Questions
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. It uses only functions that work in both Excel and Google Sheets, and it has no macros. Upload the .xlsx file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets.
Which design code does it follow?
It does not copy any code. A practice profile (IS/NBC, BS/EN, AS or ACI) fills in typical bend, hook and lap values, and you can change every one to match your drawings and specification.
Are the rates real market rates?
No. The example rates show how the workbook works. Replace them with your local rates or schedule of rates before you price a job.
Can I use it for client work?
Yes, on as many of your own projects as you like. You may not resell or share the files.
What if something does not work?
