Real Estate Planning

Before a project is initiated, we perform various assessments and analysis to ensure we are setting the project up for success. This includes:

• Site evaluation and feasibility analysis 
• Transportation, traffic, and utilities availability and needs assessment 
• Preliminary cost estimates 
• Local on-site and off-site project requirements 
• Entitlements, permits, and zoning specifics 
• Environmental, geotechnical, wetlands, archeological, endangered species, and site engineering details 
• Pre-lease and post-lease Property Condition Assessments (PCAs)  

Pre-Construction and Facility Design Management

Whether a brownfield or greenfield site, before any construction takes place, our team thoroughly reviews the site and building design. Once finalized, they:

• Manage permits and entitlements 
• Review project specific requirements and procedures 
• Coordinate pre-construction meetings 
• Review progress drawings 
• Track critical path milestones against schedule and budget 
• Manage tender and contract award process 
• Complete the LEED application and plan review

Projects Delivered on Time

To ensure your facility can start shipping products on time, all project elements must work together. Manufacturing, delivery, installation, and other project tasks can have complex dependencies, and a delay in any component can result in project delays and potentially costly downtime for a distribution center.

Our project managers have overseen hundreds of build-outs, installations, integrations, and relocations, and they know how to keep each component in place and delivered on time. We do all of this, so you don’t have to worry about missing any deadlines.

Projects Delivered on Budget

Because Storage Solutions takes an integrated supply and service approach with every warehouse project we contract, your Storage Solutions project manager has tighter control over ensuring you meet your budget.

From logistics to permitting, all the way through installation and support, our project managers provide oversight for each component of your project. By executing entire projects as one team, Storage Solutions can offer efficiencies that generate better prices, with fewer change orders and fewer surprises along the way.

We Assume the Unexpected
