Price of Pre-Engineered Warehouse / Shed in Pakistan – ACCO Engineering Guide 2026

By ACCO Engineering | December 2025

Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) have revolutionized the construction of industrial, commercial, and agricultural warehouses in Pakistan. With faster construction, cost-effectiveness, and high structural durability, PEBs are now the preferred solution for warehouses, logistic hubs, factories, cold storage facilities, and agricultural sheds.

ACCO Engineering is a leading provider of PEB solutions in Pakistan, offering turnkey design, fabrication, and installation services nationwide. This guide provides a detailed insight into the price of pre-engineered warehouse sheds in Pakistan, covering all major cities, technical specifications, sector applications, and cost breakdowns.

1. Introduction to Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs)

Pre-Engineered Buildings are modular steel structures designed for quick assembly and high durability. They are factory-fabricated, delivered to the site, and assembled with precision. Unlike RCC structures, PEBs offer flexibility, lower construction time, and reduced waste.

Advantages of PEBs for Warehouses:

• Faster construction (45–90 days vs 6–12 months for RCC)

• Cost-efficient (PKR 1,000–2,000/sq.ft for standard warehouses)

• Modular & flexible for future expansion

• Durable and resistant to seismic and wind loads

• Energy-efficient when insulated panels are used

2. Key Factors Affecting PEB Warehouse Prices

The cost of a pre-engineered warehouse depends on:

1. Steel Structure Weight – Heavier steel provides higher durability but increases cost.

2. Roofing & Wall Cladding – Single-skin sheets are cheaper; insulated sandwich panels are more expensive but energy-efficient.

3. Building Size & Height – Larger spans and taller sheds require more steel.

4. Accessories – Mezzanine floors, crane beams, doors, skylights, and ventilation systems add to costs.

5. Foundation & Civil Works – Soil condition and type of foundation significantly impact overall cost.

6. Location & Logistics – Transport and erection costs vary by city.

7. Regulatory Requirements – Seismic, wind, or fire safety standards may increase steel specifications.

3. Nationwide PEB Warehouse Price Overview (2025)

The average cost per sq.ft for a standard warehouse PEB in Pakistan ranges as follows:

Prices include steel structure, wall & roof cladding; civil works (foundation, site prep) are additional.

7. PEB Warehouse Cost Breakdown & ROI

Example Formula:

PEB Price = (Steel weight x Rate/kg) + (Roof & Cladding area x Rate/sq.ft) + Accessories

Illustrative Calculation:

• Steel weight: 20 kg/sq.ft

• Rate: PKR 250/kg

• Roofing: 10,000 sq.ft at PKR 150/sq.ft

• Total Price: (20 × 250) + 150 = PKR 5,150 / sq.ft

Investment Breakdown (10,000 sq.ft warehouse):

ROI Benefits:

• Faster occupancy → earlier revenue

• Lower maintenance & utility bills

• Typical ROI: 1.5–2.5 years

8. Case Studies: ACCO Engineering PEB Projects

• Cold Storage, Lahore: 20,000 sq.ft, completed in 60 days

• Logistics Warehouse, Faisalabad: 15,000 sq.ft, cost PKR 18 million

• Poultry Shed, Sahiwal: 8,000 sq.ft, insulated panels

• Garment Factory, Karachi: 30,000 sq.ft, heavy-duty steel, crane-ready
