QUANTITY TAKEOFF
Our team ensures that you receive a detailed, itemized and accurate Bill of Quantities that is a true reflection of your project. Determining accurate quantities for any job is critical to getting an estimate Right.
COST ESTIMATING
We prepare cost estimates by taking into account rebar material estimates and labour costs related to your company and combine those with crew compositions & productivities.
What is Rebar?
A rebar is a steel bar that is used in reinforced concrete construction. It provides reinforcement for the concrete and increases the structural integrity of slabs, beams, columns, and walls. Reinforced concrete is a type of concrete in which the reinforcement (rebar) provides additional strength to the otherwise weak, porous, brittle material.
What is Rebar Estimates?
Rebar estimates is the process of determining how much rebar is needed to reinforce a given area or volume of concrete. This process can be done manually or with the help of an automated rebar calculator. A rebar estimates & takeoff is used to determine the extent of reinforcing that must be done in any given concrete area or volume and then determines the type of rebar necessary for that particular job.
Rebar Estimates & Takeoff
Rebar estimates and bill of quantities are essential to accurately determine concrete work’s material and labor costs. It is important to read through the specification and project drawings to capture small details which can have a major cost impact – for example, if there is a need for epoxy-coated rebar and the estimator doesn’t capture that detail, it can make or break a job. There are two primary methods of quantity take-off. Manual Method and Digital Method.
Rebar sizes
| Bar size (Imperial Units) | Bar size (Metric Unit) | Nominal diameter (inches) | Nominal diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. 2 | #6 | 0.250 = 1⁄4 | 6.35 |
| No. 3 | #10 | 0.375 = 3⁄8 | 9.525 |
| No. 4 | #13 | 0.500 = 1⁄2 | 12.7 |
| No. 5 | #16 | 0.625 = 5⁄8 | 15.875 |
| No. 6 | #19 | 0.750 = 3⁄4 | 19.05 |
| No. 7 | #22 | 0.875 = 7⁄8 | 22.225 |
| No. 8 | #25 | 1.000 = 8⁄8 | 25.4 |
| No. 9 | #29 | 1.128 ≈ 9⁄8 | 28.65 |
| No. 10 | #32 | 1.270 ≈ 10⁄8 | 32.26 |
| No. 11 | #36 | 1.410 ≈ 11⁄8 | 35.81 |
| No. 14 | #43 | 1.693 ≈ 14⁄8 | 43 |
| No. 18 | #57 | 2.257 ≈ 18⁄8 | 57.3 |
Rebar Estimates & Takeoff Software
Manual Rebar Estimates
When cost estimators manually estimate rebar quantities, they go through the project contract and contract drawings, specification, shop drawings, and scope of work. To calculate the quantities, they utilize pen n paper (also called old school). Manual quantity take off is a very basic level of estimation, therefore, the estimator must be able to navigate through different documents and still manages to put everything in a logical order. The cost estimator needs to have high level of attention to the details to make the calculation sheet as accurate as possible.
Offscreen Takeoff Technology
Offscreen Technology digitalizes the plans and drawings. it allows the estimator to digitally take off quantity with the need of printing the drawings, the digital drawings can be stored in various formats such as dwg, .dwf, and tiff. Our team uses latest and advanced rebar estimates and takeoff software, therefore minimizing the chances for any mathematical errors.

Rebar Takeoff Calculation Methodologies
As we all know, the price of the concrete structure project depends on the number of different steel and concrete. As steel is way dearer than concrete, its precise quantity is way additional vital in concert will recognize beforehand the price of the complete project, following area unit the methodologies that area units typically practice throughout the estimation of steel rebar.
Method 2:
Another thumb rule will be used half-hour steel by volume of the block.
So for the on top of the block having volume = twenty cft.
Steel = half-hour of twenty cft. = vi cft = vi x 490 lbs/cft = 2940 lbs. = 1.5 Tons.
The thumb rules on top of the two strategy areas supported your expertise. It’s going to disagree from one building to a different one. Only with enough knowledge can you build an accurate assumption of the thumb rules. It’s higher to require a thumb rule from an antecedently made building of similar nature to the one you’re conniving currently. This can be conjointly referred to as benchmarking.
Method 1:
You can build a rough estimate by mistreatment the thumb rule that concerns 176.368 pounds of rebar area unit needed per cu ft of the block. therefore if block size is say 10ft x 10ft x 0.2ft.
Concrete = 10′ x 10′ x 0.2′ = 20 cft. Therefore, Rebar = 176.368 x 20 = 3527.36 lbs = 1.76 Tons.
This technique is usually accustomed to a rough plan of the price and Weight of the steel used for the building construction.
Method 3:
By activity, the number from the Drawings or a BBS:
This is an additional elaborated technique of movement. First, you have got to live the entire Length of the various diameters of bars as well as the Length of straight bars, lap lengths, bend bars, etc. Then multiply the full lengths by the unit weight of the individual bars to urge the total steel weight.
E.g., the Total Length of I-inch bars is one hundred feet. Then Weight = Length x unit weight of zero.25 in. diameter bar = one hundred x zero.167 = 16.7 lbs.
Method 4:
By Mistreatment Estimation Software:
Using completely different estimation software systems like to set up Swift and Blue Beam conjointly helps the US get the bar’s direct mass simply by providing the realm and spacing between the bars. {the quantity|the quantity|the number} obtained by this software system {is typical |is typical |is sometimes} precise or on the subject of the accurate quantity and a few stuff usually 5-10% of the total weight calculated is applied, and you’ll get the precise amount.
