Rebar prices


Recommended Posts

Hi - am about to press the button on rebar purchase (>40 ton) and thought to check in here first. Would appreciate info on price ranges for rebar inc bending on a loose bar per ton basis which seems to be how it gets priced up. I'm on south coast so accept prices may be bit higher down here that outside Port Talbot steel works - assuming it is still running!

cheers

Your house has over 40 tons of rebar in it? Holy S#*t !

Not crazy large but on a hill with 2 floors having slabs that are 300mm thick with 450 edges, a few thickenings under interior walls and a 1.5m deep toe. That and the  walls are 200mm thick concrete. All seems to add up to a lot of concrete and steel - should last a long time ?

A bit off topic but how are you organising the construction?  That amount of concrete and steel you would normally have a specialist in to do it, or do you have a main contractor?  Just wondered why you were shopping around for materials?

@Adam, who's the SE? 

Is the SE a specialist in designing for you ICF?

I ask because when I consulted the specialist SE for my ICF, he halved (or more) the amount of rebar that had been suggested by the original SE.

 

If your ICF is Durisol,  I may be able to point you to a specialist SE. (If he is still practising)

Using a co that specialises in ICF building for all concrete pours, wall build, steel install, concrete plank floor install and waterproof product install - they have priced for the build I'm sorting materials - no matter what people say they never seem to get prices as good as the person that actually has to pay can (if they have the time of course). Ground workers are doing rebar install.

They've done some before - but maybe guilty of being over cautious, hard to tell - it is a challenging site. Thanks for the offer (EPS BTW) but at this stage, even if steel requirement was reduced considerably it would cost time + another SE cost and just image the drama over liability if you get 2 x SE firms involved ?
