Bar Bending Schedules Reinforcement Tonnage Summing Spreadsheet
Demo of spreadsheet available at www.YourSpreadsheets.co.uk
Aim of this very powerful Excel spreadsheet is to summarize reinforcement weights per bar diameter from multiple BBS files (bar bending schedules) on a clear an easy to read schedule. This information can then be used to calculate cost of 'as-built' reinforcement (since cost per bar diameter differ) and compare it with estimated figures. User only specifies import preferences and folder with (up to 460) BBS files - the spreadsheet will go through all these BBS files and export rebar weights and list these as a project summary schedule. This capability is obviously extremely powerful and will save days of manual work. It will be especially appreciated by Quantity Surveyors, Contractors and Project Managers. Units of weight can be either metric or imperial (bar diameters can be adjusted to suit different countries).
