Key features - CADS India

RebarCAD’s success is due to its advanced detailing features and technical excellence, which includes integration with fabrication software. RebarCAD can detail any structure (including those with irregular geometry) and has been successfully used on all sorts of building, transportation, water, process and power projects including many precast concrete elements.

Principle benefits:

Easy to use and fully integrated with AutoCAD to make importing outlines simple and detailing vastly more efficient
As the world’s number one detailing software your bar bending schedules can be simply shared with steel fabricators in Excel or as a pdf
Industry standard solution with a large user base in LinkedIn, making recruitment easier
Powerful editing and revision features save you valuable time when duplicating, editing or correcting
Reduced checking required and virtual elimination of errors since the BBS is continuously updated automatically
International versions for UK, North America, India and South Africa
The automated BBS reduces waste from off-cuts
Automatic RC detailing macros for stair flights, pile caps, pad footings, octagonal bases, simple beams, simple columns, slab panels, pad bases, panels and circular bar arrangements
BBS and the AutoCAD working environment are easily customisable
Bar Mark project management, matches bar marks across multiple drawings
Support for Over Stock Length Bars (OSL)
RebarCAD supports most leading coupler manufacturers
Revisions are marked and updated automatically
The “combine and compact” feature groups identical bars so they have the same label to save time on site
The bar bending schedule links directly to production software and machinery such as PEDAX and Schnell
CADS offer a combination of training, support and software maintenance: CADScover

Speak to our team

"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.”

Mr. Basudeb Mukherjee, General Manager - Estimating and Quantity Survey
