Advantages of Pre-engineered Buildings for Construction in Philippines

Pre-engineered buildings, or PEBs, are a popular method of construction not only in the Philippines but across the globe. It commonly makes its appearance in industrial settings, commercial buildings, storage, and recreational spaces, and even for residential use. You may be curious what makes pre-manufactured steel such an advantageous choice for construction in all of these contexts. We can show you a few reasons you may want steel for your project, and how you can save money finding the material you need to build.

Time Savings

If you have a tight schedule for constructing your building, pre-engineered construction could be a particularly advantageous and strategic option for you. Pre-engineered steel frame buildings can be finished in half the time standard construction normally requires. Pre-engineered buildings can give you the great quality, flexible design, and durability you need in a quick, convenient time frame. Your building will be there, ready for you and fully functional right on time when you need it, which is a big advantage to you in any context.

Flexible Design

One of the greatest things about a pre-engineered metal building is that it can be fully customized and designed to meet an array of options. These buildings can be designed for all types of functions, from commercial to worship to transportation. Within the overall function are endless design options and even ways you can later expand, should your needs require it. Pre-engineered buildings are wise for businesses planning on growing, or companies that need wide, column-free space for an array of different needs. Because these durable structures have so many design options, you are given great flexibility with your structure’s entire interior layout.

Cost-efficient

Due to the system’s approach, there is a significant saving in design, manufacturing, and site erection cost. The structural elements are shaped to follow the stress diagram of the member, thus reducing weight, cost and load to foundations. The secondary members and cladding nest together reducing transportation cost. The overall price per square meter may be reduced as much as 25% lower than conventional steel.

Strength and durability

Pre-Engineered Buildings are built of I-frames which are sturdy in nature and are designed to take heavy loads.  Since load considerations are already considered before construction, this can greatly enhance the quality of the structure and increase the efficiency of the entire frame. Such methods also increase the life of the structure. Thanks to technological advancements and the help of its elastic property, pre-engineering buildings can withstand natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes... PEBs maintain their appearance throughout the life of the building due to the quality built into the process and the raw materials used. Steel is rust and corrosion resistant. This creates a solid structure and foundation which is virtually maintenance-free for a longer period than conventional buildings.

Ease Of Construction

Since most of the engineering of the structure is done in the factory during prefabrication of the structure, this reduces the efforts required during the actual construction at site which makes the construction process much easier. Prefabricated and customized beams can be transported to the site and assembled together using bolts and nuts which also makes the assembly process comfortable and reduces the requirement of manual labor.
