The greatest advantage is, PEBs can be set up on site in just 5 to 8 weeks, conventional steel structures can take as much as 8 to 15 weeks. Plus, the unique techniques implemented for fabrication make it 20% lighter than regular steel designs. On top of it all, no welding or fabrication is required at the construction site; resulting in greater speed and efficiency.
The concept of Pre-Engineered Buildings was originally conceived during the second half of the last century in the United States. 70% of all single storey non-residential construction now utilizes Pre-Engineered Buildings. Applications range from small car parking sheds to 100m (+) wide clear span Aircraft hangers, high rise and multi-storied buildings. Almost every conceivable building use has been achieved using the Pre-Engineered Building approach. Factories, Warehouses, Workshops, Offices, Gas stations, Showrooms, Metro stations, Vehicle parking sheds, Schools, Indoor stadium roofs, Bridges, Railway platform shelters, Outdoor stadium canopies and many more use PEB in their making.
