Systems for Concrete Contractors
Concrete businesses earn their income through precise estimating and high volume residential or commercial pours. Most lost work traces back to the gap between the initial site visit and the final pour, caused by slow estimate delivery and unconfirmed scheduling conflicts.
Construction & Trades
How the business actually works
Inquiry
Homeowners or general contractors request quotes for driveways, slabs, or structural work.
Site Assessment
The estimator visits the job site to measure square footage and assess soil or grade conditions.
Estimating
A formal bid is sent detailing the psi requirements, reinforcement, and finishing options.
Scheduling
The project is slotted into the production calendar based on weather windows and crew availability.
Mobilization
Forms are set, rebar is tied, and the ready-mix delivery is coordinated for the pour date.
Pour and Finish
The concrete is placed, screeded, and finished according to the project specifications.
Curing
The surface is monitored during the initial cure and forms are eventually stripped.
Final Walkthrough
The owner reviews the slab for quality and signs off on the punch list.
Invoicing
Final payment is collected and maintenance instructions for the new concrete are provided.
Where it leaks
Inquiries for new patios or driveways often come in while crews are mid-pour, leading to missed calls. If a prospect does not get an immediate response, they move to the next finisher on their list.
Taking several days to calculate yardage and material costs results in lost contracts. Speed to lead is critical when competing with other local concrete outfits.
Rain delays throw the entire production schedule into chaos without a way to update all pending clients. Manual rescheduling is time-consuming and prone to communication errors.
Waiting for checks at the job site or mailing paper invoices slows down cash flow for material costs. Failing to collect draws on larger foundation jobs puts a strain on operating capital.
Lack of before and after photos or signed change orders leads to disputes over subgrade preparation or finish quality. Verbal agreements on site often result in unpaid extra work.
What LATTICE can build

Capture digital signatures for change orders and final punch lists directly on a mobile device to ensure legal protection.
Automates internal reminders to confirm mud orders with the plant 24 hours before a scheduled pour.
Requests a public review and photos from the homeowner immediately after the forms are stripped and the job is cleaned up.
Automates the collection of deposits and final balances through secure digital links, reducing the need to chase checks.
