wall re-rod, average

Concrete construction unit cost for installation of "re-rods" or "re-bars" in poured concrete walls or slabs.

Square foot.

We figure 125 square feet of placement per hour by a skilled work, with some help by an unskilled worker.

NOTE-- This quantity works for simple foundation walls or slabs with light reinforcing. For beams, stairs or other concrete formwork that involves bending and more precise placement, you should figure a much higher labor cost.

One 20 foot re-rod for every 33 square feet of concrete area (placement at approximately 18" spacing), plus a bit of utility wire.

$.42 per square foot of horizontal concrete wall area

Goldenseal calculates the foundation wall area, and uses it for this unit cost.

Based on job cost data from a couple of projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.

The use of the terms "rerod" and "rebar" seems to vary locally, but Google shows 35,000 hits for "re-rod" and 2,300,000 hits for "rebar", so it appears that the latter is much more common useage.

NOTE-- there is a rock/punk band named Rerod in Minnesota, so maybe that means that the term will make a comeback!
