Specification

Specified to the micron.

Eave height
Up to 30 m
Measured from bottom of base plate to top of the eave strut.
Economical bay
7.5 – 8.5 m
Most economical interior bay length in the PEB industry.
Ideal roof slope
1 / 10
Any practical roof slope is possible.

Property	Parameter
Building width	Outside of eave strut/purlin of one sidewall to outside of eave strut of the opposite sidewall
Building length	Sum of all bay lengths; end bays shorter than interior bays for maximum economy
Interior bay length	Commonly 6, 7.5, 8, 9 and 10 m
End bay length	Limit to 6 m or less, with by-pass endwall girts
Typical purlin spacing	1500 mm, higher or lower as required by design
Ridge purlin spacing	600 mm, to accommodate 600 mm ridge gravity ventilators

Eave purlin spacing is the balance of all purlin spacings unless it exceeds 1500 mm, in which case it is divided into two spaces.

Structure
Every member, engineered.
Interior rigid frames, endwall bearing or rigid frames, endwall wind columns, secondary members — roof purlins and wall girts — wind bracing, anchor bolts, connection bolts and sag rods.
Subsystems
Built into the frame, not bolted on after.
Roof monitors, mezzanines including deck and deck fasteners, roof extensions, canopies, fascias, parapets, interior partitions, and roof and wall framed openings.
Programme
Cost and time, both.
The most distinctive advantages of a pre-engineered steel building are cost effectiveness in material and time efficiency in fabrication and erection.
