The Pre Engineered Building is a metal enclosure building that includes a structural frame and standard roof and wall support which is factory made and is erected at the site. Pre-Engineered Building is a new manufacturing concept replacing traditional manufacturing. PEBs is seen as a breakthrough in the construction industry, resulting in less construction time, cost-effectiveness, high quality, low maintenance, consistent span. Pre-engineered buildings meet one of industry’s most critical criteria that is wide, column-free areas.
There has been a substantial rise in Pre Engineered buildings in recent years. Due to rapid construction developments and an increase in the need for quick-track construction in India.
They are cost-effective. A basic cost-saving example is the use of a standard seam roof. When compared to a membrane-style roof, savings can prove significant. Although, it is important to note cost savings of PEBs will be unique and dependent on the scope for each project. The use of sheeting can help further drive down cost but roofing is where the main cost advantages live with PEBs. Work with your architectural and construction firm to understand your local market and the conditions which may impact choice of a roofing system for your PEB.
They offer time savings. With materials and designs pre-chosen, erection of a facility can be much quicker and more efficient than a conventional building. In addition, finding a building firm which can self-perform erection can further shave off time.
They are versatile and offer architectural options. An architect or customer can choose from several wall panels adding to the versatility in design. PEB design options for roof systems and walls depend on the owner’s needs. A standard seam roof is the typical rooftop used in PEBs, but an architectural firm that specializes in PEBs can work with you to customize and match a vision which meets your needs. Pre-engineered doesn’t have to mean cookie-cutter or dull.
They are quality and durable structures. Because the PEBs are pre-fabricated in a controlled setting, durability and quality can be achieved. Pre-engineered roofs last longer than other roof systems if installed properly. The process and system of erecting PEB roofs involves clips attached to the main steel, which then connect to the roof. A machine seals the roof to the clips which allows it to expand and contract. This creates a durable roof which can outlast the harshest wind conditions. If you think back to fly-over videos from hurricane-devastated areas shown on the news in the past, the roofs which remain standing are typically metal roofs erected through this process.
They are low-maintenance. PEBs maintain their appearance throughout the life of the building due to the quality built into the process and the raw materials used. Steel is rust
