Steel & Rebar Takeoff Services
Structural steel and rebar quantities by weight, length, and tonnage.
Structural steel and rebar are sold by weight, so an accurate tonnage takeoff is the difference between a profitable bid and a loss. We quantify every beam, column, deck, and rebar size by weight and length, then price at current mill and fabrication rates.

Do you price fabrication and erection separately?
Yes — material, fabrication, and erection can be broken out separately so you can see exactly where the cost sits and price your subcontractor bids accordingly.
Can you take off rebar from structural drawings?
Yes. We quantify rebar by size, length, and lap directly from the structural drawings and reinforcement schedules, including bends and accessories.
