Who installs insulated metal panels (IMP) in Little Rock?
TCG self-performs IMP installation in Little Rock and across Central Arkansas, with more than 1,000,000 SF installed nationally. On climate-controlled self-storage, the IMP envelope holds the conditioned space, and keeping it in-house protects the schedule and cost per rentable foot.

In Little Rock, self-storage runs about $24 to $50 per net rentable SF for single-story drive-up, $48 to $80 for single-story climate, and $72 to $108 for multi-story climate, with conversions from $28 to $75. Arkansas's low costs help returns pencil. Run your scope through the TCG.ai estimator.

Self-Storage Built by the People Who Erect the Steel and Panels
Self-storage is a structure, envelope, and cost-per-rentable-foot problem. TCG self-performs pre-engineered metal building erection and insulated metal panel installation, so the scopes that set the schedule and the building cost stay in-house.
For Little Rock projects we deliver single-story drive-up, climate-controlled, and multi-story facilities, plus conversions. We coordinate the unit mix and partitions, climate control for the humid climate, security and access control, and a wind-rated envelope. We deliver design-build or as a general contractor from your engineer's set.

Self-Storage Construction in Arkansas
Growth suburbs: Conway, Benton, Bryant, Maumelle, and Sherwood continue to add households, driving demand for new self-storage across the Little Rock metro as people move and form households.
Humid climate: Humid Arkansas summers make climate-controlled storage a premium product for temperature and moisture sensitive goods. We size HVAC, dehumidification, and envelope accordingly.
Cost and labor: Little Rock runs about 0.82 to 0.92x the national average, and Arkansas right-to-work status and open-shop labor make self-storage among the most cost-competitive in the country to build.
Seismic and storms: The New Madrid seismic zone and severe storms drive structure and panel attachment, especially on taller storage buildings. We design the structure, envelope, and site together.
