PEMB & Red Iron

Pre-Engineered & Red-Iron Metal Buildings

Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) and red-iron rigid-frame systems for commercial, industrial and large-span projects that require clear spans, heavy loads and long service life.

PEMB and red-iron systems use engineered primary rigid frames (tapered columns and rafters) combined with secondary framing (purlins and girts) and metal wall and roof panels. They are a common choice for warehouses, distribution, manufacturing, retail, aviation, agricultural and other commercial buildings where clear span and speed of construction are priorities.

Planning Considerations

What to Think Through Early
