Concrete

The Concrete pack tunes Manuall for flatwork and structural pours: driveways, patios, walks, slabs, footings and steps, plus repair, leveling, resurfacing, sealing and decorative work. Apply it at signup from the Trade dropdown, or anytime from Settings -> Vertical Packs.

What the pack adds

Custom fields

Nine, on three record types.

• Job: Scope (Pour, Repair, Resurface, Stamp / Decorative), Yards (Material), Finish (Broom, Smooth, Stamped, Exposed Aggregate), Pump Needed.
• Lead: Dimensions.
• Invoice: Warranty (Years).

Nothing ships on Customer or Equipment. Gate codes, HOA contacts, a repeat GC's spec preferences: add those yourself in Custom Fields.

Job templates

Thirteen, each with an estimated duration, required skills and prep notes. Driveway Pour (1,440 min, Concrete + Finishing), Tear-Out and Replace (1,920, adds Demolition), Slab / Foundation (960), Stamped / Decorative (960, Stamping), Patio / Walkway Pour (720), Resurface / Overlay (480), Stairs / Steps (480), Equipment Pad (300), Repair / Patch (240), Slab Leveling (240, Leveling), Seal / Caulk (180), Annual Maintenance Visit (180), Service Call / Site Assessment (60).

Those minutes are calendar span on a multi-day pour, not hours a crew stands on the site. If you dispatch by the hour, trim them before the slot finder starts blocking whole weeks.

Each template pre-fills billable lines. Driveway Pour puts 600 sq ft of Driveway Pour on the job; Tear-Out and Replace stacks Removal and Haul-Off, Site Prep and the pour at 600 each; Slab / Foundation 400; Resurface 500; Stamped 300; Repair / Patch 40 linear feet of Crack Repair; Stairs 4 steps. Those are placeholders sized to a typical two-car drive. Put your real measurement in before the estimate goes out. See Job Templates.

Twenty-four, all badged "Set your price" until you save them.

• Per sq ft: Driveway Pour, Patio / Walkway Pour, Slab / Foundation Pour, Stamped Concrete, Exposed Aggregate Finish, Spall / Chip Patch, Resurface / Overlay, Concrete Sealing, Concrete Leveling, Site Prep + Grading and Gravel Base, Concrete Removal and Haul-Off.

Site prep is its own line at $2.75 per sq ft, and the pour lines say prep is extra. If your number has always had prep baked in, drop the prep line or cut the pour price, or you bill it twice. Prices are a 2025 U.S. national average and say nothing about your ready-mix cost this week. Price Book.

Checklists

Three, shipped for you to check against your own procedure. Pour Checklist (23 items) runs sub-base, vapor barrier, rebar, slope, then the numbers that settle an argument later: ticket number, mix strength ordered, yards delivered, air content, temperature at discharge, water added on site, minutes from batch to discharge, cylinders cast, joint spacing, cure method, photos before and after.

Repair Checklist (13 items) is prep and bond. Pre-Service Safety Check (9 items) is silica control, the 811 locate ticket, excavation protection, eyewash for cement burns, washout containment, and the truck and pump path. Eleven of the thirteen templates attach one; Seal / Caulk and Service Call / Site Assessment ship without. Checklists.

Parts

Twenty-two truck-stock items under a CN- part number prefix: rebar, mesh, tie wire, chairs, anchor bolts, doweling epoxy, form stakes, duplex nails, form release, 10 mil vapor barrier, 4000 psi bagged mix, expansion joint filler, backer rod, self-leveling sealant, etch cleaner, cure and seal, vertical patch mortar, resurfacer, color hardener, antique release. Cost and price are a national average, on hand is zero, and no reorder point is set, because nothing here knows what is on your truck. Counting it is your first pass. Parts and Inventory.

Fifty-nine bill-of-materials rows tie those parts to fifteen services, so a service shows what the work consumes. The quantities are sized to a nominal job, not to one unit: Driveway Pour carries 14 sheets of mesh and 3 gallons of cure and seal, which is a 600 sq ft slab, not a square foot. Rescale before you lean on them for ordering.

Seasonal pricing proposals

Six, all switched off. Cold-Weather Pour Season on Driveway Pour, Dec 1 to Mar 15, x1.20. Peak Patio Season on Patio / Walkway Pour, Apr 15 to Aug 15, x1.12. Pre-Winter Sealing Rush on Concrete Sealing, Sep 1 to Oct 31, x1.10. Winter Slow Season on Concrete Leveling, Dec 1 to Feb 28, x0.88. The engine ignores an inactive rule, so nothing moves until you turn one on. The dates assume a freeze climate; in Phoenix or Tampa the cold-weather rule is simply wrong. Seasonal Pricing.

Typical workflow

• Site assessment first on anything you have not walked. Service Call and Trip Charge is waived if they book on the spot, which is the only reason it prices at all.
• Measure, then quote. A driveway or tear-out goes out as an estimate with a deposit; material is ordered before you touch the job, so a deposit is not optional. See Estimates and Deposits.
• Slabs, footings and driveway approaches usually pull a permit and an inspection. Track it on the job in Permits so the fee hits that job's margin instead of vanishing into overhead.
• Pumping, saw cutting, demo hauling and rebar tying are commonly farmed out. Log them under Subcontractors, and flag the row billed-to-customer only when the GC pays that vendor directly.
• Bad soil, buried irrigation, an old slab twice as thick as quoted: that is a Change Order, not an edit of the original estimate.
• The Annual Concrete Maintenance Plan is the repeat revenue. Wrap it in a Service Agreement and put the visit on a recurring job.

Pour day, cure time, and the quantity on a per-sq-ft line

Weather is a scheduling input, not a nuisance. A pour rained on in its first hours is a callback you eat, and cold work costs you blankets, hot water, accelerator and days of protection you cannot walk away from. Book pours on the Calendar with the real span, keep a reschedule slot behind each one, and tell the customer the drive is off limits for a week before you are standing in the yard arguing about it.

Cure time is billing time. The job stays open past the finish because saw cuts, sealer and the final photo happen days later. Close the checklist first, then invoice. And watch the quantity on every per-sq-ft line: a service priced at $8.50 per sq ft with a quantity of 1 invoices as $8.50. The template pre-fills a placeholder for exactly that reason, but a placeholder is still the wrong number for this customer. Same for Crack Repair and joint caulking in linear feet, and Steps / Stairs per step.

Re-applying and mixing packs

Applying the pack twice adds only what is missing; it never overwrites a price you set or a checklist item you rewrote. Concrete shops commonly run a second pack: Foundation Repair if you already do piers, Fence or Deck Building if you set posts, Pressure Washing for the clean-and-seal side, Junk Removal if the demo trailer earns its keep. Apply as many as fit from Vertical Packs.
