Clear-span
No interior columns. Best for flexible layouts; steel weight rises with span.
PEB Configurations
Configurations
The right configuration depends on the use, the span you need and how the building may grow.
Multi-span
Interior columns divide the span; often economical for very wide buildings where columns are acceptable.
Single-slope
One roof slope; simple drainage to one side; suits narrower buildings and lean-to extensions.
Gable roof
Symmetrical double slope; the most common PEB form.
Lean-to
A smaller structure leaning on the main building; used for extensions and canopies.
Crane-supported
Frames and runway beams designed for overhead cranes.
Mezzanine
Intermediate floors for offices or storage inside the building.
High-clearance
Tall eave heights for racking, equipment or large vehicles.

Information we will need for a quotation
This tool does not calculate steel tonnage, member sizes, foundation loads, prices or container quantities. Those require a structural design based on your site, applicable codes and project data.
