Raising the Roof: Turning Concrete Pads into Storage Buildings

In this episode of "The Good, Bad & the Ugly of Self Storage," hosts Michael and Dylan Cunningham discuss the exciting phase of erecting buildings in a self-storage development. They highlight the importance of organizing materials efficiently, using a forklift or reach lift, and planning the layout to avoid moving materials twice. They detail the construction process, including the use of Cornerstone metal buildings, the benefits of a standing seam roof, and the necessity of gutters for proper drainage. The project, covering nearly 80,000 square feet, employs three teams of two, with one dedicated to insulation and roofing and the other two teams focussing on the ground work. Challenges include weather conditions and the need for precise measurements to avoid costly mistakes.
