Price the base, send the quote that evening, hold the pour and the prep days around it, and have the invoice away while the power float is still in the van.
Online booking
Put the site visit online and it arrives with the address, the square metres and whether an old slab needs breaking out first.

Dig, hardcore, radon barrier, shuttering and mesh point at one morning. Book the pour and the prep sits in front, so a moved date takes the run.
Learn moreConcreting books further ahead than most trades, and a full page quietly loses the customer who would have waited. Better that they ask.
Any chance of a price on a new driveway? There is an old slab out the front that would need breaking out first.
Nothing free until the middle of next month and the driveway still comes in, with the address and the size on it, ready for the first opening.
Power floated and brushed, exposed aggregate, or imprinted with a border. Put the three on one page and let the customer decide.
The finish is an option group, so choosing imprinted moves the figure on screen. Thickness, mesh, hardcore depth and breaking out the old slab work the same way.
Enter the area and the rate does the rest, so a quote written at the gate matches the one you would have done at the desk.
Dig, cart-away and hardcore sit apart from the concrete, which stops a customer assuming the mix cost twice what it actually did.
Document numbering is set once and does not move, so the quote you sent and the invoice that follows still point at each other.
A slab quote is a few thousand of somebody's money, so it gets read twice and slept on. Seeing that it was opened is the difference between a follow-up call and a nagging one.
Each quote says which of the three it is and when it was last opened, so the ones worth a call are obvious at a glance.
The moment it is signed it converts into a booking, so nobody re-types a driveway into the calendar at nine at night.
Put a date on the quote and a rate you wrote in autumn cannot be held against you in the spring.
Every pour you do
Priced off square metres with the entrance and the fall to the road as options, so a sloping site does not price like a level one.
A finish upgrade on the same area, with pattern, colour and sealer priced separately so the customer sees exactly what they are choosing.
Square metres and thickness set the price, and the visit to check levels and hardcore is booked before a wagon is committed to a morning.
Booked as a run of days rather than one visit, so the dig, the inspection and the pour each hold a slot the builder can look at.
Sits inside the builder’s programme. Hardcore, insulation and pour go in as separate visits so a delay upstream only moves what it must.
Usually the second job at an address you have already worked at. Start it from the customer record and last year’s driveway is already there.
Half-day work that only pays beside something you already have on. Slot ranking on Pro raises the times that keep the travelling down.
Break-out, cart-away and pour go in separately, which is the only way a fortnight of work reads honestly on one quote.
Priced per square metre with the finish level as an option, and the return for joint cutting booked before you have left the site.
Quoted off the slab that is already down, with crack repair as an option, because nobody knows the count until they are standing on it.
Every concreting day is a chain: dig, hardcore, membrane, shuttering, wagons, finish. One link moves and the rest is obliged to follow.
The dig, the hardcore and the joint cutting are tied to the job, not to a date, so a wet week drags across in one go.
The new time is on their phones before you have put yours down. Nobody drives to a base that was stood down the night before.
Moving work around the day costs nothing at all. Automating what fills the gap it leaves is the part that sits on Pro.
The week between finishing a driveway and being paid for it is usually a week in which nobody does anything. It can see itself out.
Record what came in against the job on any plan. Nothing about the free plan stands between you and being paid.
Send the link while the finish is still going off. No machine to go looking for and no invoice living in the van door.
On a big job the groundwork can be paid for before the concrete is ordered. Pro splits it, and never at the point a date is picked.
Concrete has a delivery radius whether or not you wanted one, and a job two counties over costs a wagon rather than a drive.

No. Concreting is not licensed as a trade here, though anyone working on a construction site needs a valid SOLAS Safe Pass under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013. That stays your responsibility. This handles the quoting, the pour dates and the money.
Yes. Area in square metres is one of the pricing drivers, so a 45 square metre driveway and a 16 square metre shed base come off one rate. Thickness, mesh and finish sit on top as options, each moving the total.
The pour is the booking. Dig, hardcore and shuttering go in as their own visits ahead of it, with joint cutting behind. Move the pour and the rest of the run is in front of you rather than in a notebook on the dash.
Move it to the next workable day. The customer is told and the lads see the change on their phones. Nobody drives to a shuttered base that was stood down the night before.
Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand on any plan, at no cost. Card payments come with Pro, so a link can go from the driveway and settle before you load up. Staged payments across groundwork and pour are Pro as well, and they come after the booking rather than at checkout.
Yes. Tax is a setting on the account and on each service, so quotes, invoices and receipts all treat it identically. Turn it off and nothing on the document mentions it.
