Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) & Steel Structures

What are Pre-Engineered Buildings

Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) are custom-designed steel structure buildings that are fabricated in a controlled factory environment and assembled efficiently on-site. Each structure includes primary and secondary members, cladding, and accessories, engineered to ensure speed, cost efficiency, and lasting quality.

In Malaysia, pre-engineered metal buildings are widely adopted for industrial steel buildings, modular buildings, and large commercial facilities, offering strength, flexibility, and long-term performance suited to local construction needs.

Specifications of Pre-Engineered Buildings

1. Primary Frame

Made of high-strength steel, built-up sections.
Frames designed as clear span or multi-span with tapered or straight profiles.
Grade: ASTM A572 or equivalent with a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa.

2. Secondary Members

Purlins and Girts: Cold-formed “Z” or “C” sections made of galvanized or pre-painted steel.
Eave Struts: Cold-formed sections.
Designed to provide stability and support to roof and wall panels.

3. Roofing System

Material: Galvalume-coated steel or pre-painted steel sheets.
Types: Standing seam, trapezoidal, or corrugated profiles.
Insulation: Polyurethane, fiberglass, or rock wool insulation for energy efficiency and thermal comfort.

4. Wall Cladding

Material: Pre-painted galvanized steel or aluminum sheets.
Profiles: Flat, ribbed, or corrugated.
Optional: Sandwich panels for enhanced insulation and aesthetics.

5. Structural Connections

High-tensile bolts for primary frame connections.
Galvanized or painted fasteners for secondary and cladding connections.

6. Design Standards

Structural Design: Conforms to international codes (e.g., AISC, ASCE, BS, Eurocode).
Wind and Seismic: Engineered for local conditions.
Loadings: Dead load, live load, collateral load, wind load, and seismic load considerations.

7. Clear Span and Height

Span: Up to 100 meters or more without intermediate columns.
Height: Customized to project requirements, typically 6 to 30 meters.

8. Building Accessories

Ridge vents, turbo ventilators, skylights, louvers, and canopies.
Options for mezzanine floors, crane systems, and dock-levelers.

9.Durability and Finishes

Corrosion-resistant coatings (primer + top coat).
Optional hot-dip galvanization for high-humidity environments.
Warranty options for roof and wall cladding.

10.Sustainability

Optimized steel usage for reduced material wastage.
Recyclable materials for eco-friendly construction.
Energy-efficient insulation and ventilation systems.

Faq

Q: Are Nova Buildings Malaysia’s PEB Systems weatherproof?

Yes. Nova Buildings Malaysia delivers pre-engineered steel buildings designed to withstand Malaysia’s tropical climate — including high humidity, heavy rainfall, and varying temperatures. Each structure is engineered to meet site-specific environmental and usage requirements, ensuring long-lasting durability and dependable performance across industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Can Nova Buildings Malaysia provide portable units for field offices, stores, and small workshops?

Yes. Nova Buildings Malaysia offers pre-engineered steel buildings designed for fast assembly using bolted connections. These buildings can be easily dismantled, relocated, and reassembled, making them ideal for temporary or mobile use. We also provide modular units that can be transported by truck, offering flexible and practical solutions for field offices, storage facilities, and small workshops serving different industries.

Q: Is there any limitation on the minimum size of a building structure?

No. Nova Buildings Malaysia provides pre-engineered steel structures of all sizes — from compact car park shelters to large-scale industrial complexes spanning thousands of square meters. Our adaptable PEB systems are designed to meet diverse project requirements, offering durable and cost-effective solutions for both small and large developments.

What is the main difference between conventional steel and Nova Buildings Malaysia’s pre-engineered steel?

Nova Buildings Malaysia supplies complete, ready-to-assemble pre-engineered steel buildings that include primary and secondary members, cladding, and all required accessories. Unlike conventional steel structures that rely on extensive on-site fabrication and welding, our PEB systems use precision-engineered components connected with nuts and bolts for fast, clean installation. This shortens construction time, enhances accuracy, and ensures consistent build quality. Optimized through advanced design, our PEB solutions are durable, efficient, and ideal for warehouses, modular buildings, and a wide range of industrial applications.
