Prefabricated Steel Buildings - What makes them so popular?

Prefabricated steel buildings have been widely accepted by the world as a worthy alternative to traditional construction and even superior in some areas. They offer a number of benefits that traditional buildings are unable to provide. A prefabricated building has its components made in a factory which are then shipped to the job site for installation.

Let’s look at few advantages of prefabricated steel buildings over their traditional counterparts:👇

They have consistent quality

In prefabrication, majority of the manufacturing work takes place in a controlled factory environment using machinery. The entire building structure is determined before and a drawing is sent to the production team, who follows the same. Therefore consistency is retained. Also, steel does not wear out unlike wood or other decaying material under environmental conditions. 

Long term cost savings

Pre engineered steel buildings are mostly modular in nature, which are easy to dismantle and can be rebuilt at another location. So instead of having to make a new building all over again, the same one can be used multiple times. Needless to say this saves a lot of cost. Also, steel is inherently long lasting and is not affected by moisture, pest, etc which cause wear and tear in brick and mortar buildings. Thus, steel buildings saves cost in the long run. 

Built to maximum efficiency

Since the entire process (dimensions, measurements, load bearing capacity) is pre engineered, it becomes easy to manufacture these buildings for maximum efficiency. Also, offsite construction means little or no waste is left at the construction site. Thus, prefab steel buildings account for much less construction pollution. 

These buildings are long lasting

Over a period of time, the joints and staples that are commonly used in assembling of wooden prefab structures may start giving up. This has an impact on the entire frame and can cause certain parts of the building to sag and doors to stick. Whereas, steel used in prefab metal buildings will remain in place, no matter how old the building becomes, thereby retaining structural strength and rigidity. 

Prefab steel buildings are green 

Time and again, steel has been considered to be greenest among all other building materials. The reason is steel can be recycled time and again without affect its inherent strength and durability. Once the usage of your steel building is over and it is no longer needed, the steel can be recycled and reformed into other structures to be used in other projects.

At EPACK Prefab, we have been into prefabrication for 20 years. We make large industrial structures like warehouse, factories, cold storage building as well as a wide range of infrastructure like pre engineered airport terminal buildings, school buildings, etc.

What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Light Gauge Steel Framing?

Light Gauge Steel (LGS) framing is a modern construction technique that utilizes steel as the primary material for building frames. This type of framing is becoming increasingly popular in both residential and commercial construction due to its strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. However, as with any building material, there are both advantages and disadvantages to consider when opting for light gauge steel framing. Let’s take a closer look. Advantages of Light Gauge Steel Framing 1. Durability and Strength Light Gauge Steel framing is known for its incredible strength. Steel is a highly durable material that can withstand a variety of environmental challenges, including moisture, pests, and fire. Unlike wood, steel is not susceptible to termites or rot, making it a long-lasting option for buildings in humid or high-risk areas. 2. Lightweight and Easy to Handle While steel is known for its strength, light gauge steel is relatively lightweight, making it easier to transport ...

Sandwich Panels as a Cost-Effective Alternative in Modern Construction Projects

The cutting-edge building structure envelops are composite layers of metals and insulating media that enable best features of strength, insulation as well as corrosion resistance. Thee are designed with multiple metal layers inside which core materials are sandwiched. As compared to conventional wall and ceiling construction, the use of these sandwich composite panels enables peak levels of cost-effectiveness as well as sustainability in construction projects.    The use of these alternate panels makes it possible to gain an ideal balance between the aesthetic as well as functional features of a structure and thus better benefits in both are assured. These provide a wide range of advantages that makes them a highly popular choice for contractors and engineers.    Use of sandwich composite panels in wall and ceiling cladding    Sustainability and cost-effectiveness are two major factors that determine the overall approach to modern-age infrastructure d...

Navigating Sustainable Construction: EPACK Prefab's “Steel for Smiles” Initiative

The surge in construction activity, driven by rapid urbanization and population growth, is particularly notable in developing countries like India. However, this expansion has significant environmental implications due to the high energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with the building industry. India aims to achieve zero emissions by 2070, necessitating a shift towards eco-friendly practices and low-carbon products. EPACK Prefab has consistently prioritized sustainability in its projects. Committed to delivering superior pre-engineered building (PEB) solutions, EPACK Prefab transcends traditional construction methods by integrating eco-friendly practices into its manufacturing processes. The company adheres to green building certification guidelines, helping clients significantly reduce carbon emissions. In a recent initiative to promote the circular economy, EPACK Prefab has launched the “Steel for Smiles” program, showcasing its leadership in sustainable construction so...
