- The math is the easy part — and it still takes all evening. Square feet to yards at thickness plus waste, forms, mesh or rebar, finish, saw cuts. You can do it in your sleep, which is roughly when you do it.
- Pour day is a countdown. Truck windows, crew sequencing, short-load fees if the yard math was off. When the form day slips, the whole chain slips with it.
- Weather calls at 5am. Pour or don't pour — and either answer reshuffles the week for every crew and every customer waiting behind it.
- The extras pour, the billing doesn't. The pump truck nobody planned, the walkway they added on a handshake, the thicker section at the apron — poured, finished, forgotten by invoice time.
What Slateworks does about it
Measure the slab from the sky
Trace the driveway, patio, or pad on the aerial — or punch in the dimensions — and the footage is done in minutes. No wheel, no return trip.
Yards, forms, and finish from your recipes
Thickness, waste, reinforcement, and finish rates the way your crews actually run them. The yard math is right, so the short-load fee never happens.
Broom, stamped, stained — side by side
Quote the finishes as options on one bid. The decorative upsell does its own selling when the customer sees the numbers next to each other.
Scheduling that knows the sequence
Form, pour, strip, saw — the days move together. When weather slides the pour, the whole chain slides with it in one motion.
Sixty-second crew reports
Yards down, finish done, added work noted — tapped in from the truck before the crew rolls to the next one.
Extras hit the invoice
The pump truck and the handshake walkway become change orders on the spot — priced and on the final bill, not left in the truck.
Built inside a real contracting business
Slateworks runs live today inside a working pavement-maintenance contractor — pricing real bids, dispatching real crews, and billing real customers. The bones that make it work there — your real costs, honest crew-day math, takeoff from the aerial — are exactly what a concrete outfit runs on.
And the AI in Slateworks never does the math. Every cost and price comes from a deterministic engine running your own numbers — the same job prices the same way every time, and you can show a customer exactly where the price came from.
We're bringing it to flatwork and decorative contractors now, and early customers get a real say in how the concrete side takes shape.
Right yards. Right price. Same day.
We're onboarding early concrete customers now. Send us one of your real bids and we'll show you what it looks like in Slateworks — measured, priced, and ready to send.
