Specialization in Rebar Detailing
At CAD Drafters, we don’t merely offer rebar detailing; we provide the most detailed and credible rebar shop drawings, ready for fabrication. We help contractors, fabricators and structural engineers render concrete structures from your detailed specification, on time and without second-guessing. We specialize in a variety of rebar detailing scopes to ensure that every design is thoroughly accounted for and coherently coordinated before leaving the site.
1. Reinforced Concrete Detailing
We detail rebar drawings for any reinforced concrete structure you can conceive. Beams, columns, slabs, footings, retaining walls, and everything in-between; all accurately dimensioned, labeled, and detailed in general accordance with industry standards and project specifications.
2. Bar Bending Schedules (BBS)
Our team also provides a clear and accurate bill of materials (BOM) with our shop drawings. The bending schedules offer specific instructions for cutting, bending, and placement on every single bar, which reduces steel wastage and facilitates the fabrication process.
3. 3D Rebar Modeling
Using specialized 3D rebar modeling programs in Revit and Tekla Structures, we can provide a visual layout of rebar arrangements within structural elements to help inform clash detection, constructability reviews and facilitate discussion with site teams.
4. Rebar Shop Drawings
We create detailed, readable shop drawings for both the fabrication of the rebar and site installation. Shop drawings include bar marks, diameters, lengths, shapes, and instructions for correct placement, eliminating errors during bending and fixing.
5. Foundation Rebar Detailing
As mentioned earlier, we specialize in detailing complex foundations, including mat footings, pile caps, and grade beams. Our detailing ensures the reinforcement is accurately laid out to account for design loads and site conditions.
6. Slab & Floor Rebar Layout
We provide details for rebar layouts of all slabs, including flat slabs, waffle slabs, and post-tensioned slabs. Our layouts ensure that the coverage, lap lengths, and placement sequences are adequate to cover the slab, allowing for its safe consideration by construction and safety requirements.
7. Retaining Wall Reinforcement
We detail rebar for all retaining wall types, including cantilever, counterfort, and gravity walls, ensuring that all reinforcements are integrated with the foundations and adjoining structures.
8. Shear Wall & Core Detailing
The detailing undertaken by our team will provide precise details of the reinforcement of structural wall systems, shear walls, cores for elevators and stairs, which will offer significant assistance in mitigating future lateral loads and ensuring structural integrity for buildings of a higher-rise nature.
9. Stair & Ramp Rebar Detailing
Our detailed drawings represent accurate rebar detailing of cast-in-situ stairs and ramps, including reinforcement for landings, flights, and structural support beams, ensuring structural integrity and conformity to relevant building codes.
10. Precast & Prefab Concrete Detailing
We provide accurate rebar detailing of precast elements, working closely with precast and prefab concrete suppliers to create shop drawings that are ready to fit into specific, dimensionally accurate molds and guide the lifting and handling process.
11. Bridge & Infrastructure Rebar Detailing
Our staff are experienced in rebar detailing for complex infrastructure projects, including highway overpasses, bridge piers and abutment columns, as well as connections to structural steel or bolt sleeves for utilities.
12. Rebar Detailing of As-Built Conditions
For renovation or retrofit projects, we provide as-built rebar drawings that offer accurate representations of existing reinforcing layouts, supporting our clients with safe modifications and upgrades.

Accurate Rebar Estimating Services for Reliable Project Planning
At CAD Drafters, we understand that accurate rebar estimating is the foundation for a seamless reinforced concrete project. Our rebar estimating service provides contractors, rebar fabricators, and project managers with complete quantity take-offs, material needs, and cost estimates to help complete a project, aiding in budgeting, material procurement, and scheduling.
Complete Take-Offs and Certainty of Costs
Our skilled estimators will determine the quantity, size, shape, configuration, and lap lengths of rebar necessary for your project, based on an analysis of structural drawings, specifications, and design notes. In particular, we will provide you with detailed bar bending schedules and rebar material summaries to ensure complete clarity over project costs and expectations from the bid through to pre-construction. This means that you can accurately identify the total rebar weight and wastage allowances for the rebar fabrication quantities required, eliminating a degree of guesswork and potential cost overruns.
Accurate Estimates and Competitive Advantage
Armed with accurate rebar estimates, contractors and fabricators can prepare bids that put them in a competitive position, gain easier negotiating power with suppliers for material pricing, and minimize rebar material overruns on site. Our estimates conform to industry codes and project specifications; therefore, they will help reduce any potential overruns, stay on schedule, and enable us to deliver reinforced concrete structures based on the design intent without presumptive waste of materials. At CAD Drafters, we want to help you achieve winning bids and execute every project sustainably.
