PEB Buildings Engineering Services

Delta Precision Group provides managed engineering teams for pre-engineered building (PEB) structures, from primary rigid frame design through secondary framing and connection details, matched to your project’s code requirements and manufacturer’s system.

Primary Frame Design Secondary Framing Design Connection & Anchor Bolt Design

01 / WHEN PEB CAPACITY IS TIGHT

Built for manufacturers and firms whose PEB work outpaces their bench.

PEB manufacturers and design-build firms with an engineering backlog

Where the project backlog has outrun in-house engineering capacity — often the engineering manager watching a primary frame design stall because your one PEB engineer is buried in another project’s connection details.

Firms that need a frame package turned around fast during a bid cycle

A rigid frame or secondary framing package against a bid deadline — often the estimator who needs a preliminary frame design to price a bid.

If either of those is your situation, tell us where things stand.

02 / THE ENGINEERING BOTTLENECK

Why PEB manufacturers and engineering firms bring in outside design capacity.

A PEB frame that’s sized without properly accounting for wind and snow loads under ASCE 7, or purlin and girt spacing that doesn’t match the actual cladding system, doesn’t surface as a minor issue, it surfaces as a change order once erection starts. PEB design carries real consequences when the primary and secondary framing aren’t coordinated correctly from the start.

Hiring to cover a PEB project surge is slow, and a generalist offshore drafting shop can produce a frame layout without necessarily understanding how a specific manufacturer’s system actually behaves under load. PEB design is a specialized discipline, not generic structural drafting.

We build our teams around people who understand rigid frame behavior and metal building systems specifically, not a general structural pool.

03 / THE ENGINEERING WORK

PEB structural design, analysis, and detailing for industrial and commercial buildings.

Deliverable 01

Primary frame design

Rigid frame design and sizing, tapered I-beam sections, and frame geometry matched to your building’s span, bay spacing, and load requirements.

Deliverable 02

Secondary framing design

Purlin and girt design and layout, coordinated with your cladding system and building code requirements.

Deliverable 03

Connection and anchor bolt design

Base plate, anchor bolt, and connection design for primary and secondary framing, checked against governing load combinations.

Who this is for: PEB manufacturers and design-build firms with frame design work exceeding internal capacity, and firms needing fast turnaround on preliminary designs for bidding.

04 / FROM REQUIREMENTS TO DESIGN

How we turn project requirements into engineered PEB designs and detailed documentation.

  1. We confirm code, loads, and your manufacturer’s system first. We start by confirming the governing building code, wind and snow load criteria under ASCE 7, and your specific manufacturer’s framing system and standard details, since a frame designed against the wrong assumptions creates rework once it reaches detailing.
  2. We staff PEB-specific experience. From there we build a team experienced in PEB-specific design.
  3. Frame geometry and loads are agreed before detailing. We align with your engineer on frame geometry and load assumptions before detailing begins.
  4. Revisions move at your bid or fabrication schedule. We turn revisions around against your bid or fabrication schedule.

05 / PEB ENGINEERING EXPERTISE

The analysis, structural design, detailing, and documentation capabilities behind our work.

Capabilities our team is equipped to deliver

  • Primary rigid frame design and sizing to ASCE 7 load criteria
  • Secondary framing design, including purlins and girts
  • Connection, base plate, and anchor bolt design for PEB structures
  • Coordination with manufacturer-specific framing systems

Scope, governing code, and manufacturer standards are confirmed with you before design work begins.

06 / THE PEB ENGINEERING DIFFERENCE

PEB design built around structural performance, project requirements, and efficient steel use.

We design to how a specific PEB system actually behaves, not a generic structural template.

That is the difference between a frame package that erects cleanly and one that generates change orders once it reaches the field.

We’re built for manufacturers and design-build firms with recurring PEB work.

Though a single frame package is a reasonable way to start.

07 / FIND THE RIGHT FIT

Choose the engineering support model that fits your PEB project.

Dedicated production capacity

An ongoing team sized to your PEB project pipeline.

Project capacity

A single frame design or building package with a defined scope and deadline.

Surge and overflow support

Additional design capacity during bid season or a compressed fabrication schedule.

08 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions about PEB engineering services.

Will the frame design actually match our manufacturer’s system, or need rework at detailing?

We confirm your specific manufacturer’s framing system and standard details before design begins, so the frame is built to what you actually fabricate against.

Have you actually done PEB design, or is this generalist structural work?

Our teams are built around PEB-specific design, rigid frames, purlins, girts, and manufacturer coordination, not a general structural pool.

Will this slow down our bid timeline?

We can turn around preliminary frame designs fast enough to support a bid, and we confirm load criteria upfront so a later revision doesn’t reset the schedule.

How do you handle sensitive drawings and project data?

Data handling is confirmed with you at the start of every engagement.

Can we start with one building package before anything ongoing?

Yes, a single frame or building design is a common and reasonable starting point.
