Today Pre Engineered Buildings are the most preferred choice of construction around the world. If we talk about India, PEBs are a much utilized idea that more than 60% of the non-residential low-rise buildings in west are pre designed. The country has the quickest developing business sector in the PEB development segment. This type of construction is pollution free and easy to fabricate any building in any location. If we compare pre engineered building with Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) building then it would be right to say that pre engineered building is better choice for construction. And the reasons are following as:
Cost & Time Saving:
For manufacturing a RCC building, there are lot of manpower & time required to build it and that is costly. But to build a pre engineered building less manpower & time required and this construction is quicker, affordable and cost-efficient way. So most importantly time saving in pre engineered building.
Earthquake Resistance:
RCC buildings are brittle so they are less earthquake resistant but pre engineered buildings can withstand earthquake more effectively than RCC building.
Load Bearing Capacity:
In the comparison to the steel the load bearing capacity of the RCC is low but the load carrying capacity of pre engineered building is very good.
Weather Resistant:
If we talk about RCC Building and steel building, moisture affects the RCC wall because of the absorption of moisture but in steel building it does not happened.
Scrap Value:
The material in RCC buildings construction is very rare to be reused but in pre engineered building construction material is mostly reusable. As a result, the scrap value of concrete is nil but the scrap value of steel is very good.
Self-weight:
The self-weight of RCC is more but that of the Pre Engineered Buildings is 60% lighter than the concrete.
Foundation:
The foundation for the RCC building should be strong because of the larger weight of concrete but the steel building can be made without foundation
Less Maintenance:
Pre engineered buildings require less maintenance as compared to RCC buildings. Any weather condition does not affect the steel building but RCC buildings are likely to be affected by weather conditions, so required more maintenance in it.
Dismantlement:
RCC Building material is not useful after destruction of building but steel building can be dismantle and reinstalled easily with the same material of it.
