Developing a self-storage facility involves numerous critical decisions that can significantly impact its long-term success. Beyond considerations like materials, components, site layout and unit mix, it’s essential to have a strategy for building technology into your project. Carefully integrating your tech tools and systems into the site from the very start will ultimately save you time and money while enhancing operational efficiency and the customer experience.
In this video seminar, John Bilton of Janus International Group explains the importance of timing your tech strategy and the logistics involved in accommodating it during the early phases of development. You’ll learn to create a solid infrastructure that prepares your facility for the future, schedule installations to avoid construction delays, prevent costly repairs and more.
