Rebar Estimating

We turn plans, structural drawings and specifications into quantities you can put a price against — with the scope assumptions written down, so you know exactly what is and is not in the number.

  • Takeoffs
  • Tonnage
  • Material Summaries
  • Bid Support
  • Scope Review

Quantity takeoffs and tonnage

Detailed takeoffs broken down the way you bid, with tonnage calculated by bar size and by area of the structure rather than as a single lump figure.

  • Material summaries
  • Breakdowns by structural element

Bid and scope support

Before the numbers, we read the documents. Scope review surfaces the gaps, exclusions and addenda items that decide whether a bid is competitive or exposed.

  • Project scope review
  • Specification and addenda review
  • Documented inclusions and exclusions

03

Overflow estimating capacity

Bid days cluster. When several close in the same week, we take the overflow so you can keep quoting instead of turning work away.

  • Overflow estimating capacity
  • Support across concurrent bid deadlines
  • Scalable production during peak periods
  • No permanent headcount required

What it changes

What you get out of it.

Bid more work

Extra capacity means a heavy bid calendar no longer decides how many jobs you can chase.

Price with confidence

Quantities broken down by bar size and element make it clear where the tonnage — and the risk — actually sits.

Know the scope

Documented assumptions mean the number you submit is one you can defend in a scope review.
