A PEB offer is basically the total calculated value of construction of a Pre-Engineered steel structure that a vendor provides to the customer. Such offers include the total value of the construction of the project along with details like the material type and cost of accessories, sheet purlin, cost of transportation, GST, design parameters and so on. Every vendor quotes their offers differently.

In this blog, we are going to discuss the five steps to follow while evaluating a PEB offer so that one can have their Pre-Engineered steel building constructed at a profitable rate without any hassles.

1. Material specifications in the PEB offer

One of the most basic steps, when one starts to compare and evaluate their PEB offers, is to check structures with technical details such as the material specifications provided in the offer. This includes the sheet purlin, MPA, sheet thickness and other such details. In the case of purlin, one has to check whether the offer specifies a galvanized purlin or a hot wood purlin. If the offer includes wood purlin one should ask the PEB vendor to upgrade it to a galvanized purlin because they are lightweight, precise and straight. They expand and contract considerably in extreme temperature alterations which bring stability to the overall steel building.

2. Design parameters of the PEB construction

Every Pre-Engineered building should be designed as per the geographical location of the site, wind speed in the area, the load that it would need to bear, whether the site of construction falls in an earthquake zone and so on. The design parameters of the Pre-Engineered steel building are altered and modified on the basis of these factors. One should, therefore, make sure that the designs specified in the PEB offer compliments and supports their requirements, in order to construct a safe and efficient steel building.

3. Be sure of the Inclusions and Exclusions in the Pre-Engineered building offer

Different PEB vendors frame their offers in different ways, including their basic services to the additional expenses that the individual has to bear. So, one should ask for a clear list of the extra services or materials that they have to pay for including the basic price of the construction.

4. Cost of Transportation and GST

Make sure to ask the PEB vendor for a clear cost of transportation of the materials from the manufacturing plant to the site of construction. Some vendors include the GST prices while framing their PEB offer while others don't. So, remember to ask them whether they have included or excluded the GST while framing their offer and if not, then calculate the prices inclusive of it while comparing the overall expenses. Also, make sure to ask them about the prices of the accessories, like skylights, turbulent and so on, and know whether their prices are included in the basic offer of the PEB project or not.

Such additional expenses like the cost of transportation, GST and others, can bring about a significant difference in the overall cost of construction or the Pre-Engineered steel building and so the offers should be evaluated after including all these expenses. 

5. The total value of construction of the PEB project

Among the five things to check while evaluating a PEB offer, knowing the total value of construction is of foremost importance. At the end of everything, one aims to find an efficient offer that would help him to complete a Pre-Engineered Building project safely and cost-effectively. So it is important to know the total cost of construction of the project irrespective of the cost per square feet and other such details. One should ask their vendor for a clear total value of construction of the entire PEB project and then evaluate the various offers on the basis of this cost value.

We hope that the aforesaid information will help one to evaluate the offers for their PEB project in the future and to find the most promising and cost-effective proposals.
