Renew. Restore. Revive. There comes a point when all facilities will need a polish, shine, upgrade, or improvement. Keeping your facility up to date will allow you to stay competitive at a time when customers have a variety of self-storage choices. Renovation can reap a variety of benefits. Notably, renovating your facility will catch the discerning eye of customers while allowing you to reevaluate your rental fee structure and help to increase your property value.
Depending on the type of self-storage facility, renovations can be many, varied and unique. Some components of a facility that may need renovation include replacing the metal roof, replacing doors, reskinning hallways, enhancing technology, and repairing the asphalt on the property.
If you’re wondering where to begin, don’t take on this task alone. When it’s time to renovate, you will be well served to call upon an industry expert to evaluate your site from top to bottom and everything in between. In other words, from the entrance to exit. An experienced consultant will consider both the aesthetics and functionality of your facility and determine which components need upgrading and which need replacing.
Consider renovation: Stay relevant. Stay competitive. Stay in the game.
Smart Buildings
Smart Buildings use intelligent control systems that utilize smart, interconnected devices in order to improve aspects of a building’s efficiency. These technologies help the building run more smoothly, optimize cost, and even lower negative environmental impacts typically caused by traditional buildings. The technology in Smart Buildings can:
-
- Implement security
- Control temperature and humidity
- Monitor indoor occupancy
- Monitor for trash and water leaks
- Improve energy efficiency and sustainability
Many smart features can be extremely beneficial to self storage facilities. One feature is the installation of roll-up doors that can be operated by smart keyboards or even a customer’s smartphone. There are also a variety of tech and security products including smart cameras and thermostats that ensure the safety of one’s stored belongings more than ever before.
Existing buildings can be renovated with smart technology to optimize their performance. Renovations are an essential part of staying competitive in the self-storage industry, and renovating your building into a Smart Building that boasts better security, temperature regulation, and high-tech units will draw in customers and allow for higher rental rates.
