Advanced reports give your shop crew clear plans for each day’s fabrication.<br /> <br /> * Make informed planning decisions<br /> Material breakdowns by bar size and bending classification give you a snapshot of what machinery will be used in a given day, helping you to make decisions about manpower and equipment assignment.<br /> * Get the right material<br /> on the right trucks<br /> In addition to assigning fabrication and delivery dates, aSa Scheduling lets you specify which orders are to be shipped on which trailers, reducing the chance of shop and delivery errors.<br /> * Know instantly whether you’ve reached your production capacity<br /> Based on shop-specific capacities that you define, each scheduled date is color-coded according to whether you are below, at, or over capacity.<br /> * No more scheduling with whiteboards and calculators<br /> aSa lets you do all of your scheduling on the computer with easy drag-and-drop tools, allowing the schedule to be viewed from any computer in your office.<br /> <br /> aSa Scheduling Rebar Software<br /> <br /> Estimation<br /> aSa Estimating allows you to take off directly from a set of printed or electronic plans to the computer keyboard – no transcribing to and from paper, no manual calculations. All entries are checked for errors and converted to pieces, lengths, and weights automatically as they are entered. Reports organize, summarize, and price material so you can quickly submit a successful bid. Pricing and other defaults are controlled by you; the estimate screen and reports can be structured to satisfy both the estimator’s needs and the bid requirements.<br /> <br /> * Estimate rebar faster<br /> Take off by structure, rather than one bar at a time. Automatically calculates standard hooks and laps.<br /> * Eliminate tedious calculations<br /> The program automatically calculates material required for common structure types, such as linear, rectangular, and circular areas, varying bars; tie configurations; galloping stirrups; and spirals. Plus, you can create your own formulas to handle other structures.<br /> * Be more accurate<br /> Each entry is checked for errors as it is entered. Calculated lengths and weights are displayed for visual verification.<br /> * Get organized<br /> Group your estimate into sections by bid item or by structures, such as foundations, walls, and footings.<br /> * Calculate estimate placing labor Based on estimate summary information and settings that you define, the program will automatically calculate man-hours and costing associated with installation labor.<br /> <br /> aSa Rebar Estimating<br /> <br /> <br /> Bar list<br /> Designed for both rebar detailers and order entry personnel, aSa Bar List encompasses two main components. The first is an interactive input screen, used to enter rebar, plain round steel, mesh, and other miscellaneous products. Built-in error-checking, advanced editing features, and automatic engineering calculations make listing material fast and simple. The second component is a powerful reporting tool. From a single list of material, you can generate a wealth of comprehensive, professional documents, including a Placing List, a Bend Detail, and the Bar List Report — a sorted, accumulated, weighed list of material with totals for each grade, coating, and bar size (diameter).<br /> <br /> * List material faster and with greater accuracy<br /> Time-saving features and built-in error-checking help you create mistake-free material lists faster.<br /> * Never enter the same information twice<br /> Previously entered customer and job information is automatically available to Bar List. Bar List Split, Get Bar List Data, and Save As tools allow you to easily move and copy takeoff from one list to another.<br /> * Eliminate hand-drawn shapes<br /> All industry standard shapes are built into the system, plus you can draw and define your own custom "special" bends using aSa Shape Manager. Shape illustrations automatically display on tags and reports.<br /> * Automate all calculations<br /> Quantities, hook lengths, slope dimensions, and radius dimensions are automatically calculated and filled in for you — even for user-defined shapes.<br /> * Generate multiple reports from a single source<br /> Enter details once. A multitude of management, fabrication, and placing reports are generated from a single material list.<br /> * Keep office, shop, and field crews informed<br /> Messages and special notations entered in Bar List allow you to communicate effectively via aSa-generated reports.
