The construction industry has come a long way in developing stronger buildings within less time. The process which began with mud and stones has now reached new heights of innovation. One such innovation is pre engineered metal building, which are prefabricated steel buildings assembled at the clients' sites. These are resource-efficient and time saving structures that effectively cut down the overall investment in the project. The activities performed in developing these structures help in reducing the burden on environment by significantly wiping out the unnecessary use of energy. As a result, pre engineered metal building (PEMB) has emerged as a viable storage and residential structure that can be built without compromising on environmental demands. The partially constructed components are, at first, manufactured at the factory. Pre engineered metal building components include supporting pillars, door head and roof structure. Since the structure is developed at a climate-controlled site, considerable manpower and time can be saved. As a result, the method involved in constructing pre engineered metal building is quite simple and consumes less time when compared to conventional way of constructing buildings. The only limitation, however, is that these buildings do not have attached windows and doors, which are built separately. Nevertheless, this limitation is easily compensated by a vast array of benefits offered by such buildings. Similar to prefab metal building, pre engineered steel buildings contribute significantly towards sustainable development. The basic material used in constructing these buildings is steel, which is known for its material strength and recyclability. With this, the demand on timber by the real estate sector has reduced. Being non-recyclable in nature, timber could not be used in the construction industry as it increased the burden on forests. Pre engineered steel buildings have, thus, gained relevance this industry by providing an alternative to wood, thus lessening the number of forests being cut. Besides paving way for sustainable development, steel is much stronger than the timber. Due to the rigid and hard nature of steel, the structure requires minimum maintenance. Being an alloy, steel is resistant to rusting and other forms of corrosion and offers optimum resistance to the same in areas where it rains frequently. As an additional benefit, the roof of pre engineered steel buildings facilitates natural lighting, thus making the room brighter without any artificial lighting. Furthermore, pre engineered steel buildings are cooler compared to their conventional counterparts. This is a potent benefit, especially in the regions which are susceptible to intense heat.
