- Should I build metal, concrete or wood? What kind of foundation do I need? What type of roof? Our construction webinar will review the various types of construction methods and their pros and cons. We’ll talk about how building and fire codes impact your project, and share ideas to maximize the ROI of your next project.

I learned a lot from Jamie's webinars years ago when I started self-storage site planning. I'm very happy to see that he has been updating them.
This was very helpful. Hope to attend upcoming seminar here in Dallas. Texans love to make money!
Glad it was helpful!
What's a good self-storage deal?
Underwriting example?
Are solar-powered systems worth it?
A breakeven point under 70% occupied when using 70 to 80% financing is a good sign. Solar is not a part of most projects but some owners have had very good results with it. Your local utility programs will have a lot to do with whether or not solar is a good idea.
Jamie - We are currently applying for a SUP and are in contact with Jeff Bouchard on our potential project in New Mexico and wonder what "triggers" the need for adding a sprinkler system.
Hi Mike, sprinklers are rare in single story self-storage in most parts of the country. Most code will allow up to a 12,000 sq ft fire area, however there are some exceptions. In large multi story projects, you'll have sprinklers.
Thanks -- really appreciate all of the good information that you make available through your videos.
Regarding putting the building on a 1% grade, do you mean the entire slabs pitches 1% in one direction? Or putting a high point in the middle and pitching 1% each way?
Usually the building will all pitch in one direction, but we can plan it to have a break/filler in the middle and shed water in two directions.
What's the least expensive per sqft option with climate control, diy or contracting out 🤔. Determining whether to buy existing or build.
To drive down per sq ft cost, build in a state with minimal energy code requirements, and build a large squarish building with minimal entrances to the halls and no architectural features. Ok, that sounds pretty bland though, doesn't it? So, most sites will have some nicer features facing the road, and you have to build to whatever your local code requires for insulation. Do you want to chase low cost or do you want to chase maximum profits? They are NOT the same thing. You'll tend to have better results building a nicer facility in a location where rates (and land cost) are higher, even though that costs more to build. At the moment most developers would probably spend around $80 per sq ft for everything excluding land when developing a climate controlled property.
Jaime, Im getting ready to put 6.19 acres under contract and my question is regarding developing on irregular shaped land
This specific property is shaped like a triangle.
From a rule of of thumb standpoint. Is this a deal killer??
Thanks In advance
You'll get the best coverage with a rectangle but any shape can be made to work. Don't let the irregular shape worry you too much - self storage can usually adapt more than other real estate development, and take advantage of irregular parcels that may present a good value.
