Engineering Services

Trachte’s in-house engineering department specializes in creating custom designs and building solutions tailored to the specific demands of your market.

Site Planning

Effective site planning is essential for the success of any self-storage venture. Our engineers will devise a functional layout that optimizes land use while adhering to both national and local building regulations. Clients are required to provide essential details of code requirements including setback information.

Site Plan: Receive a preliminary design offering a basic overview of your proposed layout.
Stamped Plans: Obtain precise foundation and building plans, specific to your selected Trachte design, certified with an engineer’s seal for your state or province. The deposit for this plan varies. Note: Should your foundation and/or building require inspection post-construction, you will need to contract with a local engineer to conduct this service.

Custom Designs

Our engineering team can adapt any standard building design to meet your specific requirements, providing job-specific calculations and drawings, each sealed by a professional engineer registered in your area.

Code Compliance

Every design, whether standard or custom, complies with local (customer-informed), national, and international building codes:

Local: With details provided by you, including wind and snow load data, we ensure your project meets your area’s specific building standards.
National: Compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and all model codes like FBC, SBC, BOCA, etc.
International: CSA-A660-04 certified, our designs comply with the National Building Code (NBC) of Canada, applicable in all provinces except Ontario.

Licensed Engineers

Our team of professional engineers are licensed to seal plans and calculations across all 50 states.
