Material Schedules and Bills

Generate material schedules, bills of materials (BOM), and quantity takeoffs for panels including concrete, rebar, embeds, and hardware.

Functional Purpose¶

Schedule/Bill Generation - Automatically generates material schedules and quantity takeoffs from panel configurations for purchasing, estimating, and fabrication planning.

Key Functions:

Concrete quantities (volume, weight by panel/project)
Rebar schedules (bar marks, sizes, quantities, lengths)
Embed schedules (plates, inserts, hardware)
Hardware lists (bolts, anchors, accessories)
Cost estimates (material costs)
Purchase orders (formatted for ordering)

Typical Workflow¶

1. User selects panels (single or multiple)
2. User opens sb_dlg (Reports ? Schedule/BOM)
3. User selects schedule type: Rebar
4. System calculates:
   • Total linear feet of each bar size
   • Number of bars of each type
   • Bent shapes vs straight
5. Rebar schedule generated:
   | Mark | Size | Length | Qty | Total LF |
   |------|------|--------|-----|----------|
   | A1   | #5   | 12'-0" | 40  | 480      |
   | A2   | #4   | 10'-0" | 60  | 600      |
6. Export to PDF/CSV for fabricator/supplier

- Direct to printer

Schedule Types¶

Concrete Schedule¶

Output:

Panel Concrete Quantities

Panel    Width   Height  Thick   Volume    Weight
P-101    12'-0"  10'-0"  6"      60 CF     9,000 lbs
P-102    10'-0"  10'-0"  6"      50 CF     7,500 lbs
...

Total:   1,200 CF = 44.4 CY     180,000 lbs = 90 tons

Note: Includes 5% waste factor

Rebar Schedule¶

Output:

Rebar Bill of Materials

Mark  Size  Type        Length  Qty   Total LF  Weight
A1    #5    Straight    12'-0"  40    480       1,000 lbs
A2    #4    Straight    10'-0"  60    600       800 lbs
B1    #5    U-bar 90°   8'-0"   20    160       333 lbs
...

Total Rebar: 2,133 lbs = 1.07 tons

Embed Schedule¶

Output:

Embed Hardware Schedule

Item              Size      Qty   Unit Price  Total
Weld Plate 6×6    PL6×6×1/2 120   $15.00     $1,800
Lift Insert 5000  5000 lb   80    $12.50     $1,000
Anchor Bolt 3/4"  3/4×12"   200   $3.50      $700
...

Total Embeds: $3,500

Best Practices¶

? Include waste factors (5-10%)
? Group by bar size (rebar ordering)
? Separate panels by pour (scheduling)
? Update schedules when panels change
