Best Storage Options for Builders on a Budget

 

When it comes to storage, Builders know that details make the difference. In today’s competitive market, Homebuyers expect more built-in functionality, even at entry-level price points. That’s where Organized Living comes in. We partner with Builders across the country to provide high-quality, budget-conscious closet systems that help homes stand out, without driving up construction costs. 

Closet systems shouldn’t be an afterthought. They’re a key selling feature — and with the right solution, they can even become a profit center. Our Closet Selector® software makes it easy to offer standard closet systems throughout the home, with upgrade options available upon request. It’s a seamless way to boost customer satisfaction while generating additional revenue. 

Top Builder Storage Solutions for Budget-Conscious Communities 

For Builders looking to maximize value and minimize spend, Organized Living offers two standard options: Lifetime ventilated wire shelving and VUE® fixed wood shelving. Both systems are durable, efficient, and easy to install, helping you keep your build timelines on track and impress your buyers. 

Lifetime – Standard Fixed Wire Shelving

Lifetime is the strongest fixed wire shelving system on the market, making it a standout choice for high-volume Builders who want performance without the premium price. 

Why Builders Choose Lifetime Wire Shelving: 

  • Industry's strongest hardware to meet load capacity needs required by the market.  

  • 30% more steel than other ventilated wire systems to support 75 lbs per foot of shelving.  

  • No blocking required! Installs 100% after paint and does not disrupt other trades.  

  • Green features may help capture LEED points.  

  • Virtually indestructible epoxy powder coating to resist chipping, cracking, discoloration, and peeling. 

  • Made in the USA.  

VUE – Refined Fixed Wood Shelving

VUE brings a solid-shelf aesthetic to fixed storage, offering a clean, streamlined look at a fraction of the cost of custom systems. Whether used as a standard option or a low-cost upgrade, VUE is the perfect step up for Homebuyers who prefer solid shelving over wire. 

What Makes VUE the Smart Fixed Wood Solution: 

  • Engineered with fewer parts and pieces for speedy installation.  

  • Appeals to customers who prefer a solid shelf solution over fixed wire shelving and does not require adjustability.  

  • VUE supports 85 lbs per foot of shelving, more than any other fixed wood solution available.
