Point.
Talk.
Bid.The AI concrete estimating app that sees the job, measures the grade, and catches what you miss.

Rebar is the estimating app for concrete contractors. Point your phone at the job, tell it what you're doing, and hand the customer a priced, line-item bid before you leave the driveway.

  • No forms. No tape. No extra gear.
  • AI measures the grade. No more guessing.
  • Bid in their hands before you leave.

Tell it the job.

Drop a pin at each corner.

I was blown away. It did the whole thing for me just by showing it the job with my phone. The grade, the square footage, the material, the labor. Everything.

How it works

HOW IT WORKS

ONE WALK. FULL BID.

Walk the job, talk it through, and Rebar turns what you saw, said and measured into a bid you can hand over before you leave.

  1. 01 · WALK & TALK.

    Walk the job and tell Rebar what you're going to do, the way you'd explain it to a new hand. Use your own words. Don't worry about pauses, restarts or saying it perfectly.

  2. 02 · DROP THE CORNERS.

    Walk the edge and drop a pin at each corner. Rebar builds the footprint and measures the grade using the phone you're already carrying.

  3. 03 · REVIEW & PRICE.

    Rebar builds the line items from your numbers, then reviews the whole walk: what you said, what it saw, and what's missing. When something could change the bid, it asks before you send.

  4. 04 · SEND THE BID.

    Your finished estimate is ready in minutes, with your company name on top and every line yours to change. Send it while the customer is still there.

YOUR NUMBERS. YOUR BID.

Rebar prices every job from your rates. Change a number once and it remembers, fine-tuning every estimate to the way you run your business.

A few minutes on the job. A finished bid in your customer's hands before you leave.

Sample job · Rebar's starting numbersMade with Rebar
  1. A ·

    Your company on top.

    Your name, phone, town and license number, not ours.

  2. B ·

    Written the way you'd say it.

    Specs go inside the work, so the customer reads a job, not a parts list.

  3. C ·

    Priced by the job, not by the bag.

    Every piece of work has its price, and there's no materials list to shop.

  4. D ·

    Clear on what's not included.

    The permit, the sealer and the owner's private lines are written down, so there's no argument later.

Charlie Reagan, founder of Rebar, with his son on his shoulders

“Why are we still doing the estimates after we leave the job, when the whole job is right in front of us?”

Charlie Reagan, founder

AI THAT WAS BUILT IN THE FIELD.

Charlie Reagan has been building software for twenty years. That's his trade, the way concrete is yours.

He spent time in concrete sales and estimating, walking jobs with contractors, and saw good contractors lose jobs over the estimate, not the work. The work was good. The bid was just too slow, too much work, or didn't capture everything the job needed.

So he built Rebar.

Built in the field with working contractors, Rebar uses the latest AI to do something fundamentally different: you walk the job, talk through what you're building, and Rebar builds the estimate.

That's the idea behind Rebar: bring the work of estimating back to where the work is.

Rebar's home office is in Hagerstown, Maryland. Not in Silicon Valley, not overseas.

FAQ

FAIR QUESTIONS.

  • Do I have to type everything into Rebar?

    No. Rebar is built around talking and pointing, not filling out forms. Walk the job and tell it what you're doing; the AI measures it, builds the line items and only asks about what you didn't say.

  • Can Rebar measure a concrete driveway with my phone?

    Yes. Rebar measures the footprint and grade of a concrete job with your phone as you walk it. You don't need a tape, a measuring wheel or a separate measuring device.

  • How long does a concrete estimate take with Rebar?

    A few minutes on site. Once you're done talking, the priced estimate is ready in seconds for your review. Make any changes, then put it in your customer's hands before you leave.

  • Are my prices and business data private?

    Yes. Your numbers are yours. Your rates, prices, crew and job times stay private to your account and encrypted. We never share them with another contractor, never use them to price anyone else's job, and never sell them. Delete your account and your data goes with it.

  • Can I use my own prices and crew rates?

    Yes. Rebar prices every estimate from your numbers. It starts with researched rates. Change any number once, like your hourly rate or your markup, and Rebar remembers it for every job after.

  • Does Rebar learn how I work?

    Yes. Rebar learns your rates, crew and usual way of doing a job, so every job asks less. The first job asks the most.

  • Will Rebar catch things I forget to price?

    That's one of Rebar's jobs: it reviews the whole walk for things you may have missed. If it sees something important you didn't mention, like a stone base under a tear-out, it asks rather than quietly adding a charge.

  • Can I change the estimate before it goes to my customer?

    Yes. Nothing goes to your customer until you send it. Rebar shows what it assumed, you can undo or move a pin while you walk, and you can change any line on the estimate.

  • What kinds of concrete jobs can Rebar estimate?

    Rebar is built for concrete flatwork: driveways, patios, sidewalks, aprons and slabs, residential and light commercial, including tear-outs. Steps, footers and walls are next.

  • Does my customer need the Rebar app?

    No. Your customer gets a clean estimate with your company name on it, and opens it on their phone or computer. No app, no account.

  • Does Rebar work on iPhone and Android?

    Yes. Rebar runs on iPhone and Android, on most phones from the last few years.

  • Does Rebar work without cell service?

    Rebar needs a data connection to build the bid, but a weak signal won't lose your work. If it drops mid-walk, keep going and nothing you captured is lost. Walk it in daylight.

  • What does Rebar cost?

    Rebar is free during early access, and there will always be a 7-day free trial. Pricing will be announced when Rebar officially launches.
