Indoor Self Storage Units

[Jon Kelly]

BP Community, does anybody know of a company that creates indoor self-storage units for the owner to assemble? 

I purchased a commercial space and I'm planning to put in ~16 indoor self-storage units. I'm trying to find a company that makes self-storage units and then I can assemble them on-site. 

I'm curious to know the company, price and any other advice that others may have who have done this before.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, all three of the above can provide you with the kits.  I just did one from Janus and though they were a bit of a PIA to deal with, the price was right.  Roughly $7-8 per rentalble square foot.  That was the installed price.  But you should expect to pay a good bit more as there's an economy of scale that won't kick in for you at that price.  Your most cost effective option will be to just stick build the walls and then line the walls with 3' corrugated sheet metal.  I did that on a small 12 unit conversion and it worked quite well.  We had two units with traditional overhead doors and the rest were traditional walk through man doors.  Think my total cost was about $10 per square foot (including a furnace and duct work to heat the space).  I did all labor myself.
