Reduced Construction Time:
Due to the systems approach, the use of high strength steel, use of tapered built-up sections which are optimized by the computerized design program and the use of continuous light gage secondary steel section, there is an overall reduction in steel weight, cost and time relative to conventional steel construction.Pre-engineered buildings are a predetermined inventory of raw materials that has proven over time to satisfy a wide range of structural and aesthetic requirements. The components are engineered beforehand and standardized. Use of these standard components reduces the engineering, production and erection time. Use of customized software for design & drafting increases the speed of the project.
The production line is highly sophisticated, having Auto welders, multi-cutting torches, shear cutting machines etc., which greatly reduce the time of fabrication of built-up components. Roll forming machines for producing Z & C members and sheeting, having standard dimension, increases the production capacity of secondary members. Use of standard accessories greatly increases the speed of production & erection.
Buildings are typically delivered in just a few weeks after approval of drawings. Foundation and Anchor Bolts are cast in parallel with manufacture of the building. Site assembly is fast, as all building components are delivered finished, ready for site bolting.
It can reduce total construction time on a project by at least 50%. This will allow faster occupancy and earlier realization of revenue.
Design:
Since PEB’s are mainly formed of standard sections and connections, the design time is significantly reduced. Specialized computer analysis and design programs optimize material require. Drafting also computerized using standard details that minimizes projectcustom details. The low-weight flexible frames offer higher resistance to seismic forces.
Lower Cost:
Due to the systems approach, there is a significant saving in design, manufacturing and site erection cost. The structural elements are shaped to follow the stress diagram of the member, thus reducing weight, cost and load to foundations. The secondary membersand cladding nest together reducing transportation cost. The overall price per square meter may be reduced as much as 30% lower than conventional steel.
All the connections of the different components are standard, the erection time is faster. The components are engineered beforehand and standardized. Use of these standard components reduces the engineering, production and erection time.
