Price the base, send the quote the same evening, hold the pour and the prep days around it, and get 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 there is an old base to break out first.

Dig, sub-base, membrane, shuttering and mesh all point at one morning. Book the pour and the prep sits ahead of it, so a moved date takes the run.

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 pattern imprinted with a border. Put the three side by side and let the customer decide.
The finish is an option group, so choosing pattern imprinted moves the figure on screen. Thickness, mesh, sub-base depth and breaking out the old base behave the same way.
Enter the area and the rate handles the rest, so the quote written on the tailgate matches the one you would have done at the desk.
Dig, muck away and sub-base sit apart from the concrete, which is what stops a customer assuming the mix cost twice what it did.
Document numbering is set once and does not move, so the quote you sent and the invoice that follows still point at one another.
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 dropped kerb and the fall to the road as options, so a sloping frontage does not price like a flat one.
A finish upgrade on the same area, with pattern, colour and sealer each priced separately so the customer can see what they are choosing.
Square metres and thickness set the price, and the visit to check levels and sub-base gets booked before you commit a wagon to the 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 alongside the builder’s programme. Prep, membrane and pour go in as separate visits so a delay upstream only moves what it should.
Usually the second job at an address you have already been to. Start it from the customer record and last year’s drive is right there.
Half-day work that only pays beside something you already have on. Slot ranking on Pro brings up the times that keep the travel down.
Break-out, muck away and pour go in separately, which is the only way a fortnight of work reads honestly on a single quote.
Priced per square metre with the finish level as an option, and the return visit for cutting joints booked before you leave site.
Quoted off the slab already there, with crack repair as an option, because nobody knows the count until they are standing on it.
Every concreting day is a chain: dig, sub-base, membrane, shuttering, wagons, finish. One link moves and the rest is obliged to follow.
Prep in front and joint cutting behind stay attached to the job, so a wet Tuesday is one change rather than four phone calls.
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 drive 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 card machine to find and no invoice quietly living in the van door.
Groundwork and pour can carry their own payment request on Pro. They come after the booking, not at the point a date is picked.
Concrete has a delivery radius whether or not you want one, and a job on the wrong side of the county costs a wagon rather than a drive.

No. There is no national concreter’s licence, and site access is usually a matter of the CSCS card the principal contractor asks for rather than anything a booking system can verify. Carry your own cards. What this handles is the quoting, the pour dates and the money.
Yes. Area in square metres is one of the pricing drivers, so a 45 square metre drive and an 18 square metre garage base come off one rate. Thickness, mesh and the mix sit on top as options that each move the total.
Yes, as an option on the quote. If you work to the designated concretes in BS 8500, put those on the option and the customer sees what they are paying for rather than a word like "standard" doing all the work.
Move the job to the next workable day. The customer is told and the gang sees the change on their phones. Nothing is retyped and nobody arrives at 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 out from the drive and settle before you load the van. Staged payments across dig and pour are Pro as well, and they sit 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 carry the same treatment. Turn it off and nothing on the document refers to it.
