Software for concrete contractors

Concrete runs on timing

A concrete company lives and dies by the pour schedule. The truck is booked, the pump is booked, the finishers are lined up, and then the forecast turns or the inspection slips a day. One change has to reach the crew, the supplier and the client at once. And every pour has its own small surprises: a soft spot that needs more stone, a form that bowed, a client who wants the patio a foot wider.

Schedule pours around the forecast

The crew schedule shows who is on which project each day, and the forecast for each job site is a tap away. When rain moves a pour, tell Dex “Move the Garcia crew to Thursday and let them know” and the schedule and the messages are done. Your Dashboard shows who is on site at every project this morning.

Foundation takeoffs into the estimate

With the AI takeoff add-on, Dex reads the foundation plans: footings, walls, slabs and piers, with measurements, quantities and its questions spelled out. Foundation and site-work takeoffs go straight into the estimate. Dex drafts the estimate from your own past prices, and nothing is sent until you press Send. More on AI estimating.

For the quick numbers, the free concrete calculator gives yards and bags for slabs, footings and sonotubes, and the square corner calculator gives the diagonal for squaring forms.

Inspections and the record before you pour

• Inspectors sign in with the project’s QR code, so you have the date and time they were on site.
• End-of-day photos of the same spots give you a dated record of the forms and steel before the pour, and Dex tracks progress from them.
• Plans and permits stay with the project, on every crew member’s phone.

Extra work, paid

Hit rock or found bad soil? Send a change order from the project and the client approves it online before the extra stone goes in. It flows into the invoice, so you don’t eat it.

Know what each pour made

Crew hours land on the project from the time clock. Ready-mix, stone and rebar charges come in from the bank feed, and Dex suggests which project each one belongs to. The money dashboard shows profit by project, so you know which kind of work pays. Material orders to your suppliers are confirmed on a link and kept with the project.
