• Pre-engineered buildings are modern adapted systems where the building’s structural members are manufactured at the factory and assembled at the site. When these buildings are built with great efficiency, they can be 30% lighter than conventional steel buildings.
  • Generally, Pre-engineered buildings are steel structures; these are built according to the structure’s exact requirement, such as its size, height, and width.
  • Then these built-up sections are transported to the site and assembled with bolted connections. This type of construction method is widely adopted in industrial buildings, warehouses, Metro Station.

Benefits of PEB Building

  • Quality Control – The quality of pre-engineered building materials is easy to manage as they are manufactured in a factory under controlled conditions. 
  • Low Maintenance –  The maintenance cost of pre-engineered buildings is significantly less, as they are manufactured with high-quality paint for steel and cladding.
  • Flexibility Of Expansion – The pre-engineered building has flexible expansion options, which means we can extend a building’s length, height, and width in the future.
  • Energy Efficient – These buildings can be customized with polyurethane insulated panels or fiberglass blankets to make them energy efficient.
  • Versatility – The pre-engineered building systems come in various types of fasciae, canopies, and metal wall panels, designed according to the requirement.
  • Require Less  –  Time To Construct

Difference Between Pre-Engineered Building & Conventional Steel Building

PropertiesPre-Engineered BuildingConventional Building
DesignAn easy and quick design, as these are framed sections and connection designs, and it is less time-consuming.The conventional building has to be designed from scratch with only fewer aids available to engineers.
Duration of ConstructionConstruction with a Pre-Engineered Building system usually takes 6 to 8 weeks.Construction by the conventional building method usually takes 20 to 26 weeks.
FoundationSimple and easy design and quick construction as they are lightweight.A large and heavy Foundation is required in a conventional building.
Seismic ResistanceIn Pre-engineered buildings, the lightweight frames offer higher resistance to seismic forces.Rigid Heavy frames in conventional building systems are less resistant to seismic forces.
Future ExpansionAny expansion in the future is very easy and simple.Here future expansion may cost you more and it is more tedious.
Erection Time and CostThe erection procedure in a pre-engineered building system is very quick, easy, and requires less equipment.In a Conventional building system, the time and the cost cannot be estimated accurately, but it is 20% more expensive than PEB’s. The process is very slow and more equipment is required.
Overall CostThe overall cost of the Pre-Engineered Building will be 30% lesser than the Conventional Building.The conventional building cost more
ArchitectureWith the help of standard design details, an outstanding architectural design can be achieved.Special design must be done for different projects, which results in high cost.
Structural WeightPre-engineered buildings are 30% lighter in weight than conventional buildings.In a conventional building, the structural members are heavier in weight.
