Pre-engineered buildings have been given a new outlook and presence in India by Interarch Buildings. The company started operations in 1984, and was the pioneer of metal buildings in India. Interarch provides facilities for design, manufacture, logistics, supply and project execution for pre-engineered steel buildings. Interarch has been a knowledge leader for steel building manufacturing and construction in the country.
Since inception, Interarch Buildings has been constantly trying to make their work culture more efficient. They have made innovative changes to their designs, so as to deliver efficient metal buildings. They are one of the most reputable brands in the pre-engineered buildings sector. Interarch has also integrated technology in their production process, with the help of specialized software packages and custom-developed analysis tools. These enable consultants to understand designs of pre-engineered buildings better.
But what are pre-engineered buildings?
A pre-engineered building is one that is designed by an expert supplier or manufacturer in the field of engineering, and design of such structures. It is compiled using raw materials that are best suited for a particular project. The inventory is unique to each project and is so selected that it satisfies the structural and aesthetic design of the building being created. The basic framework of pre-engineered buildings is assembled with I-beams. These, I-beams are constructed by welding together steel plates to form I-sections. The, I-beams are then later field-assembled to formulate the entire structure of the pre-engineered building.
Pre-engineered buildings have come a long way with the advances in design technology. Earlier, pre-engineered building manufacturers used to work with pre-calculated tables for various structural elements. These tables were crucial in the selection of I-beams. Designers used tables to finalize the size of I-beam required for the project. However, with the evolution of computers, table selection procedures are becoming obsolete.
Pre-engineered buildings can save money for the developers. Conventional steel buildings generally, overweigh efficiently designed pre-engineered building by about 30%. The less the weight of the building, the less is the steel used in the structural framework, thus saving money.
