This review paper presents comparative study of Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) and conventional structures. In this study, with an emphasis on a number of factors including structural performance, cost-effectiveness, construction time, and sustainability. The assessment entails a thorough examination of the planning, execution, and performance attributes of both building types, taking into account elements such as labour needs, environmental effect, and material consumption. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the study incorporates sustainability issues, construction management, and structural engineering. A comprehensive grasp of the advantages and disadvantages of pre-engineered and conventional buildings is provided by analysing a variety of case studies and real-world situations. The research advances the area by creating fragility curves for conventional and pre-engineered buildings in addition to the comparative analysis. Fragility curves provide important information for risk assessment and mitigation
