Pre-Engineered Buildings and the PEB industry

A roof over your head is one of the biggest aspirations of most people. However, the roof has evolved from being a mere shelter to much more, especially in the case of real estate and industrial applications. Today, the roof is a crucial aspect of any construction; and plays a multi-utility role. In addition to the roof playing an important role in allowing daylight and natural ventilation, it can also be customized to help in rainwater harvesting and generating solar power. India’s construction boom has had a positive impact on the roofing sector not just in terms of volumes but also in terms of innovation and technology; where Interarch Buildings played a key role in shaping the market. 

One of the key factors that have given an immense fillip to advanced roofing and cladding products is the growth of the pre-engineered buildings and the PEB industry. Experts estimate the metal roof and wall systems market at about 800 Crores. In India, the sunrise industries of infrastructure and automobile have provided a major boost to the roofing industry. Asbestos and galvanised steel sheets dominate the traditional market. It is in this scenario that Interarch Buildings introduced technically advanced products that are quick to install, without compromising on quality and aesthetics. 

As early as 1992, when the industry was still at a nascent stage, Interarch Buildings pioneered sophisticated and insulated engineered metal roof and wall systems in India under the brand name of TRACDEK®. This roofing system uses zinc-aluminum coated insulated steel as opposed the conventional asbestos roof. The company was already a trailblazer in the pre-engineered steel buildings industry in India: TRACDEK® consolidated Interarch’s leading position. Since then, Interarch has been the leading manufacturer and PEB structure provider in many iconic and prestigious projects.

Interarch’s TRACDEK® metal roofing can be used across wide spectrum of steel structures, from industrial buildings like factories and warehouses; commercial constructions like malls and offices and even residential developments. The TRACDEK® roof system is versatile and lends itself for use as a single roofing system or in conjunction with other advanced multi-layered systems. This enables the company to customize the roof accordingly to specific requirements; and provide optimal thermal and acoustic characteristics. It is available in a ribbed and flat panel finishes enable a variety of different finishes for roofing and cladding. Asbestos, used in conventional roofing consists of carcinogenic material, is of low tensile strength and cracks easily. The TRACDEK® alloy coated roofing excellent atmospheric resistance in a wide range of climates like those in India. Today, TRACDEK® is the roofing of choice for many developers and customers alike.

It is not only in the roofing industry that Interarch has proven its mettle. Thanks to its first mover status in prefabricated steel buildings, Interarch is a respected brand in the field today. With its own manufacturing facilities across four locations, Interarch Buildings is the only leading an end-to-end solution provider of cutting-edge prefabricated metal buildings in India.
