Why Every New Factory Owner Is Choosing Steel PEB Systems for New Factories
ποΈ Introduction to ACCO Engineering
ACCO Engineering is a leading construction and industrial solutions provider in Pakistan, specializing in Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB), steel structures, turnkey factory construction, industrial warehouses, and sports & leisure engineering solutions.
Based in Lahore, with projects across Pakistan, ACCO Engineering brings over two decades of technical expertise, advanced fabrication standards, and modern engineering design practices to deliver high-quality PEB buildings for factories of all types.
As industrialization accelerates in Pakistan, more factory owners are choosing ACCO Engineering for cost-effective, fast, and durable Steel PEB Systems.
π Introduction: Why Factory Owners Prefer Steel PEB Systems
Across Pakistanβs industrial landscapeβfrom Karachi to Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and Islamabadβnew factory owners overwhelmingly prefer Steel PEB Systems over RCC (concrete) construction.
Why?
Because PEB offers:
Faster construction
Lower cost
Longer lifespan
Better structural performance
Higher flexibility
Easy expansion options
In 2025, Steel PEB Systems have become the preferred choice for new factories due to increasing industrial competition, high land costs, and the need for rapid setup.
ποΈ What Is a Steel PEB System?
A Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) is a steel structure designed, fabricated, and manufactured in a controlled factory environment.
It is then transported and assembled on-site using bolted connections.
A PEB consists of:
Primary Members
Columns
Rafters
Tapered beams
Secondary Members
Z-purlins
C-girts
Eave struts
Cladding
Pre-painted galvanized steel sheets
Sandwich panels
Accessories
Skylights
Insulation
Ventilators
Rolling shutters
Steel louvers
PEB allows large clear spans, fast construction, and customizable layoutsβmaking them perfect for factory structures.
βοΈ H2: Key Features of Steel PEB Systems for New Factories
1οΈβ£ Quick Construction β 60% Faster π
A traditional RCC building may take up to 12 months, while a PEB factory can be completed within 60β90 days.
Benefits:
Faster production start
Reduced labor cost
Faster return on investment
2οΈβ£ Low Cost β Save 25β35% π°
PEB structures are significantly more economical because of:
