FAQ — BIM RC pricing & delivery
How do you estimate $/m² vs $/t?
$/m² suits early or complete scopes (LOD 300–400). $/t fits LOD 400 rebar-only. We recommend the cheaper after reviewing your inputs.
What deliverables do I get at LOD 400?
Fully detailed rebar model, tagged sheets, BBS (CSV/XLS), PDFs/DWG, IFC, and if needed NC for bending machines.
Which codes do you follow?
EU: Eurocode 2 (EN 1992) with National Annexes. USA: ACI 318 / ASTM, with loads per ASCE 7. We align to your BEP and naming.
How fast can you start?
Kick-off in 2–5 business days after inputs and advance. RFI response ≤48h. Fast-track available.
How do revisions work?
Two revision cycles are included per stage. Extra scope is billed hourly or via an agreed sprint.
