Rebar Detailing
Powerkh delivers concrete reinforcement detailing - placing drawings, bar bending schedules, and 3D rebar models - for foundations, slabs, walls, columns, and complex structures. We detail to ACI, BS, and Eurocode from your structural drawings so fabricators and placers get clear, buildable reinforcement information.

Rebar Detailing Services
Rebar detailing is the off-site production of reinforcement placing drawings and bar bending schedules from structural design documents. It specifies the size, shape, grade, spacing, lap, and quantity of every reinforcing bar and produces cutting and bending data for fabrication and on-site placement.
Reinforcement is where design intent meets buildability, and errors here are expensive to fix in the field. Our rebar detailing service converts your structural drawings into clear placing drawings and accurate bar bending schedules for footings, mats, pile caps, slabs, beams, columns, walls, and cores. Every bar is defined with its size, shape code, grade, length, lap, and spacing, and we resolve congestion and clashes so placers can install reinforcement exactly as detailed.
With 400+ delivered BIM/VDC projects for clients across the US, UK, and Europe, we detail to ACI, CRSI, BS 8666, and Eurocode standards and follow your bar mark and drawing conventions. We work in imperial by default and support metric, and where the project uses 3D reinforcement we model rebar in Revit or Tekla for coordination and quantity extraction. We sign an NDA on request, and bar bending schedules are output ready for the fabricator shop.
Why Outsource Rebar Detailing to Powerkh
Buildable placing drawings
Congestion, laps, and clashes are resolved during detailing, so placers install reinforcement right the first time and RFIs on site drop.
Accurate bending schedules
Bar bending schedules follow ACI, CRSI, BS 8666, or Eurocode shape codes with correct lengths and hooks for reliable shop fabrication.
Optimized bar quantities
We check laps, cutting lengths, and standard stock to reduce waste and give estimators dependable reinforcement quantities from the schedules.
Flexible, predictable engagement
Hourly pricing with a free quote and payment only after delivery, plus an English-speaking team reachable 8:00-18:00 UTC+2 on weekdays.
Our Rebar Detailing Services
Reinforcement placing drawings
Clear plan, section, and elevation placing drawings for foundations, slabs, beams, columns, walls, and cores with bar marks and callouts.
Bar bending schedules
Detailed BBS listing bar mark, size, shape code, length, hooks, quantity, and weight to ACI, CRSI, BS 8666, or Eurocode standards.
3D rebar modeling
Reinforcement modeled in Revit or Tekla for congested zones, enabling clash checks, visualization, and reliable quantity extraction.

Quantity takeoff and reports
Reinforcement weights and bar quantities extracted from the schedules and model for estimating, procurement, and shop planning.
Our Rebar Detailing Process
-
Share structural drawings and standards
Send your structural and concrete drawings with the target codes, cover requirements, and conventions. We review and return a free quote.
-
Detail reinforcement
We prepare placing drawings and, where needed, 3D rebar models, defining bar sizes, shapes, laps, spacing, and cover per element.
-
Generate bar bending schedules
Bar bending schedules are produced with shape codes, lengths, hooks, quantities, and weights matched to the placing drawings.
-
Check congestion and coordinate
Congested zones, laps, and clashes are reviewed, with 3D reinforcement coordinated against the structural model where applicable.
-
Approval, revisions, and delivery
We issue drawings and schedules for approval, incorporate markups with updated quantities, and deliver the final reinforcement package.
Software We Use
We detail reinforcement in the same concrete and coordination tools your engineers and fabricators use.
- Autodesk Revit
- Tekla
- AutoCAD
- aSa

FAQ
What is included in your rebar detailing services?
Reinforcement placing drawings, bar bending schedules with shape codes, and optional 3D rebar models for foundations, slabs, beams, columns, walls, and cores - detailed to ACI, CRSI, BS 8666, or Eurocode standards with reinforcement quantities extracted for estimating.
Which reinforcement standards and codes do you follow?
We detail to ACI and CRSI practice for US projects, BS 8666 for the UK, and Eurocode for Europe, applying the correct shape codes, hooks, laps, and cover, and following your bar mark and drawing conventions throughout.
Do you provide 3D rebar models or only 2D drawings?
Both. Many projects need only placing drawings and bar bending schedules, but for congested zones or BIM workflows we model reinforcement in 3D in Revit or Tekla so it can be clash-checked and quantified alongside the structural model.
Can your bar bending schedules drive fabrication?
Yes. Our bar bending schedules list bar mark, size, shape code, length, hooks, quantity, and weight in a shop-ready format, and we can align output to your fabricator or aSa workflow so bars can be cut and bent directly from the schedule.
How do you price rebar detailing projects?
We charge hourly and provide a free quote after reviewing your structural drawings and reinforcement scope, and payment is due only after the work is delivered. An NDA is available on request before you share any project files.
