Pre-engineered building is a highly popular building method, especially for large-scale projects such as factories, farms, and high-rise buildings. Many investors either independently plan and use services from small construction firms or opt for turnkey solutions from specialized pre-engineered steel building construction companies. What are the pros and cons of these two options, and how should one decide? Let’s explore this in the following article.
1. Comparing independent planning and hiring a small construction firm versus selecting a specialized pre-engineered steel building construction company for all stages
The most apparent advantage of independently planning and then seeking services from small construction firms is cost savings. However, this choice entails several issues:
- Regarding design and technical drawings: Prefab steel building, while having a simple structure, requires strong technical expertise to calculate technical parameters accurately, such as loads, load-bearing capacities, structural balance, as well as architectural details, aesthetics, and future expansion capabilities. To achieve this, investors need to understand pre-engineered steel building construction techniques and possess skills in using specialized design software.
- Regarding production and component fabrication, material quality: When choosing to plan independently and hiring small construction firms to save costs, investors will spend a lot of time selecting materials and checking their quality, or may not be able to do so due to a lack of understanding of the materials. Consequently, the project may deteriorate rapidly and become unsafe due to the use of low-quality materials.
- Regarding steel structure installation: Although prefabricated steel buildings are assembled from pre-manufactured components more quickly and simply than traditional construction methods, the steel structure installation still requires skilled labor to ensure accuracy and safety throughout the construction process. When collaborating with small construction firms, investors cannot control the quality of labor. In case of problems, small construction firms may not have the capacity to handle them.
To address these issues, choosing a professional company specializing in pre-engineered building construction is essential. This not only helps investors save a lot of time through comprehensive services from design, production and fabrication to installation but also ensures better construction quality thanks to experienced engineers, modern machinery and software, high-quality materials, and strict construction supervision processes. Professional construction firms also provide warranty packages for several years, giving investors more peace of mind about the longevity of the project.

2. Pebsteel – Specialized provider of prefabricated steel building design and construction services
Pebsteel (headquartered in Europe) is a company specializing in providing comprehensive solutions, from Structural Steel Design to Fabrication and Erection (for instance shed fabrication) in the field of pre-engineered steel building construction. With seven large factories in Asia, each with a capacity of up to 100,000 tons of steel per year and a reserve of up to 10,000 tons of raw materials, Pebsteel has completed over 6,000 projects in many countries since 1994.
Pebsteel’s raw materials are imported from major countries with full quality certifications such as Japan, South Korea, and China. All materials meet ASTM (USA) quality standards.
With Pebsteel, you will receive comprehensive solutions from over 100 experienced engineers. Pebsteel Vietnam is also proud to be a company applying the latest international design standards such as MBMA, AISC, AWC, AISI, and IBC.
All components of a pre-engineered steel building are processed and quality-checked directly at the factory before being transported to the construction site for assembly. The quality inspection process includes crucial steps such as checking welds using MPI (magnetic particle inspection), U.I.U.I (ultrasonic inspection), metal surface cleaning with S.A-2 metal spraying before painting, protective paint spraying, and quality inspection after painting. Pebsteel also provides a 3-year warranty for materials and a 10-year warranty for structures, while committing to always meeting construction deadlines.
Pebsteel is also a company constantly improving its products and technology to cope with climate change. Among these improvements, special products such as LokSeam® and PebSeam128® fold and lock roofing sheets without screws, providing the best rust resistance; Hyper180® material imported from South Korea for roofing sheets that can retain color for up to 310 years; Silver270180® material for roofing sheets and rafters imported from Japan, capable of corrosion resistance even in harsh environmental conditions, etc
Furthermore, Pebsteel ensures strict compliance with labor safety standards, evidenced by over 6000 projects with no recorded workplace accidents.
