Pre-Engineered Buildings

Think beyond the frame.

The starting point is how the building will be used: the space people need, the equipment it houses and the way materials move through it. A clear operational brief lets the structural system and envelope be considered together. Roofings’ PEB offering combines welded I-section framing, cold-formed secondary members and cladding.

Primary framing

Welded I-section columns and rafters form the main frame. Establish the required span, clear height, bay spacing and design loads before member sizes and connections are developed.

Secondary members

Z and C members, purlins, girts, eave struts and bracing support the envelope and contribute to the designed structural system. Coordinate these with cladding spans and openings.

Roof & wall envelope

Select the roofing and wall package around weather exposure, internal conditions and project performance requirements. Interfaces with doors, ventilation and penetrations need to be resolved alongside the steel.

Designed around your operation

Space that supports
the way you work.

Column positions, clear heights and access routes shape the usefulness of a building. Discuss storage, equipment and material movement alongside the structural layout so the space is considered from the start.

  • Clear heights and working space
  • Mezzanine and equipment interfaces
  • Openings and access requirements

Scope & coordination

Configure around the way you work.

Roofings offers structural additions that can be included when specified and engineered for the building. Establish their loads, geometry and interfaces early rather than adding them after the main frame has been agreed.

Mezzanine systems

Define the intended use, floor loading, access, headroom and equipment requirements. The structure should accommodate the agreed operating conditions and material flow.

Jack beams

An option for layouts requiring a longer unobstructed bay. Their suitability and arrangement follow the project-specific engineering review.

Crane-support steelwork

Roofings’ supply scope includes support brackets and runway beams. Provide the crane manufacturer’s loads and operating data; confirm the crane equipment scope separately.

Canopies, extensions & platforms

Discuss entrance canopies, roof extensions, fascias, internal partitions, monitors and roof platforms together with the building layout.

Frame to envelope

Bring the whole
building together.

The frame, secondary supports and cladding need to work as a coordinated package. Establish the roof and wall specification, finishes and openings alongside the building geometry.

  • Coordinated structural and cladding scope
  • Project-specific roof and wall requirements
  • Defined delivery and site responsibilities

From brief to delivery

A defined process.
Clear responsibilities.

Brief & layout

Share the use, geometry and operational requirements. Agree the scope and information needed to develop the building.

Design & coordination

Resolve the structural basis, secondary members, openings and envelope interfaces before fabrication documentation is finalized.

Manufacture & protection

Prepare the approved steel components, connection details and specified surface protection through the manufacturing process.

Pack & deliver

Confirm delivery destination, sequence, component handling and receiving responsibilities with the project team.

Agree the design, supply, site support and approval responsibilities in the proposal. Programme and delivery arrangements follow the agreed scope and project information.

Prepare your enquiry

Send the brief.
Start the conversation.

Share what is available, from an outline requirement to a detailed drawing package. Identify missing information so the team can clarify the next step.

Pre-Engineered Buildings FAQs

Answers before
you commit to the scope.

What is a pre-engineered steel building?

It is a steel building system in which the primary framing, secondary members and envelope are designed and coordinated for the agreed building requirements. Factory-produced components are then supplied for assembly according to the project documentation.

Can a PEB include a mezzanine?

Yes, a mezzanine can be considered within the engineered scope. Share its use, loading, equipment and clearance requirements so it can be coordinated with the main building.

Does Roofings supply the crane itself?

The PEB scope identifies supporting brackets and crane runway beams. Crane equipment, controls and related responsibilities should be confirmed separately in the proposal.

What affects the cost of a PEB?

Geometry, loads, steel quantities, cladding, additional systems, protection requirements and delivery scope all affect the proposal. Supply the available brief so the team can review the actual requirement.

Can I request a clear-span or unusual layout?

Share the desired operational space and any restrictions on internal columns. The engineering team should assess the arrangement against the site conditions, loads and project requirements.

Does RME provide erection, and are foundations included?

RME provides design, steel supply, erection and site supervision. Foundations, civil works, unloading and lifting arrangements must be identified separately in the quotation and coordinated with the main contractor.

From design to site

Design. Manufacture. Supply. Install.

Engineering & detailing

Building design, structural analysis, modelling and fabrication drawings connect the project brief to manufacturing.

Manufacturing & supply

Welded primary frames, secondary members and roof and wall systems are prepared for the agreed steel-building package.

Erection & installation

RME provides steel-building erection and roof and wall cladding installation, coordinated with the project drawings and site sequence.

Site supervision

Site supervision supports the coordination of erection and installation activities. The proposal defines the site deliverables and interfaces with other contractors.

Foundations, civil works, unloading, lifting arrangements and crane machinery are identified separately in the project scope. Crane-support steelwork does not include the crane equipment itself.
