FAQ's
Frequently asked questions
Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) are factory-made structures assembled on-site, offering precision, high quality, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and customization in construction.
Design and Engineering:
Designed using advanced software for optimized structure based on project needs.
Detailed blueprints and structural drawings guide manufacturing and assembly.
Components:
Primary Framing: Rigid steel frames forming the building's skeleton.
Secondary Framing: Purlins, girts, and eave struts for additional support and cladding attachment.
Cladding: Exterior skin made from various materials for aesthetics and functionality.
Roof and Wall Systems: Insulated and weatherproofed for energy efficiency and durability.
Advantages:
Cost-Effectiveness:
Economical due to standardized design, material efficiency, and reduced labor costs.
Minimizes waste and allows bulk purchasing of materials.
Speed of Construction:
Factory-manufactured components shorten on-site construction time.
Ideal for projects with tight deadlines.
Flexibility and Customization:
Customizable for various applications, easy expansion or modification.
Suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential structures.
Quality Control:
Factory conditions ensure high quality and consistency.
Better structural integrity and durability.
Sustainability:
Efficient material use and recycling potential for steel components.
Enhanced energy efficiency with insulated panels and sustainable practices.
Construction Time:
RCC: Slower due to curing time and multiple construction stages.
Steel: Faster with prefabricated components assembled on-site.
Cost:
RCC: Lower initial cost, higher long-term maintenance.
Steel: Higher initial cost, lower long-term maintenance with scrap value.
Durability and Maintenance:
RCC: Durable but prone to cracking; higher maintenance.
Steel: Durable and flexible; lower maintenance with corrosion protection.
Structural Properties and Design Flexibility:
RCC: Excellent compressive strength; less flexible for modifications.
Steel: High strength-to-weight ratio; highly flexible for design changes.
Environmental Impact:
RCC: Higher impact due to cement production; can be made more sustainable.
Steel: Energy-intensive but 100% recyclable; promotes sustainability.
Applications:
Steel: Preferred for commercial, industrial, and high-rise structures; suitable for large spans and quick construction.
Design and Engineering:
PEBs: Standardized design, factory-fabricated components for consistent quality.
Conventional Steel: Custom-designed for each project, on-site fabrication with more complexity.
Construction Time:
PEBs: Faster erection due to prefabricated components.
Conventional Steel: Longer due to on-site fabrication and labor intensity.
Cost:
PEBs: More cost-effective with standardized design and bulk material purchasing.
Conventional Steel: More expensive with custom design and longer construction.
Flexibility and Customization:
PEBs: Flexible within standardized limits, easier future modifications.
Conventional Steel: Unlimited design possibilities, ideal for unique architectural features.
Quality and Durability:
PEBs: Consistent factory quality and durability.
Conventional Steel: Quality varies with on-site fabrication; durable for demanding requirements.
