Elevate Structures, a Central States company, proudly announces that its Alpha Framing System has again been named the winner of the Inside Self-Storage (ISS) 2025 Best in Business Award for Most Innovative Product. Elevate Structures and the Alpha Framing System were also named winners of this award in 2020.

This prestigious recognition underscores Alpha Framing’s transformative impact on the self-storage construction industry. Engineered for speed, precision and scalability, Alpha Framing has redefined how facilities are built – delivering cleaner, faster and stronger results across more than 450 projects nationwide.

“Alpha Framing was designed by builders to solve the real-world challenges of self-storage construction,” said Richard Allen, president at Elevate Structures. “This award validates the hard work of our employee-owners and the trust our partners place in us to deliver a system that performs in diverse climates, spaces and market conditions.”

With the ability for a single six-to-eight-person crew to install up to 15,000 square feet per week, Alpha Framing accelerates timelines, reduces labor costs and enables quicker revenue generation.

As a Central States company, Elevate Structures is vertically integrated and controls the entire supply chain – from steel production to on-site delivery – ensuring unmatched reliability and responsiveness. Elevate is 100% employee-owned; every Alpha project is powered by a regional service team personally invested in its success.

While originally developed for self-storage, Alpha Framing has been adopted in multifamily housing, hospitality developments, student housing and educational facilities proving its value across a wide range of construction sectors.

“This is just the beginning,” Allen added. “Thank you, ISS. We’re honored by this recognition and excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in framing innovation.”
