Get the Final Check With Concrete Contractor Software
You can't take a slab back once it cures. Procured takes the deposit and signed terms before the pour, then bills the balance at cleanup.
From Bid to Cleanup on a Flatwork Job
Six problems finishers raise, worst first: the final payment that never shows.
Paid Before the Slab Is Yours to Lose
The homeowner promised Sunday pickup for the final check and stopped answering. Next time, their deposit holds the pour date. A pour-day invoice and the balance follow, each sent from the job.
- Require a deposit on the quote → their money holds the pour date
- Send a pour-day invoice → cash arrives before the finishers start
- Bill the balance from the finished job → no Sunday check pickups
- Take payment through the invoice link → no waiting on the mail
- Check who still owes → call while the job is fresh
- Record a check handed over at the curb → the balance updates
Terms Signed Before the Forms Go Up
A homeowner wants a 20x24 stamped patio where the old slab sits. Price it per square foot with tear-out and sealer as lines. Late-fee and drainage terms get signed before you set forms.
- Save flatwork rates per sq ft → a driveway bid adds itself up
- Add tear-out and haul-off as a line → demo gets paid
- Offer broom finish and stamped as options → the homeowner picks
- Price footings and walls by the linear foot → foundation bids match
- Write late fees into the quote terms → no surprise at collection time
- Collect an online signature → no handshake deals over $2,000
Photos That Settle the Drainage Argument
After a hard rain, the homeowner says the patio holds water and won't pay. Your base, form and rebar photos sit in job history with dates, next to the slope you noted.
- Photo the compacted base → proof of what's under the slab
- Photo forms and rebar before the pour → no arguing the thickness
- Note the 2% slope → a record for the drainage call
- Photo the ready-mix delivery ticket → yards and time on record
- Get sign-off on the stamp pattern → no redo demand later
- Hose-test the slope and photo the runoff → proof it drained that day
Written Approval When the Job Changes
The week of the pour, the homeowner also wants a walkway to the gate. Send a quote for the added walk. They accept it online, so the extra is in writing before you form it.
- Send an add-on quote for the new walk → approval in writing
- Let them request changes on the quote → revise before you order
- Edit the quote → the change carries to the job and invoice
- Add the extra yards for a thicker slab → the upgrade gets billed
- Note a stamp color change → finishers bring the right color
- Keep each revision on record → no 'I never agreed to that' later
Rain Coming? Move the Pour in One Drag
It's 5:30 am and rain is coming. Forming, pouring and finishing sit on one multi-day job, so one drag moves all three. Your finishers see Thursday's new start before they leave home.
- Put form, pour and finish days on one job → they move together
- Note pump and plant orders on the job → one place to check
- Add extra finishers for pour day in team view → enough hands
- Put a wet-subgrade job On Hold → it stays off the pour list
- Color stamped work apart from flatwork → the right crew goes out
- Say 'move the Keller slab to Thursday 7 AM' → tap to confirm
Find Out Whether Wall Jobs Pay
Your flatwork bids win, but your wall bids never seem to pay off. Crews clock in on site, and pump and stamp-mat rental receipts go on each job. Then compare a wall job's costs with its quote.
- Log rebar, mesh and form boards used → see where materials went
- Have crews clock in at the site → labor per slab is clear
- Attach the pump truck bill to the slab → its real cost shows
- Check a wall job's costs against its quote → see if walls pay
- Approve timesheets Friday → long pour days show up in hours
- Send paid driveways to your accounting app → your bookkeeper sees each pour

Pour-Season Terms for a Small Crew
Here are the terms, plain and short.
Flatwork Crews, Not Ready-Mix Plants
Crews who pour driveways and stamped patios for homeowners get the most from Procured. Subs who live on GC (general contractor) pay apps will hit its limits fast.
| Procured Is For | Procured Is Not For |
|---|---|
| You pour driveways, patios and sidewalks for homeowners | You need AIA (American Institute of Architects) forms for builders |
| A homeowner has stiffed you on a final payment before | You need retainage tracked on GC contracts |
| You do stamped and colored work that homeowners judge closely | You run a ready-mix plant and dispatch mixer trucks |
| You sometimes sub flatwork for a local builder | You take builder POs (purchase orders) through a supplier portal |
| Your quotes still live in a spreadsheet or a notebook | You need lien waivers and preliminary notices managed |
| Rain moves your pours every few weeks in the fall | You do quantity takeoff from PDF plans |
| Most weeks, a couple of finishing crews are out pouring | You log cylinder break tests and lab results for inspectors |
What Is Concrete Contractor Software?
Concrete contractor software is the app a flatwork crew uses to bid, schedule, record and get paid for each pour. For a residential crew, the hard part is money on work that can't be undone. Procured is built for contractors who form and finish. It covers the crew's side of each job, from bid to final check.
