FAQ — BIM reinforced concrete rebar detailing pricing & delivery
How do you estimate USD per m² vs USD per ton for BIM RC?
USD/m² works well when we handle the full BIM reinforced concrete scope at LOD 300–400. USD/t is better when you already have a concrete model and need only rebar detailing services. After checking your inputs, we recommend the cheaper basis for your BIM RC project.
What do I get at LOD 400 BIM rebar detailing?
At LOD 400 you receive a fully detailed BIM rebar model in Revit or Tekla, rebar shop drawings, BBS in CSV/XLS, PDFs/DWG and IFC exports. If your fabricator needs it, we can also generate NC files for cutting and bending machines.
Which design codes do you follow for BIM reinforced concrete?
For EU projects we follow Eurocode 2 (EN 1992) plus National Annexes when provided. For US projects we work to ACI 318 and relevant ASTM standards, with loads per ASCE 7. We map our BIM RC templates and naming to your BEP and company standards.
How fast can you start a BIM RC rebar project?
We typically start within 2–5 business days after receiving inputs and advance payment. RFIs are answered within 48 hours. Fast-track BIM rebar detailing is available if you have critical deadlines.
How are revisions and late design changes handled?
Two revision cycles are included per stage in the unit rates. Late design changes or extra iterations are handled either on hourly Time & Material or as an additional sprint with clear scope and budget.
