WE ARE A FULL SERVICE ENGINEERING FIRM THAT SPECIALIZES IN DESIGN BUILD FOR MID RISE TILT UP AND METAL BUILDINGS FOR AMENITY CENTERS, MEDICAL OFFICES, BUSINESS OFFICES, RESTAURANTS, RETAIL, AND INDUSTRIAL.

PEMB involves the use of factory-built steel components, which are pre-manufactured and then assembled on-site. These buildings are typically used for warehouses, commercial buildings, and industrial structures.

Cost Factors for PEMB:

• Lower Material Costs: Steel components are generally less expensive than      traditional construction materials like concrete and brick.
• Faster Construction Time: The prefabricated nature of PEMBs allows for quicker assembly, which reduces labor costs.
• Simpler Foundations: PEMBs usually require less extensive foundations, which      can reduce costs.
• Design Flexibility: PEMBs are more adaptable to standard building shapes      (such as rectangular designs), but customization can add to costs.

Estimated Cost Range:

• Low End: $20 to $30 per square foot (for basic designs and minimal custom work).
• High End: $30 to $50+ per square foot (for more complex designs, additional features like insulation, or larger buildings).

Pros of PEMB:

• Faster construction time.
• Lower material costs.
• More flexibility in site preparation.
• Energy-efficient options available (e.g., insulated panels).

Tilt-Up Construction involves pouring concrete panels on-site and then tilting them upright to form the walls of the building. This method is commonly used for industrial, retail, and commercial buildings.

Cost Factors for Tilt-Up Construction:

• Higher Material Costs: Concrete is more expensive than steel, and the formwork required for casting the walls adds to costs.
• Longer Construction Time: Tilt-up buildings take more time to build compared      to PEMBs because of the curing time for concrete panels and the complexity      of the tilting process.
• More Labor-Intensive: It requires specialized equipment for tilting the panels, and skilled labor for both the casting and the assembly.
• Stronger and More Durable: Concrete panels offer greater durability and resistance to weather and fire, which can justify the additional cost.

Estimated Cost Range:

• Low End: $40 to $60 per square foot (for basic designs with minimal customization).
• High End: $60 to $100+ per square foot (for high-performance buildings with custom designs and finishes).

Pros of Tilt-Up:

• Stronger, more durable structure (fire-resistant, better thermal performance).
• Low maintenance over time.
• Aesthetic appeal: can be finished in various textures or coatings.
