What is your overview of developments, promotion, and application of pre-engineered building systems in India?
In India, PEBs have brought the revolutionary growth in construction industry. The usage of PEBs in remote areas has changed the rural lives and converted those areas into towns. Owing to the growing industrialization and urbanization, several multi-storey structures have also come up in recent times. PEBs are gaining popularity as they are cost-effective, time-saving, and environment-friendly. The conventional structural steel building takes 6 months to complete, whereas the pre-engineered building takes hardly 2 months which is one third of constructing conventional structural steel building. By the time one conventional structural steel building gets constructed, we have 3 Pre-engineered Steel Buildings ready with us. With PEBs development is very fast. I must say PEBs should be encouraged in India in every field of construction.

PEBs have hit the Indian construction market in a big way owing to the many benefits they possess. Could you please briefly highlight some of the major benefits of PEBs and how do you see the growth of this industry looking at India's huge infrastructural requirements?
There is no doubt PEBs have hit the Indian construction market in a major way. They have brought the revolution in the field of construction. The use of pre-engineered steel buildings has become a common trend these days due to the numerous benefits that are associated with such buildings. Some of the major advantages of a pre-engineered building are:- ideal for construction in remote and hilly areas, resistant to earthquakes and cyclones, esthetical & most economical, World Class' Quality standard, erection time is faster, reduced construction time, flexibility of expansion, super-fast deliveries, environment-friendly, low maintenance, less labor require, and lower cost.
