How pre-engineered buildings are better than a traditional building — Facts and Figures

This is a fact that each one of us is well aware of and it is related to the businesses that are moving at a faster pace and speed. With no doubt whatever is the type of business, it requires proper steps and stages so that it can be established in a proper way and along with that the running of the business becomes easier and convenient.

Not only this but even if your business is on the online platform, still there is a need and requirement to have a warehouse or store where the raw materials and the products can be stored. Now when you are planning to have a warehouse constructed or need to have it on rent then also there are many options available in the market. Having said this today we are discussing some of the facts and figures that communicate the information on the Pre-engineered building services.

Let us now proceed further and consider some of the facts and figures that are so very related to the services. It is that if you are planning to start a new building project and having confusion as to what type of building concept should be taken into consideration. It is with regards to the innovative concept of PEB building or the same old traditional building. Also, for the same, if at all you are looking for a PEB design service provider, then indeed this article is the right place for you. We have indeed listed down the details that are a topic of debate and that is what is better pre engineered building structures or traditional/ conventional building.

Difference between pre-engineered building design vs traditional buildings

The basic concept to start up with the work is to understand the difference between PEB building and structural steel building. It is because all the buildings that are or are constructed need to have long-term benefits and when we talk about this it means the life-cycle of the complete building. Learning the difference between using a PEB building or a traditional construction is immaterial when it comes to both commercial and industrial projects.

So, as a question to yourself as to what would you like to have whether a pre-engineered building or a conventional building? Well, both types of building construction are good at their level of services. Not only they yield strength in the building structure but give durability to the building as well. For this saying when discussing pre engineered building structures here are some pros and cons that are related to the services and that indeed you need to understand well before making a decision.

Now if talking about PEB buildings, these are the structure that is designed, manufactured, and fabricated in the factory. Once the pre-engineered building structure is designed, it is later been transported to the construction site and assembled in an accurate way as per the PEB structure drawings at the construction site. The actual use of the said service is involving the part of roofing and exterior parts of the building.

Not only this but the rigid framing work is considered in the process of completing the roof, beams, and columns. Also, the other panels along with exterior panels that are assembled are along with any other structural elements and accessories. This process of work entirely depends and varies from design to design and based on the requirements of the project.

Let us now proceed further and have a reality check on understanding the facts and figures/ pros and cons of knowing which building is better. A PEB structured building or a traditional building construction method.

Pros of Pre engineered Building

• The manufacturing of a PEB structure building is having a standard template which means these PEB buildings are formed and assembled with adherence to standard sections.
• The investment of time and energy is reduced in fabrication and assembly.
• Before the inception of designing and manufacturing a PEB structure, the team ensures to have a thorough and detailed analysis of the entire design and drawing. This is only possible with the help of software and international standard.
• The process of outsourcing PEB services always optimises the work at a maximum level and it is with regards to the measurement and material procurement.
• PEB design drawings help to understand the process of the work at a faster pace and yield an affordable design and build process.
• The delivery process of PEB engineered building design is way fast easier and convenient as compared to traditional building.
• Erection of a PEB building is simple. It is done using bolted connections. The process is fast and easy with very less requirement for heavy machinery and equipment.
• As compared to the traditional method of constructing building the process of manufacturing and assembly of a PEB structure costs less.
• The weight of the PEB building is light as that compared to a concrete building. It is due to the use of steel in it.
• With the availability of standard design templates, architectural designs can easily be achieved.
• The maintenance level required is very less.
• There is minimal to no wastage during assembly and construction, as material requirements are calculated beforehand using a computer program.
• It reduces construction time and is energy efficient.

Cons of Pre-Engineered Building

Now let us proceed further and check on the other side of the service and that is related to the disadvantages of the service or the Cons of the service.

• Traditional buildings are created with the help of steel, bricks, and concrete sections.
• The creation, fabrication, and assembling of the buildings are done at the site only.
• In PEB the buildings are involved with the process of having welding and cutting and that is done at the site itself and not in the factory.
• If talking about conventional building its construction and design part is done from scratch requiring substantial design and intricate work from various consultants.

Pros of Traditional Building

• The demand for undertaking the age-old method of traditional building is high demand. It is termed to be a long history of usage.
• The material and the labor for constructing traditional buildings are readily available, as compared to PEB structured buildings.

Cons of Traditional Buildings

• The overall cost of the project is on the higher side. It is with regards to the high cost of labor and raw material both.
• As compared to PEB structure design and construction method the process of traditional building is costlier as well as time-consuming.
• Traditional buildings demand heavy and higher foundation design. This could therefore cause a reason for getting the work for years.
• The durability, as well as the life-cycle of the building, is hindered and it is only because of the heavyweight of the raw materials that are been used here.
• Construction of a traditional building requires heavy machinery on-site and causes lots of material wastage.
• The design process is time-consuming. It also takes more study and research which could significantly increase costs.
• Delivery and construction are slow.
• Erection is slow and demands more time and labor.
• It requires constant maintenance, which could prove to be heavy on the pocket.
