Today's delight: making holes in concrete

Sounds like my brother, did he sort your bloody hole out though.

I found that rebar bit I mentioned a while back in this thread. 20mm, SDS, German Hawera brand:

Hi, 

Would anyone know the potential cost of rebar in an ICF bungalow, raft foundation, 150 sqm,  45 sqm of glass?

Thanks.

Send your drawings to a re bar company they will cost it out

in the grand scheme of things, like concrete, eps, labour the steel is very cheap. 

The glass area won’t alter anything, your walls will be the heaviest part. 

 

@willbish has done one recently.

I had a huge amount of rebar in my 90m2 raft. Two layers of A393 mesh, perimeter cages and lateral cages criss crossing the middle. Steel cost £2.2k 

 

Rebar for the ICF house on top was only used above window and door openings. £200

 

Amount of rebar varies depending on brand of ICF I believe.
