Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) Projects Griffin is managing the delivery of Cathedral City Fire Station 411 , Great Park Ice and Sports Complex , and Rancho Cucamonga Sports Center -- all PEMB framework facilities. Pre-engineered metal and steel buildings can offer significant savings over traditional framing techniques--both in cost and schedule. In typical fire stations, results have shown material cost savings of approximately 15 percent and schedule reductions that cut delivery times by two months. The schedule savings also result in additional cost savings in labor, insurance, lease of temporary facilities and other such expenses. The ability to construct wide open spans provides flexibility to accommodate various uses. Public agencies are finding PEMBs provide flexible, durable framework for apparatus bays, indoor sports facilities, community centers, and large equipment storage for corp yards. Employing experienced teams--designers, construction managers, project engineers and contractors--is essential. Ensuring proper protocols are in place throughout all phases of development, from conceptual designs through construction and delivery, can maximize the cost and schedule savings realized utilizing PEMB framing techniques.

Great Park Ice and Sports Complex. Major steel framing is nearly complete on the 280,000 square-foot facility.
