MakoRabco in Carlsbad holds CSLB Structural Steel license #1075301 and has designed, supplied, and installed steel-frame self-storage buildings nationwide since the firm's 1993 founding on El Camino Real. Self-storage facility development begins at the design phase, where architects and engineering firms such as Deborah Shewaga Architect produce site plans that MakoRabco's structural team translates into fabrication drawings for single-story, multi-story, and boat/RV storage configurations. The company has completed construction on more than 4,000 storage facilities across all 50 states, earning the Inside Self Storage Best Builder designation for five consecutive years. Commercial property developers carry builder's risk and general liability policies throughout construction, the category of coverage that agencies such as Hayek Insurance write for Carlsbad-based commercial projects. Multi-story climate-controlled storage structures use pre-engineered clear-span steel framing with column-free interior bays exceeding 40 feet, allowing maximum unit-count density without intermediate load-bearing walls.
