Rebar takeoff software

A rebar takeoff lists every bar by size, length and bend, then turns it into weight. Most of the steel is not on the plans. It is in the structural details, the general notes and the schedules, and that is where bars get missed.

Rebar and reinforcing steel: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for rebar takeoffs today?
Not yet. Rebar is a founding trade. We build each trade with working estimators, so the tool learns how the trade really bids. Founding contractors use it free for three months while we build it with them.
What do you need from a founding rebar contractor?
An hour or two of your estimator's time, screen shared, while they do a real takeoff. Plus a set of past bid packets with the finished takeoffs. We use them to check the tool against work you already trust.
What does it cost after the founding period?
The standard price is $2,500 per seat per month. It is a flat fee. There is no charge per takeoff.
