FAQs on PEB Structures

Pre-engineered building (PEB) buildings are steel structures that are manufactured and fabricated in a factory and then assembled at the site of construction. PEB structures are made by highly trained specialists and experienced manufacturers. PEB structures have roofs, beams and columns and can be easily customised to fulfil the requirement of the client.


If you are looking to buy PEB structures for your business, you are probably inundated with a lot of options. As a reputed PEB building manufacturer, we have curated some frequently asked questions and their answers that will help you make informed decisions: 


Question 1: What are the advantages of PEB structures?


PEB structures offer numerous advantages. Some of them are:

  • Faster execution:  As construction takes place in the factory as well as construction site, this expedites the project timeline. 

  • Cost-effective:  PEB structures are cheaper and easier to construct as they are built in a factory environment. This means that the building is constructed off-site, pre-built, and then transported to the construction site. The process saves time and money. 

  • Low maintenance:  PEB structures made of prefabricated metal components such as steel which does not easily rust or corrode. Maintenance is limited to periodic checking and cleaning. Steel structures are durable and low maintenance, making them a great choice for any project, be it warehouses, airport terminal buildings, factories and cold storage facilities. 

  • Superior strength and durability: High-quality PEB structures are designed to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions, so you can rest assured about their longevity. 



Q 2. Are PEB structures earthquake resistant?


Yes, PEB structures are known for their strength and durability. When designed well using high-quality materials, they can withstand earthquakes and other natural calamities. However, the durability of the structure will also depend upon:

  • The purpose with which PEB structures are designed 

  • The materials used in the time of manufacturing

  • The design  of the PEB structures 

  • Technology used to manufacture the PEB structures 



Question 3: Do PEB structures require high maintenance?


PEB structures are made of prefabricated steel and have the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. High-quality galvanised steel increases the life cycle of the  buildings. Galvanisation helps protect against corrosion and rusting. Thus, PEB structures are low maintenance. 


Question 4: Are PEBs expensive?


It is wrongly assumed that PEB structures are expensive. Due to their fast construction, they give better value for money and time. Also, they are more effective and efficient in terms of time and costs. PEB structures cost less than RCC buildings as they need less labour and material input. 


Question 5: Are PEB structures ideal only in the manufacturing industry?


Although PEB structures are widely used for making factories, factory sheds, and warehouses, their application is not limited to that.  Today, they are being used to make small car parking sheds, aircraft hangars and low-rise multi-storey buildings.


Question 6: What will be the approximate cost of a PEB structure ?


The cost of PEB structures is highly subjective. They depend upon the land area, construction site area, the height of the structure and several other factors. Our engineers can make a site visit and understand your requirements. Finally, a quotation will be generated with detailed pricing and timelines.
