PEB: A Boon for Building Industry

The pre-engineered building technology, which entered the Indian construction arena during the late nineties has over a period of time gained widespread acceptance among the end users and is steadily making inroads in the construction and infrastructure projects across the country. This is largely due to the fact that PEB-based construction technique is offering the most innovative, hi-tech, and quicker methods of construction ensuring efficient, cost effectiveness and speedy completion of projects, which is perhaps the pre-requisite for the construction sector to meet tight construction schedules and demanding deadlines.

The pre-engineered building technology

Drawing overwhelming response from construction and infrastructure builders, due to heightened construction activities currently going on across the country, the global players in the PEB industry have not just set up their shops but also launched multi-prong brand building initiatives by holding technical seminars, exhibitions and events displaying their products to popularize the benefits of PEB brands. In the process, they have been able to create awareness informing people that under the PEB systems buildings are built keeping the, eco-friendly environs, aesthetic value, designing, durability, energy efficiency, cost effectiveness and speedy completion of the construction projects in mind.

With increased emphasis on the on-going green buildings ensuring sustainable construction, the PEB structures are created with a high proportion of recycled content making them lighter by about 30% than the conventional steel buildings. They contain higher degree of fire and dust resistant and are maintenance free. As a result today the PEB system is the most preferred choice among the architects, builders, developers and industrialists. The experts in the field are unanimous in their view that the PEB industry in India is currently heading to achieve growth trajectory of about 35% per annum.

To know more about the PEB systems, its evolutions, benefits, future prospects and an unassailable edge it enjoys over the conventional systems of construction, MGS Architecture has interacted with cross sections of experts engaged in the field and has also elicited views of the captains of the PEB industry for the benefits of its readers.
