Some of the significant advantages of PEB buildings over
conventional buildings are :
| PEB Buildings |
Conventional Building |
| Aesthetically appealing appearance |
Special aesthetic design required |
| Reduced time because of international design standards & codes
using standard sections and connections |
Increased design time due to scratch and availability
of less design aids |
| Higher resistance to seismic forces due to low weight
flexible frames |
Rigid heavy weight structures not suitable for seismic
zones |
| 30% less PEB steel structures weight through efficient
use of steel |
High weight due to excessive safety factor and the
usage of heavier steel sections |
| Factory controlled quality |
Every project to be fabricated at site |
| Lower initial cost of peb steel buildings(cost per
square meter about 30% less than the conventional) and faster delivery
|
Special design and features developed for each project
at higher costs |
| Simple Foundation, easy to construct and light weight
of PEB structures |
Extensive heavy foundation |
| Average delivery time 6-8 weeks |
Average delivery time 22-28 weeks |
