COMPARISON BETWEEN PRE-ENGINEERED AND CONVENTIONAL STEEL BUILDING

PEB vs Conventional Steel Building

PropertiesPre-Engineered Steel BuildingConventional Steel Building
Structural WeightPre-engineered buildings are on average 30% lighter because of efficient steel use. Secondary members are lightweight roll-formed 'Z' or 'C' shaped members. Primary members are optimized hot-rolled 'T' sections.Secondary members are selected from standard hot-rolled sections which are heavier than required by design.
DesignQuick and efficient design as PEBs use standard sections and connections, significantly reducing design time.Each structure is designed from scratch with fewer design aids, increasing design time and complexity.
FoundationSimple, easy-to-construct, and lightweight foundations due to reduced structural weight.Requires extensive and heavy foundations due to higher overall weight.
Erection and SimplicityStandardized connections enable faster learning curves and simpler erection for subsequent projects.Connections are usually complex and vary from project to project, making erection slower and more difficult.
Erection Time and CostFaster and easier erection with minimal equipment needs; overall lower erection time and cost.Typically 20% more expensive than PEBs; erection is slow, labor-intensive, and requires heavy equipment.
Seismic ResistanceLightweight and flexible frames provide better performance in seismic zones.Rigid and heavy frames are less effective under seismic forces.
Overall CostCost per square meter can be up to 30% lower than conventional buildings.Higher cost per square meter due to heavier sections and labor-intensive erection.
ArchitectureAttractive architectural design is easier and cheaper using standard details and interfaces.Custom architectural features must be developed per project, increasing design time and cost.
Future ExpansionVery easy and simple to expand in all directions.Expansion is complex, time-consuming, and expensive.
COMPARISON BETWEEN PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS (PEB) AND RCC BUILDINGS

PEB vs RCC Building

Comparison AspectPre-Engineered Steel Buildings (PEB)Concrete Buildings (RCC)
FabricationFabrication is done in controlled shop conditions, ensuring precision and consistency.Fabrication is mostly done on-site in variable conditions, which can affect quality.
Labor IntensityLow onsite labor due to factory-based manufacturing; fewer people needed on-site.Highly labor-intensive; requires a large workforce on-site for extended periods.
Material SpecificationsMaterials are precisely controlled and manufactured under strict supervision in production facilities.Material properties vary significantly due to inconsistent proportioning and on-site mixing.
Quality ControlAutomated machines ensure accurate measurements and high-quality output with minimal errors.Quality may suffer due to manual processes and inconsistent on-site materials.
Load BearingSteel can bear up to 6 times its own weight, offering superior strength-to-weight ratio.Concrete's load-bearing capacity is nearly equal to its own weight, making it heavier overall.
Earthquake / Wind ResistanceHighly resistant to earthquakes and wind due to lighter, flexible structure.Less resistant to earthquakes and wind due to rigidity and heavier mass.
Material FoundationsRequires lighter and simpler foundations, reducing construction complexity and cost.Requires extensive and heavy foundations due to greater structural weight.
ErectionFast, efficient, and predictable erection process with well-defined timelines and costs.Slower construction due to on-site concrete pouring and curing requirements.
Clear SpansCan achieve large clear spans up to 90 meters without internal columns.Typically limited to smaller spans; larger spans require heavier structures.
Building HeightAllows higher structures at a lower cost due to efficient design.Height is limited by the need for stronger foundations as height increases.
ChangesHighly flexible and adaptable; easy to make changes or expansions in the future.Difficult and costly to modify or expand; may require demolition and reconstruction.
Fire ResistanceVarious fire-resistant coatings are available and can be customized.Concrete inherently offers good fire resistance.
ApplicationsIdeal for industrial and commercial buildings.Best suited for offices, homes, villas, and institutional buildings.
CostSlightly higher upfront cost but justified by time savings and accurate forecasting.Slightly lower initial cost but total expenses are harder to predict and may increase over time.
Codes Used for DesignDesigned using internationally recognized codes like AISC, AISI, MBMA, and AWS.Based on traditional IS codes which may not be updated and vary by region.
