The Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) technology is expected to speed up infrastructure projects in the country and the PEB industry is expected to be around Rs 5,000 crore in India and is growing at a rapid pace. PEB technology speeds up construction, brings in high durability, low maintenance costs, versatile use and it also brings in ease of expansion of the building. PEB solutions are gaining huge traction in India and are preferred mostly in western and developed nations as an alternative to conventional construction that involves constructing at the site of the project. Through PEB technology, the building units are completed at the factory premises of the manufacturer and the projects can be finished faster, say at one-third of time than a conventional construction.
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.
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.
