Abstract This study simplifies the rebar quantity calculation process during the detailed design stage using a LOD200-level model. The process leverages BIM structural elements and rebar arrangement tables to estimate rebar quantities. It was applied to a case model to assess accuracy and applicability. The restructured estimation formulas, based on existing formulas and BIM element analysis, were implemented in the process. In the case model, the average error rates were 2.54% for the main rebar and 17.88% for stirrups compared to baseline quantities. The main rebar quantities fell within an acceptable range, while stirrups showed a significant deviation. The error in main rebar quantities is due to not accounting for splicing lengths and locations, while the high error rate in stirrups is linked to discrepancies between the estimation formulas and shop drawings. Future research should focus on incorporating vector values and positions to improve continuity determination and expanding automatic rebar quantity calculations to cover various beam types beyond general large and small beams.
