Cost of Change Orders
|
PEB manufacturers often stock a large amount of basic raw materials that can be flexibly used in many types of PEB projects. Change orders are easily accommodated at all stages of the order fulfillment process. Little or no material is wasted even if a change order is made after fabrication starts.
|
Substitution of hot rolled sections, that are infrequently rolled by mills, is expensive and time consuming. Changes orders that are made, after hot rolled sections are shipped for fabrication, often result in redundancies to a lot of hot rolled sections, which ultimately results in more cost to the enduser.

|
Building Accessories
|
Designed to fit the system, with standardized interchangeable parts, including pre-designed flashing and trims. They are mass produced for economy and are available with the building. They have been tried in thousands of existing buildings.
|
Every project requires special design for accessories and special sourcing for each item. Flashing and trims must be uniquely designed and fabricated.
|
|
Future Expansions
|
All project records are kept in electronic format indefinitely, making it easy for the owner or designer to obtain a copy of his building records at any time. Future expansion is simple, easy and cost effective. One supplier can co-ordinate changes.
|
It would be difficult to obtain project records, after a long period of time.
It is required to contact more than one party, involved in the project, to obtain accurate information. Future expansion would be more difficult and, more likely, costlier

|
Responsibility
|
Single source of supply results in total responsibility by one supplier, including design liability . PEB manufacturers can be relied upon to service their reputation.
|
Multiple responsibilities can result in questions of who is responsible when components do not fit properly, insufficient material is supplied, or materials fail to perform, particularly at the supplier/contractor interface. The Consultant carries total design liability.
|
|
Performance
|
All components have been specified and designed specifically to act together as a system, for maximum efficiency, precise fit, and peak performance in the field. Experience with similar buildings, in actual field conditions worldwide, has resulted in design improvements over time, which allow dependable prediction of performance.
|
Components are custom designed for specific application on specific job. Design and detailing errors are possible when assembling, the diverse components into unique buildings. Each building design is unique, so prediction of hoc components will perform together is uncertain. Materials which have performed well in some climates may not do so in other environments.
