AI for Concreters

Pouring concrete is a dance with the weather. Quoting is death by text message. And reviews? Yeah nah. AI handles all 3 so you can stay on the float and off the phone.

AI Overview

AI automation for concreters handles quote intake from photos, weather-aware pour scheduling, project progress updates, and review requests. It lets Australian concreters get quotes back to customers faster, spot weather risk before the truck is loaded, and ask every finished customer for a Google review without remembering to.

The 3 things making concreting harder than it needs to be.

The pour's the easy bit.

Quoting by text message

Customer sends 3 blurry photos. You text back for measurements. They reply a day later. You ask about access. Another day. By the time you quote, the job's gone to the bloke who replied faster.

Rain ruining the pour

You booked a slab for Thursday. Thursday morning, storm rolls in. You ring 5 customers to reschedule. Half don't answer. Your week is now a game of Tetris you're losing.

Zero Google reviews

Your work's brilliant. Your driveways are art. But your Google profile has 11 reviews from 2019. Nobody's asking for new ones because you're too busy pouring the next job.

The 4 automations that run your admin while you run the boom pump.

Built once, working while you work.

Quote Intake with Photos

Customer uploads photos and measurements via a simple form. AI asks the smart follow-ups (exposed? mesh? access?) and drafts a quote for you to approve in minutes.

Weather-Aware Scheduling

AI pulls the 72-hour forecast and flags at-risk pours. Reschedules go out before you load the truck. Your week stops being a Tetris game.

Project Progress Updates

Prep done. Pour booked. Cure started. Ready to walk on. Customers get timely SMS updates and you stop fielding "how's it going?" calls.

Review Requests

48 hours after the job wraps, AI sends a Google review request while the customer's still admiring their fresh slab. Your star count finally catches up to your workmanship.

Works with the job management software you already use.

No new software. Your setup stays.

Questions concreters actually ask us.

Can AI really quote a concrete job from photos?
AI handles the initial intake: customer uploads photos and measurements, AI asks the right follow-up questions (exposed? reinforcement? access?), and drafts a quote for you to approve. You still make the call, but the prep work is done in seconds not hours.
Does it integrate with ServiceM8 and AroFlo?
Yes. We integrate with ServiceM8, AroFlo, and Tradify. Customer records, quotes, and job schedules sync without anyone rekeying data. Your existing workflow stays, it just gets faster.
How does weather-aware scheduling work?
AI pulls the 72-hour forecast and flags pours at risk of rain. You can auto-reschedule or message the customer to agree a new date before you load the truck. No more ringing 6 customers on Thursday morning.
What about keeping customers updated during the job?
AI sends progress updates (prep done, pour scheduled, cure started, ready to walk on) so you're not fielding "how's it going?" texts every hour. Customers love the transparency.
How fast can we get set up?
Typically 2 to 3 weeks. We start with quote intake because it saves the most time per week, then layer in scheduling and reviews.
