From Planning to Building: Overcome Choice Paralysis in Self-Storage

Developing a self storage facility is a journey filled with many important decisions, each playing a role in the success of your future business. From should I or shouldn’t I build, to site selection and facility design, the number of choices can be overwhelming. This experience, often referred to as choice paralysis, can halt progress and leave your project in limbo, costing you money. However, with MakoRabco's years of experience, and expertise in the self storage industry, you can navigate these choices confidently and keep your project on track. 

The Dilemma of Choice Paralysis in Self Storage Development 

Choice paralysis occurs when the sheer number of options available leads to indecision and inaction. In the context of self storage development, this can pop up in various stages, such as: 

  • Self Storage Site Selection: Choosing the right location is crucial, but with numerous factors to consider like demographics, competition, and accessibility, it can be intimidating. 
  • Self Storage Design and Layout: From unit sizes to building materials and site layout, the options are endless, and each decision impacts the functionality, appeal, and potential ROI of your self storage facility. 
  • Technology Integration: Deciding on management software, access control systems, security systems, and other tech integrations requires careful consideration.  
  • Choosing Self Storage Contractors: Selecting the right contractors to execute the construction of your facility is crucial. With so many contractors available, ensuring you choose a reliable, experienced team can be a major challenge.
