Working from home, but not in the home!

If you are fortunate to be able to work from home, make sure you create the best space for you to be as productive as possible.  A home office within your house might not be the best situation for accomplishing tasks.  A home office might seem appealing, but normal life within the home can sometimes cause distractions that take away from getting your workload completed, and it also may take away space that could be better utilized by you and your family.
 
A great alternative is to an in-home office is an at-home office built by Quality Storage Building that gets placed in your yard.  No morning or evening commutes.  Just a casual walk into your yard is all it will take to enter your new workspace.  Your comfortable, efficiently designed workspace will allow for maximum productivity.  Your home will be close if you need to take care of a family situation that arises, but not hinder you from getting your work done.  It is the best place to work.  Close to home but not in the house is a great choice for an efficient workspace or office.  
 
You can design your very own structure from Quality Storage Buildings, and it can have multiple applications.   For instance, you can select a larger building and section off your workspace to obtain the man cave, pool room, or reading room that you have always wanted.  Quality Storage Buildings offers interior wall framing, insulation options, and electrical packages to get you started on your new dream spaces.  Many design styles are available that will provide your best work from home area.  Look at the style gallery or try our 3D configurator to design a workspace that is best for you and the work that needs to be completed.
 
You will want to give some thought and planning to your building layout.  A good assortment of windows allows great natural light.  You will also need to give thought to what wall your desk will be placed on and the placement of your dry erase board, calendars, storage, and other office items that need wall space.  Entry doors can be solid for privacy or with windows to allow even more natural light.
 
If you have a season when the outdoor home office is not needed, it can easily be turned into a quiet get- away or a bunkhouse for visiting family and friends.  This provides your family and friends privacy and a nice place to stay when they are visiting with you.  
 
Home offices located inside an outdoor building is an efficient and affordable way to have an office at home.  With endless opportunities for usage, this building will be the highlight of your property.  When planned correctly and designed with intent, it just might be more popular than your home!
 
Please contact one of our sales consultants to find out how to design your home office.  Our design consultants can also help you design your building also.

Why do we charge for an on-site constructed building?

10/6/2020

Some customers have asked us why there is a charge to construct a building at their home as opposed to at our lot.  Typically, we build our buildings in Itasca, Texas in a thoughtfully designed and carefully laid out workshop.  All tools, materials, and manpower are known, visible, and ready at a moment’s notice.  No matter what is presented to the manufacturing shop for construction, everything necessary is easily accessible, ready, and available.  With this set up, we can construct anywhere from one to a dozen or more buildings simultaneously.  The number is dependent on the size of the orders released to production at that time.  Our fabricators are cross trained and can assist in work areas that need assistance to keep our production times efficient.  Our production is somewhat like an auto production line.  Materials start at one end of the building and out the other side is a finished building for our customer to enjoy!  After construction is completed, the finished building is inspected, and any flaws are corrected before the building is staged and stored for delivery.  Once the delivery department has the building scheduled with our customer, the building is delivered with precision at the customer’s exact location.   

Sometimes this is not possible.  Quite frequently, our customers have homes that do not allow for a truck and trailer to drive through their yard and deliver a building whole.  Often, homes are closely arranged and fenced in back yards are only accessible by going through the home or entering the yard within a 3’+ gate opening.  Unfortunately, we do not have or can obtain cranes, helicopters, or huge weightlifters to pick up and drop off buildings to specific remote, hard to access areas. 

To best serve these situations, we have employed a highly versatile crew that specializes in construction at your location. They are specially trained and outfitted with working tools to construct your building from the ground up.  Every single building material and tool are hand carried in and then tools and scraps are carried out at the end of the day.  This is a lot harder than constructing a building in our shop.  Keep in mind that this is usually done under Texas heat and weather conditions that cannot be controlled.

This special crew will manufacture the building in your yard.  They will need 3’ all around the building  for construction.  If you can supply electric, that would be appreciated and if not, we can supply our own power with generators. They will pay close attention not to damage your landscaping and surroundings while constructing.  The more space you can allow them, the faster and easier it will be to have the project completed.

Our buildings are high quality and our prices are low and affordable.  Other companies do not have the ability with specialized trucks and trailers to perform a regular delivery.  They, then, must have every shed built on-site.  Sometimes this is done by a 3rd party and the customer’s expected outcome is sometimes not achieved.
​
To avoid having your building constructed on site, you may consider taking a section of fencing out or being open to a different location that will allow for a standard delivery.  Sometimes, a customer will need an onsite build, but rest assured, that our total price is incredibly competitive compared to other shed builders’ total price and our excellent service is priceless.

Best Locations For Your Shed

7/21/2020

​When prepping your site, deciding on building placement is particularly important. Careful thought should be given to how your building would best be situated in your yard. 

First of all, you’ll want to be sure you are following local codes or HOA rules and regulations. Another consideration to keep in mind is the direction the prevailing winds generally flow, so you won’t have the doors blowing in on you when you are trying to enter and exit the building. The desired area should also be relatively level, and it should be away from heavily shaded areas, so it dries out quickly after rain storms. It would be a good idea to take a look around to see if there’s any over-reaching tree branches or broken limbs that need to be removed before they interfere with your building’s placement or create a falling hazard. 

The location you choose to place your new building in should also make its function more attainable. If it was intended for general storage, you might want it to place it close to the house, so you have a shorter distance to carry heavy objects. If your goal was to create a relaxing man cave or she-shed, you might want it a little further back to give you some much needed quiet or space. 

Your neighborhood situation may impact your decision as well. Strategic placement near a border may provide your yard with some welcome privacy, but keeping it away from a neighbor’s border may allow you to stay clear of noise you don’t want to be next to - especially if you’re going out to read, paint, or relax. Then again, it may be the other way around where your decision should be based on being a great neighbor yourself. If you’re using your structure for a workshop, placing it further from neighbors is a considerate plan and will help you to avoid noise complaints coming from tools such as saws or hammers.

Site preparation decisions are also key to great planning for your new Quality Storage Building. Our buildings are built just like a home, and just like your house, it’s vital to have a firm foundation. We will block and level each structure every 8’ under the 4”x6” pressure treated runners to assure that the building is level. This service is performed for free for each customer in their relatively flat and cleaned yard area. 

Another option is for you to place your building on a crushed stone base (square or rectangular, at least 12” wider than the building). The margin prevents mud from splashing up on your building when it rains, as the water will hit the stones not the soil. We recommend #2 Crusher Run Gravel, because it can be placed on top of the ground, it packs down like a concrete base, and allows next to no settling - properly draining water flow away from your building. You can keep the gravel from spreading into your yard by placing landscaping blocks around the edges or framing it within a 4”x4” or a 6”x6” pressure treated frame. The stone base also allows air flow under your building which is excellent for overall building soundness and siding longevity.

We’re hoping these points to ponder will help you decide on a great location for your new Quality Storage Building, so you can prevent any potential issues down the road and get the most use and enjoyment out of it for many years to come.
