How to make estimating & costing of a Civil Engineering project with excel

Waseem Raja, a professional Civil Engineer, presents a useful construction video tutorial that focuses on how to estimate and make costing of civil engineering project in excel spreadsheet. The video specifically explains bar bending schedule of RCC slab and quantity surveying.

Bar bending schedule is used to make the reinforcement calculation for reinforced concrete beam. It offers details of reinforcement cutting length, type of bends and bend length.

The bar bending schedule is created and delivered to the steel bar steel yard to cut and to bend the bars. Bar bending schedule contains the basic of details available in the drawings which bar benders can easily understand. It consists of all the details like bar mark, bar type and size, number of units, length of a bar, shape code, distance between stirrups (column, plinth, beam) etc which are essential for steel fabrication.

Benefits of the Bar Schedule:

1. If a bar schedule is prepared and arranged as per the lengths, it will cause a cost-effective bar cutting, lessen the bar cutting wastages.
2. It becomes simpler to control the reinforcement stock necessary for determined time duration.
3. It will facilitate fabrication of R/F with structure.
