The construction industry in India is growing in leaps and bounds. Along with the construction industry, the steel industry is also rising. The demand for pre-engineered steel buildings has increased in the last few years. Unlike conventional steel buildings, PEB constructions are more economical and eco-friendly. Moreover, for PEB buildings, all the designs and the constructions are done within the factory and are taken to the site where the erection needs to be completed.

Since the PEB buildings are being constructed with steel, they have positive environmental value compared to conventional buildings. Thus, the demand for reliable pre-engineered steel building manufacturers in Kolkata is rising. Read on to know more about the differences between conventional and PEB buildings.

PEB vs Conventional buildings – Know the difference

Design standard

A standard design is maintained for the construction and manufacturing of PEB buildings. Hence, the engineers don’t need to spend on quickly designing and completing the assembling and fabrication. On the contrary, conventional buildings need to be designed, and construction work is started. Hence the completion process is time-consuming.

Installation process

PEB buildings’ erection and construction process are easy, quick and smooth. The parts are transported to the site, and with the simple use of bolted connections, the complete architecture is completed. Thus the number of human labour involved is also lower than in conventional construction projects. For conventional constructions, you need years and months of hard work and numerous construction workers who will work to complete the project.

Effect of weather

PEB building construction process is not affected by adverse weather conditions. The companies are not required to stop the construction process even under scorching heat or constant rains. However, if you’re dealing with a sand and brick construction project, then the project might get delayed due to adverse weather conditions.

Construction wastes

For PEB projects, there’s minimum or no construction waste. The material requirements according to the design are pre-decided with the help of computer programs and software. Hence the incidence of waste is very less. On the contrary, the amount of waste for sand and brick construction projects is high. It isn’t easy to get an accurate estimate of the amount of raw material that might be needed to complete the project.

Relocation and fixings

You can easily relocate or rework the PEB building from scratch if there’s a design flaw. However, this is impossible in the case of conventional projects. Once constructed, you can’t move or fix any issues. To fix issues, you need to demolish and reconstruct the building.
