FAQ
Does the calculator’s kg/sq ft figure replace a structural engineer’s bar bending schedule?
No, the calculator's figure is an early planning heuristic meant to help with budgeting before drawings are ready, while a bar bending schedule is a precise, drawing-derived document that specifies exact bar sizes, lengths and bend shapes for every reinforced element. Always procure steel based on the bar bending schedule once it is available, and […]
No, the calculator's figure is an early planning heuristic meant to help with budgeting before drawings are ready, while a bar bending schedule is a precise, drawing-derived document that specifies exact bar sizes, lengths and bend shapes for every reinforced element. Always procure steel based on the bar bending schedule once it is available, and treat the calculator's number as a rough guide for the earlier planning stage only.
