Step-by-Step: How a Pre-Engineered Metal Building is Constructed

Step-by-Step: How a Pre-Engineered Metal Building is Constructed

Posted on: Jun 14, 2025

If you have ever passed by a clean-looking warehouse, factory, or storage unit and thought, “That went up fast!”, chances are - it’s a pre engineered metal building.

Today, more and more businesses in India are choosing these smart steel buildings over traditional construction. And it’s easy to see why: they’re quick to build, cost-efficient, and incredibly durable.

At Bansal Poles Limited, we have been designing and building these PEB structures for years, and in this post, we are walking you through how exactly a pre-engineered metal building comes to life - from start to finish.

Step 1: Understanding What You Need

Every great structure starts with a conversation. Before we pick up any tools or draw any designs, we sit with our clients to understand:

• What kind of space do you need?
• Is it a warehouse, factory, showroom - or maybe a PEB shed?
• What’s the location like?
• Do you need insulation or special ventilation?

This helps us create a structure that fits your vision, perfectly.

Step 2: Smart Design & Engineering

Next, our in-house engineers start sketching out the bones of your building. Using advanced design software, we create detailed plans that include:

• Steel frames and joints
• Roof slope and wind resistance
• Load-bearing calculations
• And all the little things you may not even think about, but matter

This phase is crucial because it ensures your PEB structure will stand strong for decades.

Step 3: Manufacturing the Parts

Here’s where the magic really begins.
Once your design is locked in, we head to our factory floor to fabricate each piece—columns, beams, wall panels, bolts—you name it. Using high-grade steel and precision equipment, we make sure every part is strong, corrosion-resistant, and ready to be assembled.
Each component is labeled and packed so the construction team can easily put it all together—no confusion, no mess.

Step 4: Getting Everything to the Site

With all parts manufactured and double-checked, we carefully transport them to your construction site. Since it’s all pre-engineered and pre-fabricated, there’s very little waste and no surprises.

Step 5: Preparing the Site

While the steel is in transit, our site team prepares the foundation. We make sure the land is level and the anchor bolts are placed perfectly, according to the plan. This step sets the stage for everything else.

Step 6: Assembling the Steel Frame

Now comes the part most people love watching—the actual structure rising!
Using cranes and skilled technicians, we begin assembling the frame:

1. First the columns go up
2. Then the rafters and beams
3. Next, the secondary frames and bracing

It’s like putting together a giant 3D puzzle - but much heavier!

Step 7: Roof and Wall Installation

Once the frame is secure, we add the outer layers—roof sheets, side panels, insulation, and even gutters. This seals the building and protects it from rain, heat, and everything in between.

Step 8: Final Touches and Handover

Now we are in the final stretch. Before handing over the keys, we run final safety checks and inspections.
And just like that, your pre engineered metal building is ready for action - whether you’re storing inventory, setting up machines, or creating office space.
