These light commercial structures are designed for the open, unsecured storage of building materials such as roofing rolls, bags of sand, cement, etc. Walls are usually either block or some type of metal or wood over the frame. Roof systems are either steel or wood, and the floors are concrete or asphalt. Some lighting will be found at better qualities.
For this occupancy, which may have one or more open sides, you should always enter the actual walled perimeter. If the shape option is used, the program calculates perimeter based on a three-sided structure.
Availability of Elevators by Area for this occupancy: No
Marshall Valuation Service sections: 17 and 47.
