Tear-out, base, rebar and finish priced by the square foot, the mix and the volume on the order, the forecast on the sheet, and the cure counted out to the day they can drive on it — with a driveways page on your website. Daybook speaks concrete.
Concrete and paving is a project trade, and the app was built for project work: a lead, a site visit, a quote, a win, a date on the schedule, an invoice. Not a template with a different noun in the headline: concrete and paving has its own job types, its own checklists, its own quoting words, its own price list and its own website — and every screen that used to say brick or mortar says slab, base or broom finish to a concrete contractor.
The pour is the part that earns its keep, because it is the part you cannot do again. The pre-pour checklist is everything that has to be true before the first truck: locates in, forms set and checked to the string line, base compacted and graded, rebar or mesh on chairs, vapour barrier down on an interior slab, the footing inspection passed, the concrete ordered by mix, volume and time, the pump and the finishing crew booked, a weather and temperature plan written down, and the client’s signature on the layout and the elevations. The pour day log records the loads, the mix, the slump and the air, who finished it, where the control joints were laid out and how it was cured — the record a crack complaint is settled on a year later. The cure & handover names the day they can walk on it and the day they can drive on it, and writes down the care you actually told them.
The concrete & paving toolkit.
On top of everything Daybook does for every trade — the full list is here — concrete & paving gets its own tools.

Checklists written for concrete crewsCrew and up
A pre-pour checklist signed by the client on the layout and the elevations, with the concrete order and the weather plan on it; a pour day log with the loads, the mix, the slump and air, the finish, the joints and the curing method; and a cure & handover with the forms stripped, the joints cut, the sealer applied or a date set, the foot-traffic and vehicle dates written out and the care told to the client — attached to the right jobs automatically.
Quotes and paperwork in your words
Driveway, walkway & patio, slab & foundation, decorative & stamped, repair & lifting, asphalt & sealcoating, commercial flatwork — the job types, the quoting examples and the document preview all speak concrete, and the units default to square feet because that is what a slab is sold in.
Tags for who sends you the work
Referral, Google search, repeat customer, builder / GC, lawn sign and property manager as marketing sources; driveway & patio, slab & foundation, decorative, asphalt, repair & lifting and commercial as job specialties; homeowner, builder / GC, property manager and commercial as client tiers — seeded on day one, yours to edit.
AI that knows the trade
Forms, base, rebar and mesh, broom finish, stamped and exposed aggregate, control joints, cure, tear-out, sealcoat and sealer, mudjacking, flatwork, yards and MPa — drafts and job summaries use a concrete contractor’s vocabulary, and the auto-classifier files asphalt, blacktop or sealcoat as asphalt even when a driveway is named, anything stamped or coloured as decorative whatever the slab is, cracks, sinking, heaving and lifting as repair, and a garage pad, basement floor or footing as slab and foundation. It will not promise a pour date without the forecast.
