Why professionals use it

Shape codes, not spreadsheets

Pick the shape, enter the leg dimensions, and the app returns cutting length and weight with the bend deductions already applied.

Built-in reference library

Rebar size charts for different countries, physical properties, checklists and cover requirements — the things you would otherwise look up mid-schedule.

Testing references on hand

Tensile, rebend, bend, chemical composition, bond strength, corrosion, fatigue and hardness tests, each with information and a generated report.
