Pre-engineered steel buildings a game changer for construction industry

Manish Garg, Business Head at Safal Building Systems.

The construction industry, for instance, has witnessed a new technological wave with the advent of pre-engineered steel buildings (PEBs). 

For starters, pre-engineered steel building is a modern technology where the complete design, Engineering, Detailing and Fabrication is done off site at the factory and the building components are brought to the site in CKD (completely knock down condition) and then bolted on the site using simple hosing methods in virtually no time.
