High unit counts, one consistent standard.
Unit-type documentation, turnover capture and measured building records across a portfolio — priced by volume rather than by the door.
The volume problem
A hundred units is not a hundred jobs. Capture one walkthrough per floor plan type and reuse it across every vacancy of that type for the life of the asset. The marginal cost of the second identical unit is close to zero, and your pricing should reflect that.
What it is used for
- Unit-type marketing walkthroughs, reused across every listing
- Move-in and move-out condition records
- Measured building plans for capital projects and TI bidding
- Insurance and lender documentation
- Common area, amenity and site capture
Volume tiers to 20% below single-building rates. Turnover programs quoted per unit on a committed schedule.
Do you price per unit or per property?
Per program. Tell us the unit count and floor plan types, and we will quote the whole thing.
Can you do turnover documentation at scale?
Yes, on a committed schedule with a guaranteed turnaround window. That is where volume pricing applies.
Does this integrate with our property management software?
We deliver files in standard formats. Whether your PM platform ingests them is worth checking before you scope.
The rent roll is a claim. The building is the evidence.
Self-storage and multifamily assets are valued off unit mix and unit count. Both of those live in a management system, and the management system inherited them from a spreadsheet that inherited them from the original drawings. Nobody re-measures. Which is why the single most useful thing a measured capture does on these assets is reconcile what is leased against what was built.
Conversions, subdivisions, climate-controlled build-outs, offices turned into units, units turned into storage for the office — all of it happens, and none of it updates the rent roll's square footage column.
Where it earns its cost
Acquisition diligence
Verify the unit mix and the measured area behind the income assumption before it becomes your income assumption. On a portfolio deal this is cheap relative to what it protects, and it is one of the few diligence items that produces an asset you keep using after closing.
Portfolio standardization
Twelve facilities documented to one standard, so the asset management team is comparing like with like instead of reconciling twelve differently-drawn plan sets.
Multifamily turn documentation
Condition at move-in and move-out, captured in minutes per unit, dated, with dimensions attached. Deposit disputes stop being one person's word.
Leasing and remote touring
A walkthrough of each unit type — not each unit — that a prospect can tour at eleven at night, which is when people actually shop for storage.
Unit types, not units
A 600-unit facility does not need 600 captures. It needs one of each distinct size and configuration, plus the common areas, corridors, loading and office. That is typically eight to fifteen captures and turns a project that sounds enormous into one or two days on site. The measured building plan covers the rest — every unit's footprint is in the floor plan whether or not its interior was captured.
Volume economics
This vertical is where the published volume discount actually matters. Three or more buildings in one engagement takes 10% off, six or more 15%, sixteen or more 20% — and because portfolio work is scheduled as one trip, mobilization is charged once rather than per site. A twelve-property portfolio is materially cheaper per building than one property done twelve times, and we would rather you knew that before you scoped it building by building.
What does a single facility cost?
A typical 50,000 ft² single-story self-storage facility with measured plans and a walkthrough runs around $19,000 at list, before volume discount. Multifamily is priced the same way, off gross building area rather than unit count.
Do you need access to occupied units?
No. We capture unit types using vacant units, plus all common and back-of-house areas. The measured plan covers occupied units from the exterior geometry.
Can this be done during due diligence timelines?
Usually. Standard turnaround is 48–72 hours after capture; under 48 hours is +35% and under 24 is +50%, both published. Tell us the closing date at scoping.
What we actually deliver here
The services this work is usually scoped as: BOMA rentable square footage, measured square footage and what an as-built costs. Everything comes off one capture of the building, and all of it is priced publicly — you can price your own project without talking to us first.
