1. Cut Excavation & Site Preparation Costs

Excavation is one of the most underestimated — and expensive — aspects of traditional parking. Multi-level garages require:

• Deep pits and massive foundations
• Extensive soil removal and retaining walls
• Complex waterproofing and grading
• Lengthy inspection timelines

APS changes the game.

Our modular, compact systems reduce the need for deep excavation. Many can be built entirely above ground or with shallow pits, drastically cutting:

• Soil removal
• Equipment needs
• Labor and inspection delays

– Up to 40% savings on excavation in challenging urban sites.

2. Reduce Structural & Material Costs

Steel and concrete are among the most expensive components in any structure. Traditional parking requires:

• Long drive aisles and turning space
• Ramps and vertical circulation cores
• Heavy structural framing for non-revenue-generating space

APS = Smarter Building

Our systems eliminate:

• Ramps
• Stairwells and elevators dedicated to the garage
• Wide vehicle access corridors

Cars are stacked or shuttled into optimized configurations, cutting your material usage by 30–50%, depending on the site.

Bonus: That saved space? You can repurpose it into units, amenities, retail frontage, or green areas that drive long-term revenue.

3. Accelerate Your Timeline

Every week saved in construction is a week closer to ROI.

Traditional garages delay vertical work due to:

• Concrete ramp curing
• Sequencing issues
• Complex structural pours

 APS speeds up the process.

Pre-engineered and quick to install, our systems allow your team to begin building sooner. Many developers report 4–8 weeks saved in overall construction time.

That’s faster delivery, lower overhead, and quicker lease-up or sale.

Bonus: Unlock Urban Incentives

Cities love smart parking. Choosing APS may help you qualify for:

• Density bonuses
• Reduced parking minimums
• Expedited approvals
• LEED and green building credits

APS doesn’t just save — it opens doors to greater entitlements and long-term project value.

Real Example: From Theory to Results

Project: 6-story urban multifamily

Traditional Parking Estimate:

• Excavation: $800,000
• Concrete + Ramps: $1.2M
• Total: $2M

APS Solution:

• Excavation: $400,000
• APS System: $950,000
• Total: $1.35M

– Savings: $650,000

 Bonus: Reclaimed 2,500 sq. ft. used for a café = $3,500/month lease income
