PEB (Pre-Engineered Steel Building System)

15/09/2019

Pre-Engineered Steel Building System is expanding possibilities for Construction

Most of us have seen factory sheds and warehouses quickly constructed with steel trusses and metal sheet roofs. These are close examples of Pre-Engineered Steel Building (PEB) System. Over the years, PEB has gotten more advanced and is slowly making inroads into High-rise Offices, Condos and Apartment complexes in India. One famous high-rise PEB office complex is that of NetApp in Whitefield, Bangalore.

Sharing some images here of a new PEB construction underway in Kerala for IT Offices. For the overhead roofing, they use Deck Sheets on which one can pour concrete and make it a normal RCC roof. The speed of construction is just mind boggling.

The PEB steel structures are fabricated in factories and quickly assembled at site. There are a few leading brands and international players in PEB. If anyone is interested to learn more, just message here and I can connect you with the right experts.

Trivia: In the God forbid event that your PEB building is demolished, you can sell the steel and recover at least 50% of the costs. No other construction can give you this advantage :)

Enjoy the image show!!

Looking for Cost Effective and Quick Construction of your property? Learn more about the GFRG Panel method.

You own or have access to a nice piece of land and it is about time to develop it. Based on the land area and location, you are looking at several development options like Constructing house(s), apartment complex, commercial complex, School and a few more.

Quickly, you make your calculations, analyze market and decide on what you want to do. The next step will be to bring a builder on-board and start the construction using traditional brick and mortar. I would like to ask you to pause here for a moment and consider other construction methods currently available.

An alternate method that is fast gaining popularity in India is GFRG (Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum) panels. The name can be misleading to mean some Asbestos kind of material. But in reality, it is a very strong construction material that has a life expectancy which is usually more than a regular brick and cement building.

What’s more you save on time of construction as these panels are precast and assembled on site, saves you costs, Keeps the interiors cooler. Moreover costs are very predictable, unlike in traditional construction where price and supply fluctuations of Cement, Sand and Steel often happens during the course of construction.

Costs of single housing units are comparable to traditional building. However, you save huge on multi-family units and large scale build projects.

More on this interesting technology will be coming soon on this page, so watch out for the updates. Until then take a look at some real GFRG Construction pics.

Bye and Enjoy your day!!

ARE PROPERTY MANAGERS STILL RELEVANT IN THE AGE OF APPs AND INTERNET COMMUNICATION?

Today with internet, online payments and communication tools, it is easy for landlords in another location to make Property tax payments and to have the rentals from tenants directly deposited to their accounts. There are online legal services to draft and sign Rental Agreements between the owner and tenants. Owners can post To-Let ads on online classifieds and look out for tenants. By using handyman services Apps, landlords can get services like Deep cleaning and other chores.

So, does the online conveniences today make the Property Manager’s role irrelevant? My answer is a Big NO.

The biggest advantage for a Property Manager is his physical presence and there is still no virtual substitute to someone actually visiting on-site. Of course, there is a friend or relative nearby, but engaging them regularly for free could cost much more 😃. But again, they may not know the nuances of managing property related issues.

The role of an expert Property Manager becomes even critical when we take Multi-tenanted houses as well as for company properties. For a business renting out their service apartments or owning guest houses, there is an acute need for an expert hand to manage the property on behalf of the business.

An ideal property manager is the Landlord’s representative and does everything possible to ensure his Customers remain carefe and profitable. There are many critical on-site jobs performed by an expert Property Manager which cannot be done remotely.

- Tenant On-Boarding: From publishing ads and coordinating with agents, to showing the property to many prospects, to helping the new tenants settle down in the new home, there is a need for an expert who has been there and done that.

- Inventory Management: Keeping and maintaining a detailed Inventory of the property - noting down all fittings, fixtures, damages and the general state in the property is an important activity to avoid losses in the long run.

- Tenant Exit: When a tenant vacates, to do a thorough check of the property like condition of toilets, paint work, kitchen, floors, walls, fixtures and furniture. Calculate the fair costs of fixing the damages and then discuss and get consent from tenant before making the final settlement after deducting any unpaid bills, unpaid rent, and costs of repairs etc.

- Tenant Management: Tenants come in all shapes and sizes. There are always cases of tenants taking advantage of owner’s physical absence to damage property, cause nuisance to neighbors, to give excuse and not pay rents on time, to sublet or cohabit with many more members than what they have signed up for, or use premises for immoral and illegal activities. You will need a firm but polite property manager to ensure property is always safe and secure.

- Tenant Complaints: Complaints need to be responded and resolved promptly. After all, every Landlord is a business owner who needs to keep his clients happy. But someone needs to check in on the genuineness of the complaint and costs if any etc.

- Neighbors and Association complaints: Someone should be present to resolve complaints on behalf of the House owner.

- Ongoing Property Management- Regular and ad-hoc inspection of property will ensure its long term well being.

- Rent analysis – Provide local rental information to Owners from time to time. Guide the house owners about on-going rentals in the neighborhood. Possibility of annual rent increments etc.

- Unexpected Events – Then there are damages caused by civil works happening in the area that obstruct services to property and cause suffering to tenants. Or there is a need to liaise with local bodies to ensure property documents are up to date. Or represent the owner at civic bodies to apply for services etc.

A good Property Manager goes above and beyond the above to ensure the property is looked after well, so the owners can sleep easy. The monthly retainer paid for the property manager’s services pays back many times over in the long run.

Let me know your thoughts and share with your friends if you found this info useful.

Had answered a property related query on Quora, sharing it here.

Leo Christo's answer: If you can build your own house, that’s great. I would compare buying a pre-built house or own-built house to buying a ready-made suit or going for a tailored suit. Convenience is clearly with pre-built house or apartment, where a builder takes care or all approvals and cons....

Be Careful while buying a Pre-Built independent Home or Apartment

Recently one of my friends working in IT, wanted me to construct 2 floors on top of his ground floor house. He bought this house from a builder some 5 years back. The walls of his building had several cracks, which were not air-cracks, but structural cracks on the walls. On closer inspection with my Structural expert, we realized that the construction was not done scientifically. There were no Pillar or Beams, or load bearing red brick walls.

To satisfy "vaastu" the builder has located a huge water sump in the NE corner but as per his building design, the foundation of one bedroom was sitting right on top of the sump. The floor of the bedroom providing most of the sump top cover. This is also causing perennial dampness in his bedroom leading to fungus growth on the walls.

Sump is always filled with water and emanates moisture to the vicinity. This has caused the earth next to the sump to become damp and soft causing the building foundation itself to sink a few inches on sump side, causing the cracks.

We have advised him to not pursue constructing the top floors. Since the structure cannot bear the weight of the new construction. There is also not much space around to put reinforcement structures. The best way forward is to seal the cracks using skillful masonry and repaint the interiors. So the eye sore is taken care of.

There are a few things you can take care of while buying a pre-built home so that your hard earned money stays a good investment. I will talk about it my next post. Take care..
