Pre-Engineered Building Manufacturer for Zirakpur
Zirakpur sits where the Ambala-Chandigarh highway meets the Patiala-Shimla highway, at the southern gate of the Chandigarh tricity. That location has turned it into a place where trucks stop, goods are stored and sold, and small factories grow along the road towards Dera Bassi and Lalru.
Mahawar Prefab Solutions (MPS) designs, fabricates and erects pre-engineered buildings (PEB) for this belt from our own plant in Mandi Gobindgarh. Like most units in the Dera Bassi belt, we are an MSME. We hold ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ZED Bronze certification, and we have been making PEB since 2021 as part of the Mahawar Group, which has been in the steel trade since 1990.
What Zirakpur and its neighbourhood build
Zirakpur town itself is mostly housing, hotels and retail. The working industry is a short drive away on the same highway:
- Ambala highway corridor, Zirakpur – warehouses, godowns, distribution sheds and large showrooms that serve the whole tricity.
- Focal Point and industrial area, Dera Bassi – pharmaceutical units (bulk drugs and formulations), chemicals and agrochemicals, light engineering and packaging.
- Lalru, Mubarakpur and nearby villages – pharma and chemical plants, casting units, rice shellers and bottling plants spread along the Delhi road.
The state’s master plan for the Zirakpur area also marks land for industrial clusters, so new plots keep opening up along this stretch.
Buildings we supply around Zirakpur
Most enquiries from this area fall into a few types. Here is how a pre-engineered building in Zirakpur usually fits each one:
| Building | Why PEB suits it |
|---|---|
| Highway warehouse or godown | Wide column-free bays for trucks and racks; side walls can take dock doors; easy to extend by adding bays. |
| Pharma or chemical production shed | Clean steel frame that suits insulated roofing and inner partitions; mezzanines for offices or packing. |
| Engineering or casting workshop | Frame designed for an EOT crane from day one; ridge ventilators to clear heat and fumes. |
| Showroom or commercial hall | Large open floor, colour-coated sheet facade, quicker opening than a brick-and-concrete building. |
| Rice sheller or agro storage | Tall eaves for machines and bag stacking; low roof maintenance. |
We also make our own colour-coated roofing sheets, C and Z purlins and pre-insulated “Coolshyne” roof panels, so the frame and the cover come from one supplier. If you are comparing a prefabricated structures manufacturer in Zirakpur and around, ask each one what they make in-house and what they buy in.
For the full range of building types, see our pre-engineered buildings (PEB) page.
Getting steel to Zirakpur
Every PEB in Zirakpur we build starts at our plant, about 64 km away by road and a little over an hour’s drive along NH-44 through Rajpura. Columns, rafters, purlins and sheets go by truck in one or a few loads, so material can usually reach a Zirakpur or Dera Bassi site on the day it is dispatched.
For a typical warehouse or factory shed, the industry norm is a few weeks for design approval and fabrication, then a few weeks for erection once the foundations are cured. Your actual schedule depends on size, cranes, mezzanines and site readiness, and we give it in writing with the quotation. You can follow progress through our dispatch logs and photo updates.
Because the plant is this close, our engineers can visit the site during foundation work and at erection, and spare bolts or sheets can be sent quickly.
Local design conditions we plan for
A PEB in Zirakpur has to deal with a few things that a shed in central Punjab may not:
- Earthquakes: the Chandigarh tricity, including Zirakpur, falls in Zone IV of IS 1893 (Part 1):2016, a higher zone than much of Punjab. BIS published a revised seismic map in 2025 but withdrew it in March 2026, so we design to the code currently in force and check the latest BIS notice for every project.
- Wind: the frame, cladding and roof fixings are designed for the basic wind speed that IS 875 (Part 3) specifies for the site, with proper fixing at roof edges and corners where wind pulls hardest.
- Monsoon rain and drainage: low-lying parts of Zirakpur, such as Dhakoli and Peer Muchalla near the Ghaggar, were waterlogged in July 2023. We size gutters and downpipes for heavy bursts and advise a raised plinth on low plots.
- Soil: much of the area is alluvial plain, but ground conditions change from plot to plot, especially where land has been filled. Foundations should follow a soil test report for your exact plot.
Every building is designed to IS 800:2007 for steel, IS 875 Parts 1, 2 and 3 for dead, imposed and wind loads, and IS 1893 for earthquake loads.
Information for your quotation
- Plot size and the building size you want (length, width, eave height).
- Use of the building: storage, production, crane loads, mezzanine, office block.
- Location, such as the village or sector near Zirakpur, Dera Bassi or Lalru, and whether the plot is low-lying.
- A soil test report for the plot, if one has been done.
- Roofing choice: plain colour-coated sheet, pre-insulated panel, or sheets with skylights.
- Your target date for starting production or storage.

Questions from Zirakpur buyers
How far is your plant from Zirakpur?
Our plant in Mandi Gobindgarh is about 64 km from Zirakpur by road, a little over an hour’s drive through Rajpura.
Do you also cover Dera Bassi, Lalru and Banur?
Yes. We supply and erect buildings across SAS Nagar district, including the Dera Bassi and Lalru industrial belt and the area around Banur.
Which earthquake zone do you design for in Zirakpur?
Zirakpur is in Zone IV under IS 1893 (Part 1):2016, which is currently in use. We design the frame for that zone and check the latest BIS notice on the revised seismic map for every project.
Can a PEB be built on a low-lying plot near the Ghaggar?
Yes, but the plinth and drainage need care. We advise a raised plinth, larger gutters and downpipes, and foundations based on a soil test of your plot.
Can you add a crane or mezzanine later?
It is far cheaper to plan for them from the start. If you expect a crane or mezzanine in future, tell us now and we will design the columns and foundations to carry it.
