Reinforcement Bar
works rate estimation
Reinforcement bar cut, bend
and fixed
Weight of the rebar is accordance to the diameter
of the bar
Rebar have to be cut and bend and fixed
Wastage 5% at site and 2 % wastage ready cut

Example
Develop the estimate cost for reinforcement bar
T25 install at foundation and T12 at wall. Both of
the reinforcement will be cut and bend at site with
below following data :
Reinforcement bar price
RM 2500/ tonne
Tying wire
RM 3.50/kg
Labour cost (barbender)
RM 100.00/day
Labour cost (helper)
RM 50.00
Output
for
(arrange)
1.5 hour per tonne
helper
Cost of material (rebar) 1 tonne
Bar size R10
5% of wastages
Tying wire = 10 kg x RM 3.50
= RM 2333.33
= RM 116.67
= RM 35
Labour cost for 1000 kg (1 tonne)
1. for arrange the rebar
Labour cost = 1.5 hour x RM 70/8 hour
= RM 13.13
2. Labour cost for cutting and bending
Bar bender = 30 hour x RM 106/8 hour
= RM 397.5
Labour cost for install and fixed the rebar
Bar bender = 50 hour x RM 106/8 hour
+ 15% profit & overhead
= RM 530
RM 3425.63
RM 513.84
RM 3939.47
Cost per kg of cut, bend and install rebar R10 = RM
3939.47/1000 kg
= RM 3.94
Cost of material (rebar)
Bar size T25
= RM 2500
5% of wastages
= RM 125
Tying wire = 6 kg x RM 3.50
= RM
21
Labour cost for 1000 kg (1 tonne)
for arrange the rebar
Labour cost = 1.5 jam x RM 50/8 hour
Labour cost for cutting and bending
Bar bender = 20 hour x RM 100/8 hour
Labour cost for install and fixed the rebar
Bar bender = 25 hour x RM 100/8 hour
+ 15% profit & overhead
= RM 9.375
= RM 250
= RM 312.5
RM 3217.9
RM 482.7
RM 3700.6
Cost per kg of cut, bend and install rebar T16 = RM 3700.6/1000 kg
= RM 3.70
