Automated Rebar Coordination for Seismic-Heavy Markets
In seismic-heavy markets, rebar coordination (constructability checking) after structural design is critical. BuilderHub-R automates it directly from SS7 structural data — no manual 2D review.
Why rebar coordination matters in seismic markets
Seismic loads cause rebar congestion
Handling seismic loads on top of gravity loads makes rebar at joints dense and clashes frequent.
Clashes must be resolved before the site
On-site rebar cannot simply be bent or reduced. Every clash must be removed during design.
Clashes are always found — just too late.
Traditional workflows rely on 2D visual review or heavy manual 3D modeling.
Traditional (2D / manual 3D) — found by eye
- ✕2D visual review — clashes at joints often missed
- ✕Manual 3D — too costly to apply to every project
- ✕Local fixes break other areas
- ✕Depends on highly skilled staff
BuilderHub-R — detected automatically
- ✓3D rebar model generated automatically from SS7 data
- ✓Rebar-to-rebar / rebar-to-steel clashes detected without omission
- ✓Fix a clash, auto-propagate the impact, re-check instantly
- ✓Junior engineers can run it
