Rebar detailing (2D)

Placement drawings built right the first time

Bar bending schedules and rebar shop drawings built to your project's governing code, checked against contract documents and structural drawings before delivery. We detail slabs, footings, columns, walls, and beams for cast-in-place concrete on projects of any size.

  • Placing drawings
  • Bar lists
  • Bending schedules
  • Code-compliant detailing to your project standards
  • Internal QA/QC before delivery

Common questions

Questions about reinforcing steel

Rebar detailing

What rebar detailing services do you provide?

We provide complete rebar detailing services, including placing drawings, bar bending schedules, rebar shop drawings, project summaries, and fabrication-related documents, all in your preferred format.

Which rebar detailing standards and codes do you follow?

We follow the applicable project codes, standards, engineering documents, and client-specific detailing requirements. For US projects, we can work according to the applicable ACI, CRSI, ASTM, and project specifications.

Do you provide QA/QC for rebar detailing?

Yes. Our rebar detailing goes through an internal QC process covering drawings, bar marks, quantities, dimensions, reinforcement placement, schedules, revisions, and coordination before submission.

Can you work with our existing standards and templates?

Yes. We can follow your company standards, drawing templates, bar-marking conventions, naming systems, and project-specific requirements.

3D rebar detailing

What is 3D rebar detailing?

3D rebar detailing creates a coordinated three-dimensional model of the reinforcement based on the structural design, allowing reinforcement to be reviewed spatially before construction.

What does your 3D rebar detailing service include?

Depending on the project requirements, our scope can include 3D rebar modeling, placing drawings, bar lists, schedules, quantities, and coordination deliverables.

Can you create 3D rebar models from 2D structural drawings?

Yes. We can develop the 3D reinforcement model from structural drawings, design documents, specifications, and other project information provided by the client.

Can you work with our existing 3D/BIM workflow?

Yes. We can adapt our detailing workflow to project-specific modeling standards, naming conventions, templates, and coordination requirements.

Estimation & takeoffs

Do you provide both steel and rebar takeoffs?

Yes. Our team provides structural steel quantity takeoffs as well as rebar takeoffs, including quantities required for estimating, procurement, and bidding.

Can you work from drawings and specifications?

Yes. We review the available structural, architectural, civil, and project specification documents to develop the required quantities.

What information is included in your takeoff?

Depending on the project requirements, takeoffs can include member sizes, lengths, weights, piece counts, plates, bolts, rebar sizes, bar lengths, quantities, weights, and other required material information.

How quickly can you complete an estimation?

We are structured to support fast-moving bid schedules. Most large estimation and takeoff projects are completed within 3 business days, while smaller projects can typically be completed within 1 business day, depending on the scope and complexity.
