In recent years, the introduction of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) design of structures has been as an optimised alternative for the design of sheds. The adoption of PEB design concept instead of use of conventional rolled section resulted in many advantages as the members are designed as per bending moment diagram thereby reducing the material requirement. This methodology is versatile not only due to its quality of predesigning and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction. This concept has many advantages over the conventional method involving buildings with roof trusses. In this study, an industrial structure is analysed and designed according to the Indian standards. One model each for PEB and Conventional sections is considered for analysis using rolled, fabricated, cold formed sections and parametric study is carried out to assess the cost effectiveness. Comparison is made in terms of weight, cost and time of material procurement, fabrication, transportation & construction.
