JUNE 2022CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM 19supplies. What may be an upgrade through other companies come standard at Liberty. Most importantly, the company is known for their outstanding quality that can be attributed to the builders who are true craftsmen with years of experience. The builders construct the units in one of their manufacturing facilities and then are delivered directly to the customer's doorsteps, bringing speed and portability to the process. Knowing that customers will likely still go through their local permit approval process, Liberty has also taken measures to ensure the units have been certified with engineered stamped plans. This means that customers are getting a superb foundation and starting point for customers to then finish out the interior and landscaping as desired. One of the noteworthy takeaways of this construction model is the time taken to deliver the finished product to the customer. Weston Leibee, VP & General Manager of the company, says that they could deliver a customized unit in as little as four weeks. It they choose a building already in stock, delivery could be as little as a week. The modularity of this nature allowed one of Liberty Storage Solutions' clients to use their building as the foundation for a recreational facility. The client owned a property in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and wanted to build an Airbnb getaway. "They purchased one of our buildings, uniquely designed to accommodate 3-4 people, and installed it by a creek in the mountains. They took this unit and customized it by hiring a local carpenter to install mountain-style finishing woodwork and plumbing. With landscaping completed, it took just a couple of months to have this unit set up as the perfect mountain getaway for their Airbnb guests," explains Leibee. This story highlights the utility of Liberty Storage's buildings and emphasizes the modularity and customizability. It is fascinating to think this massive business was born from a hobby of founder, Bobby Eaton. In 2006, Eaton decided to take on a side hustle to kill time during the winter and rainy seasons. What started as a hobby for his family back then stands tall as a bedrock of quality and is still rooted in family traditions. While the company's niche is solving customers' storage and living space needs through innovative buildings, their purpose is bigger than that. Whether it is employees, customers, or even vendors, their purpose is to empower people through these relationships to live whole lives with excellence and fulfillment. They continue to impact the community as they head into further expansion. Leibee says that the company has procured unused industrial land in Mocksville to create even more employment for the community by enlarging its facility, thereby upholding its strong sense of community-driven prosperity.
