JBFS Engineering Systems Pre-Engineered steel structures outlast severe weather conditions

The Pre-Engineered Buildings maintain their appearance and functionality throughout the life of the building due to, the quality built into the process and the raw materials used says Mr. Ramesh Bothra, Director and CEO, JBFS Engineering Systems Pvt. Ltd.

What are the long-term benefits of a pre-engineered steel structure?

The Pre-Engineered steel structures have witnessed a high adoption rate supported by the long-term advantages. It provides to customers, thus making it an option for ideal construction in just about any context. The PEB structural components at our manufacturing facility are made using specific fully automated CNC machines, which enable a clear and concise construction with preconfigured structural elements using advanced software. The process focuses on long-lasting, reliable and low maintenance steel structures, which are dependable and unyielding. The Pre-Engineered Buildings have an added advantage of modularity, allowing quick and easy expansion, guided by future industry requirements. JBFS Engineering Systems lay out the unique advantage of providing an integrated solution being the one-stop manufacturer for all the PEB components.

What are some of the methods to prevent the oxidation of steel and metals and ensure pre-engineered structures remain protected from corrosion?

The JBFS Engineering Systems Pre-Engineered steel structures are designed and manufactured to be a testament to the test of time and outlasting the severe weather conditions. The Pre-Engineered Buildings maintain their appearance and functionality throughout the life of the building due to the quality built into the process and the raw materials used. To protect the steel structures from oxidation and corrosion, the steel sections are coated with Zinc or Red-Oxide. All these processes are undertaken to provide a hassle-free structure with minimum maintenance and eliminates the need to paint every few years.

What is the role of PEB in making houses, warehouses, modern industrial buildings and industrial sheds more affordable?

The PEB industry has disrupted the consumer expectation and redefined affordability for construction. With the increasing acceptability and gaining popularity, the Pre-Engineered Buildings have ventured into many other applications for different industry segments. To little surprise, manufacturers are on their toes to improve their offerings and ensure affordability to consumers. The construction at JBFS Engineering Systems takes a systematic approach, with every step planned and executed in harmony, to reduce cost and construction time. JBFS Engineering Systems has been able to achieve economies of scale and further invest in highly sophisticated manufacturing facilities, equipped with fully automated production that is empowering us to deliver higher volumes at lower rates within minimal lead time.

What impact has the prices of steel had on the cost of PEB structures, what kind of pricing trend is foreseeable for the next three quarters? What kind of products do you offer for the PEB segment?

Steel forms a major component and key raw material of any Pre-Engineered Building. The volatility of the current steel prices has had an impact on the cost of PEB structures. The volatility of steel prices is expected to continue till the next quarter but expected to stabilize for the remaining two quarters. JBFS Engineering Systems has been able to shield its client from the volatility and provide a consistent experience through the numerous MoUs signed with raw material manufacturers and other service providers.
