Built for concrete

Software for concrete contractors

Slabs, footings, driveways, patios. Concrete is unforgiving about two things — what you ordered and what the weather did — and both of them decide whether the job made money. TradesOps quotes off area and thickness, keeps the pour on a schedule that watches the forecast, and shows you the margin before the truck is booked.

Where concrete jobs lose money

Not the dramatic failures — the ordinary ones that happen on a normal week.

Quoting off the top of your head

Square footage, thickness, waste, rebar, forms and finish all move the number. Enter the dimensions and the quote prices itself off your own rates, so the same job costs the same whoever writes it up.

Ordering short — or ordering too much

Yardage is calculated from the same dimensions you quoted, with your waste factor applied. Short loads and half a truck going home are both expensive, and both come from doing the sum twice.

The forecast deciding your week

Scheduling shows the weather against each pour, so a wet Thursday gets moved on Tuesday instead of at seven in the morning with the crew already loaded.

Concrete questions

Can it work out how much concrete I need?

Yes. Give it the area and the thickness and it returns the yardage with your waste factor applied, along with the forms, rebar and mesh for that job type. Change the thickness and everything downstream updates.

Can I use my own prices?

The price book ships filled in so you are not starting from a blank screen, but every line is yours to change. Once you set your ready-mix rate, every future quote uses it.

Does it handle pour logs and site records?

Yes — pour logs, mix designs, daily site notes and photographs all attach to the job, so the record of what went down and when is in the same place as the invoice for it.
