Rebar Detailing

Clear, accurate reinforcement drawings for fabrication and site installation

Rebar detailing is the process of preparing clear and accurate reinforcement drawings based on approved structural and architectural drawings. Our drawings show the exact placement, spacing, sizes and quantities of reinforcement required for fabrication and site installation.

Overview

Smooth coordination between contractors, fabricators and site teams

Our detailing work follows industry practices and project specifications to support smooth coordination between contractors, fabricators and site teams.

Rebar Detailing Process

How every detailing project starts

  1. Review the project

    A thorough review of the project drawings, scope and required deliverables.

  2. Check drawing availability

    We assess the availability of structural, civil, architectural and other relevant drawings.

  3. Raise RFIs

    We identify missing information and prepare RFIs when clarification is needed.

  4. Detail to the latest revision

    Detailing is carried out on the latest drawing revisions, in line with project standards.
