Let's work together
Washington Self Storage Builders
Self-storage construction is more demanding than it looks. A successful facility requires precise structural coordination, efficient unit layout planning, code-compliant fire and life safety systems, durable exterior materials, and — for multi-story projects — the engineering know-how to build vertically without sacrificing efficiency or cost control.
Sea Con has the experience, the resources, and the licensed personnel to manage every phase of your self-storage construction project. We work directly with owners, investors, and developers to deliver facilities that open on time, perform operationally from day one, and hold their value for decades.
Whether you’re breaking ground on your first self-storage facility or expanding an existing one, Sea Con is built for this.
Full-service self-storage construction from site evaluation through final turnover.

Insulated envelopes, HVAC coordination, and vapor management for temperature-sensitive facilities.
A structured, transparent process from first conversation to final walk-through.
How We Build Your Self-Storage Facility
Self-storage development involves a lot of moving parts — and the difference between a smooth project and a costly one often comes down to how early you get the right contractor involved. Sea Con engages at the earliest stages so that feasibility, site constraints, structural options, and budget expectations are aligned before a single dollar is committed to design.
01
Pre-Construction & Feasibility
We start by understanding your project: site conditions, facility type, unit mix goals, phasing requirements, and budget parameters. Our team conducts site evaluations, provides preliminary construction budgets, and evaluates structural system options — including PEMB, hybrid, and conventional construction — so you can make an informed decision before committing to a design direction.
02
Design Coordination & Permitting
Sea Con manages the design team through schematic design, construction documents, and permit submission. We act as the owner’s advocate throughout this process — flagging constructability issues early, driving value engineering opportunities, and keeping the design aligned with your budget and operational goals. Our familiarity with Washington permitting agencies helps keep projects on schedule through the approval process.
03
Construction
Once permits are in hand, Sea Con manages the full construction process — self-performing key scopes where appropriate and overseeing a vetted network of specialty subcontractors. Our project management team maintains detailed schedules, tracks budgets in real time, enforces safety protocols, and communicates proactively so there are no surprises at closeout.
04
Turnover & Post-Construction Support
We don’t disappear at the finish line. Sea Con provides complete project closeout documentation, coordinates final inspections and certificate of occupancy, and remains available for post-construction support as your facility opens and begins operations.
Built for Multi-Story.
Ready for Any Project.
Most regional general contractors can build a row of single-story drive-up units. Multi-story self-storage construction is a different challenge entirely — and it’s where SEA CON separates itself from the field.
Multi-story self-storage facilities require structural engineering coordination, vertical construction sequencing, elevator shaft and equipment integration, interior corridor planning, and a contractor with the skilled workforce and insurance coverage to execute safely and efficiently at height. Many contractors in the Pacific Northwest simply aren’t equipped for it. Sea Con is.
We’ve built multi-story commercial buildings and complex structural projects throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Our team understands how to manage the additional coordination layers that come with multi-story self-storage — from podium-level parking and retail to upper-floor climate-controlled units — and we bring that experience to every project we take on.
Sea Con Construction’s commitment to excellence was on full display throughout their work on the new hangars and FBO facility for Modern Aviation. From the start, their team demonstrated unmatched professionalism, bringing in-depth expertise to every phase of construction. The result is a state-of-the-art facility that perfectly meets our needs. Sea Con’s attention to detail and dedication to quality exceeded our expectations, delivering the project on time and within budget. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and look forward to partnering with them on future developments. Highly recommended!
