Constructability Review through Bar Bending Schedule preparation

There is no way around it — reinforcing steel forms a large part (around 10%) of the total cost of building structures. This is just the cost of material without taking into account the affiliated costs from procurement to fit (logistics, storage, cutting, bending, and installing) of rebar. In India, most activities within the procurement to fit stages are managed by labour which is considerably cheap in India.

We are therefore quick to overlook some of the practices that can help control, if not eliminate, the hidden costs associated with the affiliated activities. This lack of attention extends as far as not knowing the exact quantum of steel built into the structure which can lead to major surprises at later stages in the project. Given the dynamic nature of this industry, we need detailed assessment of steel quantum at various stages of the project. The more emphasis we give to this critical planning and monitoring activity, the better control we will have over the project budget.

We are regularly approached by real estate developers as well as infrastructure contractors regarding bar bending schedule preparation for the projects that they are executing. It is evident from our numerous interactions that the true value of rebar detailing is not completely understood by the stakeholders most impacted by it.
