Benefits of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs): Why Choose Strucxel
Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) are becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry due to their numerous advantages over traditional building methods. At Strucxel, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality PEB solutions that offer a range of benefits, from reduced construction time to enhanced architectural versatility. In this blog, we'll delve into the key benefits of PEBs and explain why they are an excellent choice for your next construction project.
1. Reduction in Construction Time
One of the most significant advantages of PEBs is the dramatic reduction in construction time. Once the drawings are approved, buildings are typically delivered within a few weeks. This rapid delivery is possible because the foundation and anchor bolts are cast parallel with the finished components, ready for site bolting. In India, the use of PEBs can reduce the total construction time of a project by at least 50%, allowing for faster occupancy and earlier realization of revenue.
2. Lower Cost
PEBs offer substantial cost savings due to their systems approach. There are significant savings in design, manufacturing, and on-site erection costs. Secondary members and cladding are designed to nest together, which reduces transportation costs. This streamlined process not only lowers the overall cost but also ensures that the project stays within budget.
3. Flexibility of Expansion
PEBs provide exceptional flexibility for future expansion. Buildings can be easily extended in length by adding additional bays. Expansion in width and height is also possible if pre-designed for future expansion. This flexibility is ideal for businesses that anticipate growth and need the ability to adapt their space accordingly.
4. Larger Spans
PEBs can be designed to provide clear spans of up to 80 meters. This capability is particularly beneficial for structures that require large, unobstructed spaces, such as warehouses, factories, and sports facilities. Larger spans reduce the need for internal columns, maximizing usable space.
5. Quality Control
Since PEBs are manufactured entirely in the factory under controlled conditions, the quality of the building components is assured. This controlled environment eliminates many of the variables that can affect quality on a traditional construction site, resulting in a superior finished product.
6. Low Maintenance
PEBs are supplied with high-quality paint systems for cladding and steel, tailored to suit the ambient conditions at the site. This results in buildings that are highly durable and require minimal maintenance over time. The long-term savings on maintenance make PEBs a cost-effective choice.
7. Energy Efficient Roofing and Wall Systems
PEBs can be equipped with energy-efficient roofing and wall systems, such as polyurethane insulated panels or fiberglass blanket insulation. These systems help achieve the required “U” values, enhancing the building's energy efficiency. Improved insulation reduces heating and cooling costs, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective building.
8. Architectural Versatility
PEBs offer remarkable architectural versatility. They can be supplied with various types of fascias, canopies, and curved eaves, and are designed to accommodate pre-cast concrete wall panels, curtain walls, block walls, and other wall systems. This versatility allows for unique and attractive building designs that meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
9. Single Source Availability
One of the major benefits of PEB systems is that the complete building package is supplied by a single vendor. This ensures compatibility of all building components and accessories, simplifying the construction process and reducing the risk of discrepancies between different parts of the project.
