AI Bar Bending Schedule

Upload structural PDF plans and get a complete bar bending schedule in minutes. AI detects bars by size, lengths, bends, lap splices and hooks.

Key Benefits

  • Automatic bar count by size (#3–#11 / ø6–ø32mm)
  • Length detection including bends and lap splices
  • Total tonnage calculation with waste included
  • Export to Excel in standard BBS format
  • Supports PDF, DWG and IFC plans

How it works

Upload your structural plan in PDF format. AI analyzes each element (beams, columns, slabs, walls) and extracts every bar detail: size, total length, bend type, lap splice length per code, and quantity.

Code compliance

The algorithm considers ACI 318, BS 8666, EN 1992 standards for development lengths, lap splices and standard hooks.

From schedule to estimate

The generated BBS integrates directly with the cost breakdown module: every bar gets its price per lb, fabrication cost and placement cost.
