PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS (PEBs)
ALTERNATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURAL STEEL BUILDINGS
Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) are the building components that are manufactured at a factory and assembled on site. Usually, PEBs are steel structures and can be an alternative to conventional structural steel buildings. PEB structural components are fabricated at the factory to the exact size, transported to the site, and assembled at the site, usually with bolted connections.
This type of structural concept is generally used to build:
Industrial and Small Manufacturing Buildings
Small Retail and Commercial Office Buildings
Warehouses and Storage Units
PEBs have the following features:
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.
They offer time savings. With materials and designs pre-chosen, er****on of a facility can be much quicker and more efficient than a conventional building. In addition, finding a building firm which can self-perform er****on can further shave off time.
They are versatile and offer architectural options.
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.
They are low-maintenance.
They are sustainable.
Recycled content, recyclability, and minimal environmental impact due to their life-cycle costs make PEBs an ideal choice when looking to incorporate sustainability and green construction into your next project
