As the construction industry continues to evolve, many project managers and general contractors discover that they need quick, efficient storage solutions that meet the needs of their project. We outlined 5 growing trends in construction and the storage solutions that AT&S can provide to make each one seamless. Our team works with you to solve your storage issues quickly and make space for your business.

1. Rising Use of Modular and Prefabricated Construction

• Trend: Modular and prefabricated construction continues to grow due to speed and cost-efficiency. Entire sections (modules) of a building are constructed in a factory, typically complete with electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes. These modules are then transported to the site and assembled. Prefabricated components (individual parts) such as walls, floors, roofs, or frames are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site.
• The AT&S Solution: Companies need flexible storage for prefabricated components, especially solutions that are secure and spacious. In addition, project managers or general contractors need ground-level office spaces to conduct important business in a secure, functional space. Our large fleet of containers and ground-level offices makes finding the right solution easy.

2. Focus on Sustainable Practices

• Trend: Green building practices and eco-friendly materials are increasingly popular.
• The AT&S Solution: There is a growing demand for on-site storage of sustainable materials, which often require special conditions (e.g., temperature-controlled storage for certain composites). We’ll custom-design a storage solution to fit the exact specs of your project. 

3. Shift Toward Urban and Mixed-Use Development

• Trend: Urban construction projects grow, requiring compact and accessible solutions. Projects that combine residential and commercial spaces are becoming an increasingly popular part of urban and suburban planning. This trend reflects changing consumer preferences for convenience, walkability, and community-focused living, as well as shifting priorities in city design to maximize space efficiency and foster economic growth.
• The AT&S Solution: Smaller, portable storage units to fit limited spaces are critical in these developments. All sizes, to fit all spaces, we customize storage solutions to fit your needs. 

4. Prioritizing Safety and Compliance

• Trend: Heightened regulations around safety and material handling.
• The AT&S Solution: Secure, compliant storage for materials is vital. Materials should be protected 24/7 on the job site, which is why AT&S offers containers with enhanced safety features to give you the peace of mind you deserve. We conduct regular inspections to ensure the safety, quality and optimal conditions of our storage solutions.

5. Supply Chain Resilience

• Trend: Companies aim to avoid delays by pre-ordering materials in bulk.
• The AT&S Solution: Storage solutions play a critical role in maintaining a reliable supply chain. Thus, managers need affordable, reliable storage solutions that keep their materials safe and secure. AT&S offers a wide range of storage solutions that fit the specs of your equipment efficiently.
