Pre-Engineered Building Systems

The revolutionary construction approach with enhanced speed, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for scalable and sustainable solutions.

HITEC PEB Systems

Hitec Metal Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings offer a versatile and robust framing system consisting of primary structure, secondary structure, anchor bolts, girts, bracing, and connection slips. We offer both clear span and multi-span frames based on project’s requirements. These systems are designed in accordance to AISC, AISI, and British Standard Design (BS5950).
Our systems shorten construction time while maximising efficiency. Each component is fabricated off-site and assembled on-site, offering exceptional speed and cost-saving solutions.

Pre-Engineered Buildings

Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) are factory-built structures that use prefabricated methods and steel framing systems. The entire system is designed for strength, minimal construction waste, and quick on-site assembly.

Key Components of Pre-Engineered Buildings

Pre-engineered buildings are composed of main structural and architectural components that integrate to form a durable and scalable structure. Each element plays a crucial role in contributing to the overall benefits and performance.

Steel Framing System

The structural steel framing system forms the backbone of any pre-engineered building, with two main types of structural components: primary and secondary members.
  • Primary members are built-up “I” such as columns and rafters, which are designed to carry the main structural loads.
  • Secondary members are cold-formed “Z” and “C” like purlins, girts, and eave struts. They are used to support roofing and wall panels, contributing to lateral stability and load distribution.
Integration of these components provides a strong and flexible framework that supports a wide range of building sizes and applications.

Bracing Systems

Bracing systems are crucial in resisting lateral forces, they help to maintain the structural integrity of buildings under wind, seismic, or dynamic loads. These systems include diagonal bracing, portal frames, and cable bracing.
Bracing connects primary and secondary members to ensure the frame remains stable and aligned. Proper bracing design also helps maintain the shape of buildings during transportation and installation.

Roofing and Wall Cladding

PEB systems use high-quality metal sheets for roofing and wall cladding. Roofing protects the interior from weather elements and helps regulate indoor temperature. The materials are selected based on weather conditions, insulation options, and visual preferences.
The cladding is installed over secondary framing components to serve as a protective layer that enhances the building’s durability. Additional coating can also be used to extend the lifespan and reduce maintenance requirements.

Fasteners and Accessories

Fasteners and accessories including anchor bolts, ridge ventilators, roof curbs, self-drilling screws, and more. They are used to seal and connect different components in PEBs, forming a tight and secure structure.
High-quality fasteners can maintain a building’s strength and integrity in the long term, while accessories support functionality and can be customized based on project needs.

Why Steel Framing System Is Ideal for PEB Construction?

Steel framing systems are the core foundation of pre-engineered buildings. The material offers great strength, durability, and adaptability.

Load-bearing Capacity

Steel can support heavy loads without increasing the overall structure’s weight, making it an ideal choice for large-span buildings and open interior layouts.

Durable and Last Longer

Steel can maintain its integrity even in harsh environments, it resists deterioration caused by moisture, pests, or extreme temperatures.

Improved Consistency

Steel is manufactured in controlled environments, while materials like concrete may vary in consistency. It’s best suited for precise engineering like PEBs.

Customizable

Steel can be precisely engineered and fabricated to meet specific architectural and functional requirements.

Recyclable

Steel is 100% recyclable, it can be reused without degrading strength or quality, making it an environmentally friendly material.

Resistant to Fire

Fire resistance is one of the essential features for industrial buildings. Steel is non-combustible, making it a safe choice in fire-prone spaces.

What are pre-engineered buildings?

Pre-engineered buildings involve the manufacturing of steel structures in the factory, then the components will be transported to the construction site for final assembly. A peb is made up of core components that include a steel framing system, roof and wall panels, bracing, and other accessories.


PEBs are widely used for commercial and industrial projects such as steel aircraft hangars and steel structure warehouses.

The steel framing system builds a foundation for structural support needed for a building to handle pressures and loads. Without a properly engineered steel frame, the structure’s integrity would be at risk.
PEBs offer several advantages, including shorter construction timelines, less material waste, and lower costs. It also provides high durability, scalability, and flexibility in design. These benefits make them a preferred choice for industrial and commercial use.
Traditional steel buildings are fabricated and constructed on-site, which takes more time due to the unexpected conditions such as harsh weather, material delays, and foundation issues. However, PEBs are fabricated in a controlled condition and assembled on-site. This results in faster project completion and is more cost-effective.
Typical pre-engineered buildings are mainly made up of structural steel components. Prefabricated buildings are a broader term that includes other materials such as concrete and composite materials.
The construction timeline for a PEB project depends on the building’s size and complexity, but it is significantly shorter than traditional construction. Most projects can be completed in a few weeks to a few months.
The cost varies based on the size and complexity of your project, but pre-engineered building methods are more budget-friendly compared to conventional steel building construction.
