your facility to be the project that they learn on.

A general contractor is hired to oversee every aspect of your construction project and relies on the abilities and the integrity of his subcontractors to bring your project to fruition. Choosing the right subs, the right materials and the right crews is a product of experience in the right field. Depend on the team that the self storage industry has trusted for over two decades. Depend on NDS.

NDS selects the best suppliers, negotiates terms, conditions and contracts, ensures goods and services are acceptable, deals with disputes, negotiates changes when necessary, ensures that the vendor or sub contractor is paid in accordance with the agreement and manages the working relationship...for over 20 years.

Inspections are required by state law and by city ordinance for any work that requires a permit. Inspections make sure that your project meets safety requirements, complies with state law and city codes, and follows the approved plan.

What is your strategy to grow your business to its ultimate potential? The next phase? Or a colossal overhaul? NDS can take you there; we can design it, we can build it. Building businesses is what we do.
