Concrete estimating guides
These notes explain how FK Concrete Estimating measures Division 03. They are reference pages for contractors, not a quote and not a substitute for the issued drawings.
What does a concrete takeoff include?
The workbook shape for cubic yards, formwork square feet, and rebar pounds, plus the drawing list to send with a bid.
How is formwork contact area measured?
Which concrete faces count as SFCA, which formwork items stay out of the quantity, and a sample line.
How does bar length become rebar weight?
Nominal pounds per foot for common bar sizes, and why laps and mesh are not buried in the bar total.
