CASE STUDY
Client: Ideal Self Storage
Service Type: Third-Party Management
The Challenge
With a large and growing portfolio, Ideal Self Storage faced a familiar challenge: how to maintain performance across multiple sites—each with its own unique footprint—while managing it all with a lean, dedicated team. The goal wasn’t just to keep up. It was to create consistency in return on investment across the board.
At the same time, internal operations needed a refresh. Without clearly defined responsibilities, some team members were unintentionally duplicating efforts. It was time for a structure that could support both day-to-day efficiency and long-term growth.
The Objectives
Channel the team’s loyalty and trust in ownership into stronger camaraderie
Streamline project execution and eliminate redundant workflows
Reinforce training across roles to ensure consistency and confidence
Build an operational framework that could scale with the portfolio
The Solution
JOULE implemented a spoke-and-wheel team structure to define responsibilities and reduce overlap. As roles became clearer, team members were able to focus on their strengths and trust that others were doing the same. We also followed up on previous trainings, filling in knowledge gaps and reinforcing expectations to ensure long-term consistency.
The result was a team that felt supported, aligned, and ready to grow—without compromising performance.
The Results
Increased ROI across the portfolio, with more consistent results between stores
Improved internal culture built on ownership, role clarity, and shared goals
Onboarded new properties without overextending the team
Scalable operations now in place to support ongoing growth

CASE STUDY
Client: Green Key
Service Type: Construction
The Challenge
Green Key is a fast-moving client with a statewide footprint—and construction needs that vary from basic renovations to ground-up expansions. Across the board, the expectation was clear: JOULE needed to deliver excellent quality of service and product while staying flexible enough to meet evolving timelines.
In Tyler, the team faced a unique expansion challenge. Green Key had acquired extra land adjacent to an existing facility and needed to add a new building. On paper, the project was straightforward. In execution, it came with hidden complications—from terrain to permitting—that had to be addressed without derailing the six-month timeline or blowing the budget.
The Objectives
Deliver multiple construction projects across Texas with consistency and care
Support Green Key’s timeline needs across a variety of site types
Navigate site-specific constraints and unforeseen municipal issues
Complete the Tyler expansion while protecting the owner’s budget and vision
The Solution
For the Tyler site, JOULE managed every stage of the expansion with hands-on coordination. Grading and drainage proved more difficult than expected due to the landscape, requiring precision to ensure proper runoff. When an incorrectly placed telephone pole threatened the original building layout, we worked directly with the electric company to get it moved and keep the project moving forward.
Additional curveballs came from the city—including last-minute changes to fire extinguisher placement requirements. This triggered an unexpected expense, which we resolved by collaborating with both the city and ownership to revise the layout and rebalance the budget—preserving the integrity of the expansion.
Across every Green Key project, our role has remained the same: deliver consistent results, navigate challenges quickly, and act as a true extension of the ownership team.
The Results
Multiple projects completed across Texas, including full-site expansions and renovations
Maintained trust and budget alignment through real-time issue resolution
JOULE continues to serve as a preferred construction partner for Green Key’s active portfolio
“The best part about working with JOULE was their hands-on involvement. They take ownership, offer smart guidance, and consistently follow through with attention to detail.”

CASE STUDY
Client: Pro Storage
Service Type: Construction + Management
The Challenge
When JOULE stepped in, Pro Storage of Temple had untapped potential. One of the three parcels—a large open parking area—had been left unmanaged and had fallen into disrepair. It wasn’t generating revenue and wasn’t drawing the long-term, reliable tenants the property was capable of supporting.
In Jacksonville, the focus was on converting an existing two-story structure into 60,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage. While the scope was clear, the project called for a tailored approach—not just to building standards and timeline, but to connecting with the local community.
The Objectives
Reposition the Temple property for stronger returns through site improvements and stabilized operations
Add rentable square footage without inflating cost or construction time
Complete the Jacksonville build-out ahead of schedule and within budget
Establish trust and visibility in a close-knit, small-town market
The Solution
In Temple, we began by transforming the unused parcel into 30,000 square feet of new portable units. A Joule team member was placed on-site, new policies were implemented, and we worked to attract higher-quality occupancy. These visible upgrades helped reset tenant expectations and maximize the property’s long-term potential.
In Jacksonville, JOULE Commercial handled the interior renovation from start to finish—completing it four months ahead of schedule. The project delivered 60,000 square feet of climate-controlled space and later expanded to include gated boat and RV parking. Budget targets were met, and strong relationships were built with local residents and businesses to increase community awareness.
The Results
Revenue at Pro Storage of Temple doubled since JOULE took over in July 2024
30,000 square feet of portable units added to a previously underutilized parcel
Jacksonville renovation completed four months early and on budget
Improved brand visibility and tenant stability through direct, local engagement
