Rebar Production

Estimating & Pricing Software: RebarBID is a powerful yet user-friendly material take-off software application designed for Estimators working for Contractors and Rebar Fabricators.

Powerful function macros are used to calculate typical bar developments such as beams, slabs and column bars. RebarBID dramatically improves estimating productivity and accuracy because it eliminates the tedious and error prone task of transcribing to and from paper.

Rebar Production Software: Seamless integration with popular production software is achieved via SDI and aSa file formats which means getting the full benefit of powerful modules for optimisation (reduced scrap), production, mesh, prefab and even invoicing.
