Rebar Estimating Services

Reinforcing steel quantities, bar bending schedules and detailing built for fabrication shops, contractors and erectors bidding bridges, buildings and civil structures. You get the rebar numbers in an editable workbook with a marked-up plan set behind every line, usually within.

Rebar estimating

Reinforcing steel priced right the first time

Reinforcing steel is the part of a concrete estimate that punishes a rough guess. Get the bar count wrong and you are either over-ordering stock that sits on site or scrambling for material mid-pour. Our rebar takeoffs quantify materials, accessories and erection costs together so the number you bid actually reflects what gets tied on site.

We work across metro rail and bridge projects, residential, commercial and industrial buildings, parking garages, oil and gas facilities, tilt-up panels and waste-water treatment plants, structures where bar placement, splicing and cover requirements vary considerably from one scope to the next.

Every rebar takeoff includes a comprehensive summary and a full accessories list, chairs, bolsters, wire mesh and the rest, output to Excel, Soule or ASA estimating formats depending on how your shop works.

03Splices, laps, chairs and accessories are added to the accessories schedule
04Pricing is applied against current material and labour rates
05A senior rebar estimator reviews the schedule before delivery
