PEB Structure | Pre-Engineered Building Solutions
What is a PEB structure?
PEB Structure stands for Pre-Engineered Building. It is an innovative construction system. All components are precision-designed and fabricated in a factory, then transported to the site for rapid assembly. This method optimizes material usage and construction efficiency. It is particularly suited for industrial buildings.

|---|---|---|
|
Construction Costs |
· Optimized design reduces steel consumption · Standardized production lowers manufacturing costs · Simpler foundation requirements save on civil engineering costs |
· High demand for materials and on-site labor |
|
Construction Speed |
Foundation construction and steel structure prefabrication are carried out simultaneously, resulting in faster progress. |
Due to the slow speed of on-site pouring and curing. |
|
Design flexibility |
· Easily customizable span, height, and layout to meet specific functional requirements · Relatively easy to expand or relocate in the future. |
Once built, the layout is almost impossible to change |
|
Quality and Durability |
Core components are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, ensuring high precision and consistent quality. |
The quality is greatly affected by the worker’s skill level, material ratio, and maintenance conditions, and is prone to quality problems such as cracks. |
|
Environmental Impact |
The steel is 100% recyclable. Construction waste is minimal, with little impact on the surrounding environment. |
It generates a large amount of construction waste, and the concrete is difficult to recycle after demolition, so it is mostly disposed of by landfill. |
The Key Components of PEB Structure
The PEB system achieves low construction costs, short project cycles, and high-quality buildings through optimized component design, efficient factory prefabrication, and rapid on-site assembly.
The PEB steel structure system mainly comprises the following three types of precisely designed components:
Primary members
The main steel frame forms the main columns and rafters, serving as the building’s “skeleton” and bearing the core load. It is constructed of high-strength H-beams and features a multi-segment structure. The main steel frame design typically features clear spans or multiple spans, with tapered or straight profiles. K-HOME uses steel that meets GB Chinese standards and has international compatibility.

Secondary Members
Utilizing cold-formed Z-shaped and C-shaped steel, this structure serves as purlins, wall beams, etc., supporting the roofing layer and transferring loads to the main structure.

Cladding Layer
Made of roll-formed steel sheets, this layer serves as the roof and walls, providing enclosure functionality and can be integrated with insulation layers as needed. Insulation materials include polyurethane, fiberglass, or rock wool to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort.

Foundation Connections
Embedded parts: Key fasteners in concrete foundations.
Column base joints: Hinged connections only transmit vertical forces, while rigid connections can transmit bending moments.
| Component Structure | Material | Technical Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Main Steel Structure | GJ / Q355B Steel | H-beam, Customized height according to building requirements |
| Secondary Steel Structure | Q235B; Paint or Hot Dip Gavalnized | H-beam, Spans range from 10 to 50 meters, depending on design |

Different Types of Pre-Engineered Buildings
Based on functional requirements and span specifications, three typical structural systems are primarily adopted:
1. Portal Frame System: The mainstream structural form for single-story factory buildings. Columns and beams are rigidly connected to form a “portal”-shaped frame. Specifically, it is divided into three typical configurations: Basic type (without crane) Crane-equipped type (with crane beam system) Partial two-story type (additional floors or mezzanines in some areas)
2. Multi-story Frame System: Suitable for high-rise or large-span requirements. Mainly divided into three categories: Pure rigid frame (rigid connection in both longitudinal and transverse directions) Rigid-braced hybrid system (transverse rigid connection + longitudinal bracing) Fully braced frame (fully hinged + bracing system) Column cross-sections can be H-shaped, box-shaped, etc.
3. Special Derivative Forms: Gable frame: Column cross-section rotated 90 degrees for special design. Steel truss structure: Axial force on members, span can reach over 100 meters. Space frame/shell structure: Flat or curved grid, suitable for large-space roofs.
Khome prefers portal frame systems and has extensive project experience in this field, with project cases in multiple countries worldwide.

Applications of Our PEB Steel Structure
Prefabricated steel structure buildings have become the first choice for modern industrial buildings due to their advantages such as high strength, fast construction, flexible space, environmental protection and energy saving, and are widely used in many scenarios.
Manufacturing and Industrial Plants
PEB steel structure buildings are essential facilities in modern manufacturing. They securely store raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished goods. Their robust structure easily supports heavy machinery and tall racking.
But their real advantage lies in flexibility. Our designed steel warehouse& workshop integrates your production lines and storage areas within a column-free space. This creates a smooth workflow. It reduces material handling, simplifies operations, and increases efficiency.

Logistics and Distribution Centers
PEB structure are ideal for logistics and distribution warehouse. Because they provide the large, open space you need. These clear-span buildings have no internal columns getting in the way.
This open layout makes it easy to organize goods. Forklifts and trucks can move and turn freely, which speeds up loading and unloading. This means you can move more goods in less time, which is the main goal of any distribution business.
Retail and Bulk Storage Superstores
PEB steel buildings are a safe and strong choice for retail and bulk storage. They are built to handle heavy loads and protect your goods from harsh weather. Because steel is fire-resistant, it adds a critical layer of safety for your inventory. This makes a steel building a reliable and ideal solution for securing your products, whether you run a retail store or a large storage facility.
Agriculture and Special Construction
Pre engineered buildings are ideal for agricultural Construction. They are commonly used as warehouses and granaries for storing agricultural machinery and grain. These buildings can also serve as wholesale markets for agricultural products. Their spacious, open layout and robust, durable design meet the needs of modern agricultural product sales.
