Software for concrete contractors
A patio slab involves excavation, forms, reinforcement, placement and cleanup, with decisions between them. Keep the business side of that work organized so the owner, crew and customer can see which service was agreed before the next site visit or invoice.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
The customer sees a slab, but demolition, subbase work, access and forms shape the job. A quote that describes only the finished area leaves too much ambiguity when existing ground conditions differ from what was discussed.
Truck access, staging space and the distance from placement matter to the plan. Capture practical site details early, then confirm logistics directly rather than expecting an appointment on a calendar to settle the placement method.
An edge detail, broom finish, joint layout or approved decorative change needs a shared understanding. If it is only discussed on site, the invoice may reach someone who never heard why the scope changed.
Supplier purchases, equipment hire and crew time may accumulate while a project remains unfinished. Keeping those records beside the business paperwork helps the owner review the job without searching through delivery slips and personal notes.

Explore this featureA day in the life
Discuss access, existing surfaces, intended use and the desired finish. Identify what needs professional design or assessment before agreeing the commercial scope, and keep excluded work clear.
Separate preparation from placement and any approved additions. Use your own takeoff and supplier information for quantities and prices, then review the description with the person authorized to approve the project.
If access or the requested finish changes, discuss the effect on the service and estimate. Update the business record so the crew's instructions and customer agreement continue to describe the same project.
Review completed stages and recorded costs before invoicing. Share the invoice PDF through your device and record money received by your existing method, retaining specialist project records through your normal process.

Trades & construction starts with Job, Client and linked Properties. Scheduling and time are enabled. Stock begins off and needs enabling in Modules & terms before you use it for held materials.
No. It does not assess curing, strength or site conditions. Make technical decisions through qualified professional procedures and enter the appointments and completed work that follow those decisions into your business records.
