What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten reinforcing iron and rebar workers wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 01
Determine quantities, sizes, shapes, and locations of reinforcing rods from blueprints, sketches, or oral instructions.
Duty 02
Space and fasten together rods in forms according to blueprints, using wire and pliers.
Duty 03
Position and secure steel bars, rods, cables, or mesh in concrete forms, using fasteners, rod-bending machines, blowtorches, or hand tools.
Duty 04
Cut rods to required lengths, using metal shears, hacksaws, bar cutters, or acetylene torches.
Duty 05
Place blocks under rebar to hold the bars off the deck when reinforcing floors.
Duty 06
Cut and fit wire mesh or fabric, using hooked rods, and position fabric or mesh in concrete to reinforce concrete.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most reinforcing iron and rebar workers win public work as subcontractors to construction and facilities primes, and through small-business set-aside programs. Primes vet subs fast — a living capability card with your licenses, bonding posture, and recent work is how you get the call instead of getting screened out. We build it to be that fast yes.
