More commonly requested by US rebar fabricators at tender stage, we prepare an estimate of the quantity of reinforcement steel that will be required in a project. The client provides the structural General Arrangement drawings and the Reinforcement Detailing Instructions (RDI). From this we work out for each bar the weight of steel and provide a summary of the tonnage of steel for the whole job.

Our output to the client is an Estimation Take Off Report, a simplified bending schedule prepared as an excel document that is sufficiently accurate for bidding purposes, but is less accurate than when the bar bending schedule is prepared from a RC detail drawing.

Our fee for this is based on the total tonnage of steel
