Defining the system
A pre-engineered building is a steel building system in which the primary frame, secondary members, cladding and accessories are engineered together as a package for a specific span, loading and usage requirement.
Main components
The system typically comprises primary rigid frames, secondary purlins and girts, roofing and wall cladding, bracing, and accessories such as ventilators, skylights and openings.
Common applications
PEB structures are widely used for factories, warehouses, industrial sheds, workshops, logistics facilities and commercial structures where clear spans and predictable timelines matter.
