At a glance
PEB Corp is the parent company of PEB Corp Group, providing structural engineering, BIM design, and institutional and export coordination. SmartBrix Construction builds; NewCon Steel® manufactures and supplies steel.
PEB Corp is the company; "PEB" (pre-engineered building) is also a generic industry term.
Conventional vs. industrialized construction
Conventional concrete construction carries more schedule and cost uncertainty: budgets reopened on site, schedules at the mercy of the weather, and waste nobody accounts for up front.
On-site rework and change orders push budgets 15–40% over plan: scope changes, coordination errors and extra labor.
Weather, skilled-labor shortages, and site errors add months to the schedule and delay occupancy.
Lost material, environmental impact, and low on-site productivity: visible and hidden costs the project ends up absorbing.
01Solutions
PEB Corp designs in BIM and engineers the structure; NewCon Steel® CNC-fabricates the LGS/CFS profiles at the group plant under the EMMA regime; the group controls logistics; and SmartBrix Construction carries out erection. One team, one schedule, and one accountable point of contact for institutional, educational, industrial, and multifamily projects.
02Integrated process
Four phases connected by data for architects, developers, and owners who need schedule certainty. Turnkey execution is carried out by SmartBrix Construction.
BIM modeling in Revit and Tekla, structural calculation to AISC / AISI S100-16 / ASCE 7 / NSR-10 / REP-2021, and direct fabrication data. MEP coordination is resolved before a single sheet is cut.
Automated production of Zn-Al-Mg 275 g/m² profiles to AISI S100-16 at the group’s CNC plant (NewCon Steel®), EMMA regime. ±0.5 mm tolerance and piece-by-piece traceability.
Consolidation, crating, and optimized shipping from Panama to Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the Caribbean. The erection sequence is labeled on every package.
SmartBrix Construction crews carry out site erection, foundation integration, envelope, MEP, and finishes, and hand over the building ready to operate.
Why it works: digital certainty before construction starts
Conflicts are caught in software, before a crane is on site.
Structure, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing resolved in the model.
Every piece with a drawing, a code, and traceability.
Quantities and progress measured against the model, not estimated on site.
03How a steel-framed building goes up
A standard LGS/CFS project moves through six controlled steps, from foundation to finishes, each with a dedicated crew and documented verification.
On the cured, leveled concrete slab, wall-track locations are laid out from BIM shop drawings.
C-studs in Zn-Al-Mg 275 g/m² steel are fastened to tracks with self-drilling screws and checked for plumb. Floor and roof joists are then fastened to the top track of the wall panels.
Wiring and plumbing run through pre-punched knockouts in the studs, protected from sharp edges.
Exterior sheathing boards are fastened to the studs and brace the frame. The facade finish is applied over them afterward.
Stud cavities are filled with thermal and acoustic insulation, and walls and ceilings are then closed in with interior boards.
EIFS facade, windows, and metal roofing. A weather-tight building ready to operate.
04Steel framing vs. conventional concrete
As a reference published by the group, a typical industrial building can be operating in ≈4 months from the fabrication order, depending on scope and site; conventional concrete usually takes longer. For a developer, that means extra months of revenue; for an institution, a schedule it can count on.
