Prefabricated buildings are buildings designed in a factory and assembled on-site. Also known as PEBs (Pre-Engineered Buildings), they are generally steel structures. The assembled sections are manufactured in a factory to the exact dimensions, transported to the site, and assembled on-site with bolted connections. This type of structural concept is commonly used to construct industrial buildings, subway stations, warehouses, and so on.Prefabricated steel buildings utilize a combination of formed sections, hot-rolled sections, and cold-formed elements, providing the basic steel frame with a choice of single-skin sheets with additional insulation or insulated sandwich panels for the roof and wall cladding. The concept is designed to provide a complete building envelope system that is airtight, energy-efficient, optimized in terms of weight and cost, and, most importantly, designed to meet the user's needs.
Saves time: Buildings are typically delivered just weeks after drawings are approved. Foundation and anchor bolts are cast parallel to the finish, ready for bolting on site. The use of PEB will reduce the total project construction time by at least 50%. This also allows for faster occupancy and faster revenue realization.Lower cost: Thanks to the systems approach, there is a significant saving in design, manufacturing and on-site assembly costs. The secondary elements and the covering fit together, reducing transport costs.Expansion Flexibility: Buildings can be easily expanded in length by adding additional bays. Expansion in width and height is also possible by pre-designing future expansion. Larger spans: Buildings can be provided up to approximately 80-meter clear spans.Quality Control: As the buildings are completely manufactured in the factory under controlled conditions, quality is assured.Low maintenance cost: Buildings are supplied with high quality painting systems for cladding and steel suited to the ambient conditions of the site, resulting in long durability and low maintenance costs.Energy efficient roof and wall systems: Buildings can be supplied with polyurethane insulated panels or fiberglass insulation blankets to achieve the required U-values.Architectural versatility: Buildings can be provided with different types of facades, canopies and curved eaves and are designed to accommodate precast concrete wall panels, curtain walls, block walls and other systems wall-mounted.Single Source Availability: As the entire complete building is supplied by a single supplier, compatibility of all building components and accessories is ensured. This is one of the main advantages of prefabricated building systems.
