PEB vs CONVETIONAL STEEL BUILDINGS

Quick and efficient since PEBs are mainly formed of standard sections and connections, design time is significantly reduced.

Slow: Each Conventional Steel structure is designed from scratch by the consultant, with fewer design aids available to the engineer.

Average 6 to 8 weeks

Average 20 to 26 weeks

Simple design, easy to construct and light.

Extensive, heavy foundation required.

Both costs & time of erection are minimized. The erection process is easy, fast, step by step and with hardly any requirements for equipment's.

Typically, they are 20/5 more expensive than PEB. In most of the cases, the erection costs and time are not estimated accurately. Erection is slow and extensive field labor is required. Heavy equipment is often needed.

Outstanding architectural design can be achieved at low cost using standard architectural features and interface details.

Special architectural design and features must be developed for each and project, which often require research thus resulting in much higher costs.

PEB buildings are designed with future expansion in mind, it is simple, easy and cost effective. One Supplier can co-ordinate changes.

Future expansion would be more difficult and, more likely, costlier.

Single responsibility for design, supply and even erection of PEBs.

Multiple responsibilities can result in questions of who is responsible when components do not fit property.
