Tips on Estimating Rebar Costs from RSMeans
When estimating concrete reinforcing costs, ascertain that the reinforcing steel supplier has included all accessories, cutting, bending, and allowences for lapping, splicing, and waste. If no lap specifications are given, a good rule of thumb when estimating the amount of reinforcing steel is to add 10% to your quantities for lapping, splices, and waste. Also, 10% waste should be allowed for welded wire fabric. |
