When building concrete structures, rebar design should be accurate. Otherwise, you end up with costly errors and on-site clashes that slow you down and risk the entire building. But, how vital a role does rebar detailing play in the whole construction process? It is essential, as having the wrong-sized rebar or missing bars in key places will result in a lack of structural strength – putting the entire building at risk.
Concrete contractors might feel that rebar detailing and fixing is only one of the many moving parts of the project. Whether you are outsourcing or doing the rebar job in-house, prioritizing is not easy when there are time and budget pressures. Another challenge is to put all the pieces together and check all the details while keeping an eye on the big picture.
