Advantages of pre engineered metal buildings over traditional ones
Pre engineered metal buildings offer a number of benefits over traditional brick and mortar construction. They are cost effective, customization, offer design flexibility and are built to last. These are the most common benefits of pre engineered metal buildings.
Pre engineered buildings are also sometimes referred to as prefab metal buildings. The are custom designed structures which are made in factories and transported to the construction site for assembly and installation. The primary structure is made of steel with insulated sandwich panels or single skin sheet for wall and roofing depending on the requirement. Accessories can also be added according to one’s choice and building type.
So what makes PEB ideal for your business? Let’s look at few advantages of PEBs as below:
Construction Site and Labor cost Savings: Pre-engineered buildings have a vendor manufacturing them. So there is a team of people involved right till the completion. The building components are accurately manufactured in the factory, so construction effort required at the site is lesser compared to traditional construction. Thus, requirement of labors and additional costs at the construction site is minimized.
Lower Heating and Cooling Cost: The insulated wall panels retain room temperature. Therefore, you need not spend hefty amounts for cooling or heating.
Require much lesser maintenance: Steel has its inherent property of lasting long. Other than that, factors that normally affect conventional buildings like mold growth, mildew, termite does not affect steel. Therefore pre engineered steel buildings require much lesser maintenance compared to traditional. Also, some PEBs use rockwool sandwich panel, which has fire resistive capabilities, so they are less risky as well.
Cost effective: Now that we have talked about low maintenance factors, the other benefit of the pre engineered metal buildings is that they are easy to dismantle. So you can carry the components and rebuilt it at another project location when required. This saves a lot of cost in the long run, since you invest once and can reuse the same building multiple times.
Enables faster construction: A pre engineered building is constructed offsite, with all of its specifications being determined beforehand. After this, the structures are assembled are onsite. This process is about 50 percent faster than traditional construction. So you if you have need your project to be done within a very short span of time, pre engineered buildings are the way to go.
EPACK has over 20 years of experience in pre engineered building construction. Our portfolio is diverse and includes large warehouses, factory buildings, industrial sheds, airport terminal buildings, prefab schools, stadium structures etc.
