The Key Benefits of Pre-engineered Buildings You Need to Know
Pre-engineered buildings (PEB) have become a very popular method of construction around the world due to their flexibility, ease of construction and cost-effective pricing.
It involves pre-designed and prefabricated steel structures which can be tailored according to the requirements and assembled on site. You can learn more about PEB in our previous blog here.
The benefits of PEB solutions are so great that many large companies and small businesses alike are opting to build new structures using pre-engineered building solutions instead of traditional construction methods. In this blog, we look at the top 5 benefits of pre-engineered buildings.
5 Major benefits of using Pre-engineered buildings
Faster construction
Generally, building a concrete building takes a lot of time and money. This is where PEB buildings come as a competitive advantage. Much less time and money is needed if you use pre-engineered buildings. PEB buildings can be constructed 3 times faster than traditional buildings. This means you have your structure sooner, and you don’t have to wait around for months or years to get into your building.
Lower cost
When it comes to construction, you get what you pay for. A building that doesn’t last isn’t worth a thing. Pre-engineered buildings typically cost less than site-built buildings, making them more economical in the long run.
Also, required materials can be selected prior to construction, so only the required materials can be procured after doing all the calculations. This ensures you get efficient material usage and less wastage. This makes PEB building more cost-effective.
Increased safety
When a home is structurally strong, it makes it much safer for the occupants. You won’t have to worry about things like walls cracking or sudden collapse in case of natural calamity like an earthquake. Since Nepal is vulnerable to earthquakes, it is a no-brainer for people to consider buildings that can resist it.
Also, since pre-engineered buildings are able to withstand bad weather, flooding, tornadoes and other disasters better than site-built buildings, they can protect you and your loved ones from injury or worse while they’re at your facility. This is especially important if there are children, old aged people, or disabled ones in your building.!
Durability
PEB construction uses technologies like Digital Twins and Virtual Reality that allow you to run simulations on the structure before it is assembled. Since load considerations are already taken into account before construction, this enhances the structure quality and also increases the efficiency of the entire frame.
Structures can be built to last with an increased span between 40 to 50 years for commercial buildings and up to 60 years for industrial buildings.
Faster Return on Investment
While it's true that constructing your building out of pre-engineered materials saves money, that's not always why owners pick them. Faster return on investment is just one more benefit to consider when you're weighing costs.
The initial cost savings comes into play during long-term ownership and can be managed in a number of ways. One thing you might do is lease space in your building or have multiple tenants—that way you'll have more people paying rent each month than if there was only one occupant.
By choosing pre-engineered buildings, you will save yourself a lot of money and effort. While there are some benefits to traditional buildings, most companies and homeowners choose pre-engineered facilities because they are becoming aware it will save them time and money.
With all their advantages, pre-engineered buildings are bound to become increasingly popular in every industry over time in Nepal. What are you waiting for? See how much your building can benefit from using Hulas Infra pre-engineered structures. Contact us for a free consultation.
