Rebar Auditing & Reconciliation
Find out where the steel actually went.
We reconcile the steel that was delivered against the steel the drawings called for, and account for the difference: cutting waste, over-ordering, unrecorded variation, offcuts never returned, and theft.
Why this goes wrong.
Steel is usually the largest single material cost on an RCC job, and the one least often reconciled properly. A three to five percent unexplained gap is common, and it is almost always written off, because nobody has the evidence to argue it.

Leakage
The unexplained gap named, quantified and attributed instead of written off.

Common questions.
At what stage should steel reconciliation be done?
Ideally at every slab cycle, or at least monthly — not at handover. Reconciliation at the end of a job is an accounting exercise. Reconciliation during the job is a cost control that still changes the outcome, because the findings can be applied to the pours that have not happened yet.
What records do you need?
Approved drawings and BBS, delivery challans and MRNs, site issue registers, and the scrap or offcut returns. Where records are incomplete we reconcile against what exists and state the confidence limits. A partial reconciliation with honest gaps is far more useful than a tidy number nobody believes.
What is a realistic cutting wastage figure?
For well-managed RCC work with schedules optimised against stock lengths, three to five percent is achievable. Above that, the cause is usually schedule optimisation rather than site practice, which is fixable, and is exactly what the audit is for.
