How to choose the right Pre Engineered Buildings(PEB) Company/ Vendor?
Pre Engineered Buildings have been widely accepted around the world for the immense benefits that it bring along. They are cost effective and can be built faster by around 50 percent when compared to traditional. While the majority of the components are constructed off site, the assembling and installation is done on site. This reduces construction waste left at the site.
In the industrial and commercial sectors, PEBs are used widely as warehouses, industrial sheds, factory buildings, office buildings, malls, etc. These buildings are primarily made of steel with insulated sandwich panels for wall and roofing. Industrial PEBs can come fitted with turbo ventilators, eot cranes, additional mezzanine installation, etc as per requirement. Based on client requirement, the exterior can be given civil-like finish as well.
If you are looking out for a Pre Engineered Buildings for your Business, there are certain things to consider before giving contract to your vendor. Below are some helpful points that we would like to share with you.
1. The arrangement for workers accommodation
It requires trained personnel to assemble and install a pre engineered part by part. So one needs to ensure that accommodation is provided to the workers since it takes weeks for a project to complete. This entails a certain budget. So before finalising the order, it is better to clarify if accommodation will be provided and who will bear the cost.
2. The scope of transportation and its cost
First and foremost, we recommend checking about transportation and who’s responsibility would it be to carry the building components from factory to the construction site. Since materials are in bulk, transportation cost is quite high. Therefore, checking about the transportation facility and who will bear the cost is of first priority.
3. The scope of installation machinery and its cost
The structural system of a PEB is installed at the site using machinery like cranes, hydra, etc. The cost of hiring these machines adds up to the total project. Therefore, it is essential to understand as to who will arrange these machines to avoid any confusion arising later on and the total cost.
4. Colour coating of steel sections
In prefabrication, the steel sections usually arrive with colour coating done from the factory. However, it is better to verify whether colour coating will be done in the factory or onsite, so as to avoid any confusion later on and make the construction process seamless one.
These are few basic factors to get checked before placing order for a Pre engineered building.
