International detailing

RebarCAD is a global player in the truest sense of the word. International versions for North America, UK (CADS RC) and South Africa have seen the adoption of RebarCAD / CADS RC across diverse worldwide markets. RebarCAD / CADS RC is often the default choice for many international and prestige projects, the software having earned its reliability and consistency credentials.

Many international consultants have set up detailing divisions in India and CADS India can provide CADS RC / RebarCAD to enable detailing to international codes.

In the USA RebarCAD has grown to become the dominant bar bending schedule software and rebar detailing software for US rebar fabricators. CADS RC enjoys similar prestige in the UK and has been used to detail everything from the Crossrail project to the award winning Blavatnik School of Government in London. Working with standards organisations across the world has enabled us to both contribute to detailing codes as well as ensure our software meets the latest requirements.

"The use of RebarCAD has helped us to manage our reinforcement steel inventory, eased checking and it is very precise in respect to drawings. With the help of RebarCAD we have significantly reduced the steel scrap."

Jayant Verma, Assistant Manager - Planning

"It is solely due to the RebarCAD software that so many drawings can be prepared by our team. Our team were trained within a short time span on the software. The BBS and bar reinforcement tonnage all came out smoothly and correct first time – we are really happy with the performance of the software."

Mithun Das, Project Coordinator

“The RebarCAD software is very user friendly. Not only did we accurately calculate the steel quantity, we were also able to efficiently use the off cuts to substantially reduce the quantity of scrap.”

Mr. Kamlesh Kumar, Engineer (Design)

“We were provided with excellent support from the CADS technical team with very helpful responses to our various queries. Using the RebarCAD software meant we were able to produce detailed design drawings which led to the correct execution on the site.”

Mr Amarnath R Boraiah, Design Manager

“After we started using RebarCAD software, we recorded scrap as low as 2%, when it was as high as 10% before. We have also been able to do high quality and accurate drawings at a faster pace. We are glad we invested in RebarCAD and shall recommend it to those who need to professionalise their rebar engineering processes.”

Alagappan, RCM, OMPL

“RebarCAD enabled accurate calculation of the bar length and its weight based on IS codes with excellent precision. Revisions in the bar bending schedule can be done quickly with just a double click on a bar, reinforcement can be placed quickly in structural elements and the provision of three types of report format is very useful. Good optimisation automatically helps to minimise the quantity of scrap rebar.”

Mr Ravdip Hira, Senior Architect

“In an industry where deadlines and cost efficiency are no more a cause for appreciation but have become a standard for survival, RebarCAD helps us achieve that. CADS were the missing link in our efforts to automate the BBS generation from detailed drawings.”

Mr. L. Alakappan, DGM Civil

“We used RebarCAD for the drawings of the reinforcement of the main gate and for the reinforcement for the piles for building block 11. The drawings were done correctly and to our complete satisfaction. We found that in RebarCAD the reinforcement is totally correct and the software is easy and less time consuming.”
