Technological advancement in many sectors has led to feasibility and cost-effectiveness. Pre-engineered buildings (PEB) are one such revolution in the construction industry. The reason behind the wave of PEB is not only economical but eco-friendly as well. Read ahead for a detailed insight into the concept and possible future.
What are Pre-engineered Buildings?
Pre-engineered steel buildings are a complete set of steel projects consisting of factory-fabricated columns and beams, transported to the site in completely knocked down condition, and erected by bolting together.
PEB concept includes diverse applicants in every walk of life such as industrial buildings, supermarkets, showrooms, schools, indoor & outdoor stadiums, high-rise buildings, metro stations, bus terminals, etc.
Future of Pre-engineered buildings:
The potential of pre-engineered buildings is vast in many contexts. Considering the onset of technological advancement, enabling 3d modelling projects accelerates the PEB’s trend. Many business communities have already started to understand the scope of PEB. The reasons that make the concept a new trend in construction industries are mentioned below.
The construction time of conventional buildings is 6 to 8 weeks after drawings approval, whereas PEB can reduce it by at least 30%. Significant savings in design, manufacturing, and erection cost can be observed because of the systems approach makes PEB economical.
Expansion in terms of height and width is possible with pre-engineered buildings as predesigns are made for the future. Steel buildings are fabricated in factories under controlled conditions, therefore, grantees quality assurance.
High-quality paint systems and steel suiting the surrounding conditions of the site reduces maintenance cost and extends durability. The fact that steel is the requirement for PEB, which is infinitely recyclable, makes the concept supporting sustainable development.
Pre-engineered steel structures are economical, durable, flexible, and qualitative. Conclusively, pre-engineered buildings have a promising future if brought into the big picture and overcomes obstacle.
