View drawing samples (PDF)Rebar detailing that cuts, bends and fits
We prepare reinforcement shop drawings, bending schedules and 3D bar models for reinforcing suppliers, builders and structural engineers on both sides of the Tasman. Whether it is a house slab or a bridge pier, the engineer's design comes back as bars your shop can process and your fixers can place.

What we deliver for your reinforcement package
Send us the structural drawings. We return checked drawings and schedules your shop can cut and bend from and your fixers can place from.
- Footings, piles and pile caps
- Slabs, rafts and transfer slabs
- Beams, including post-tensioned beams
- Columns and walls
- Retaining walls and stairs
- Bridge piers, pierheads and decks
- Shafts, chambers and tanks
| Item | Scope |
|---|---|
| Rebar shop drawings | Placing drawings for every element with bar marks, covers, laps, spacing and section details. |
| Bar bending schedules | Schedules in your fabricator's format and shape codes, with bar masses by element and by pour. |
| 3D rebar models | Reinforcement modelled in Revit or Tekla for congested areas, clash checks and coordination with embeds and post-tensioning. |
| Placing drawings by pour | Drawings split to match the pour sequence, so fixers place one pour at a time and inspectors can check it against one sheet. |
| Estimation and take-offs | Reinforcement tonnages and bar lists from tender drawings for pricing and procurement. |
| Clash detection and coordination | Bars checked against cast-ins, ducts, anchors and other trades before anything is bent. |
| RFIs and revisions | Questions for the engineer logged as soon as we find them and answered before fabrication, with every revision clouded and the schedules reissued. |
| As-built records | Final drawings and schedules marked up to match what was actually poured, ready for your handover file. |
From design drawings to bars on the truck
A footing or a bridge pier, every package follows this order.
Review the design
Structural drawings, the specification and the engineer's reinforcement details, with design queries listed up front.
Set the detailing rules
Covers, lap lengths, spacing and bend diameters confirmed for the job.
Split into pours
Pour breaks and construction joints agreed, so drawings and schedules follow the build sequence.
Detail or model the bars
Reinforcement drawn in 2D or modelled in 3D, element by element.
Schedule the bars
Bar bending schedules produced from the drawings or model, with marks and masses that match.
Check congestion and clashes
Laps, intersections and cast-ins checked for buildability before issue.
Resolve RFIs
Questions closed out with the engineer, revisions issued and logged.
Issue and close out
Drawings and schedules released for fabrication, with as-built mark-ups once the pours are done.
Reinforcement projects we have detailed
Bridges, industrial plants, wastewater shafts, campuses and housing. Open any project sheet for a sample of our drawings and bending schedules.

Set up the way your shop works
We detail for reinforcing suppliers as much as for contractors, so schedules arrive in the format, shape codes and bar marking your processing team expects.
3D where it pays off
Congested pierheads, transfer zones and shafts are modelled in Revit or Tekla, so clashes are found on screen instead of on the deck.
From bridges to retirement villages
Bridge piers and decks, industrial plants, wastewater shafts, university buildings and aged care, across Australia and New Zealand.
A precast team next door
When the reinforcement sits inside precast units, our precast detailing team coordinates the panel drawings with your bar schedules from day one.
- Detailing software
- Autodesk Revit, Tekla Structures and AutoCAD
- File formats
- Drawings in PDF and DWG, models as IFC or native files, schedules as Excel or CSV
- Codes we work to
- AS 3600 and AS/NZS 4671 for Australian work, NZS 3101 for New Zealand work, plus your project specification
Questions reinforcers ask us
Not covered here? Ring us on +61 431 334 750.
What should we send you first?
The structural drawings and specification, any reinforcement details from the engineer, the pour breaks if they are known, and your fabricator's shape codes and schedule format.
Can you match our fabricator's schedule format?
Yes. We supply schedules in Excel or CSV and set them up with your shape codes, bar marks and layout. Tell us what your processing software needs and we will confirm it before we start.
Do we need a 3D rebar model?
Most elements are detailed in 2D. We recommend 3D for congested or complex areas such as pierheads, transfer beams and shafts, or where the project needs model-based coordination.
How is the work priced?
Once we have looked over the drawings, you get a price and a delivery programme. On larger jobs the price can be broken down by pour or by stage.
Do you take on New Zealand projects?
Yes, regularly. Most of the projects on this page were detailed for New Zealand reinforcers and contractors, to NZS 3101.
