Pushbuild

Software that keeps a concrete contractor's bids, pours and tickets in order.

We connect the paperwork around the pour, so bids are priced from takeoff quantities, pour dates are coordinated with the plant and the crew, delivery tickets are matched to the job, and costs are visible while the work is still open. The scope is written down and agreed before we start.

Sound familiar?

What concrete contractors tell us before a project starts.

  • I price bids from a takeoff on paper and redo the math when the plans change.
  • A pour gets moved by weather and half the people involved find out late.
  • Delivery tickets pile up in a truck and nobody matches them to a job.
  • We don't know what a job cost until it's finished.
  • Crews' hours are on a sheet that I key into payroll once a week.

What we build

Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.

Bid pricing from takeoff

Quantities for slab, footings and flatwork entered once, with material, forming, finishing and labor priced by rule into a bid you check.

Excel and VBA tools Google Sheets and Apps Script automation

Pour scheduling and weather changes

Pour dates shared with the crew, plant and inspector, with a message to each when a date moves.

n8n, Make and Zapier automation

Delivery ticket capture

Photos of tickets read for yard count, mix and time, and matched to the job so the supplier invoice can be checked.

PDF and document data extraction Python scripts and utilities

Crew time to job cost

Hours entered by job on a phone, then combined with material and equipment costs to show a running total against the bid.

Dashboards and reporting ETL and data pipelines

Inspection and permit tracking

Inspection dates and permit status kept per job, with reminders to book what the next pour needs.

Notion and Airtable systems

Bid follow-up

Bids sent to general contractors tracked until awarded, lost or withdrawn, with a polite follow-up on a schedule.

CRM setup and lead pipelines

Concrete software we work with: Procore, STACK, PlanSwift, Bluebeam, Buildertrend, JobTread, Sage 300 CRE.

And the general tools around it: QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Airtable, Twilio, Zapier, Make, Google Calendar.

Example projects

Illustrations of the shape of the work, not past clients. Yours gets its own written scope.

Example project

Takeoff to bid sheet

Example: a flatwork contractor types in the square footage, thickness and finish for each area and gets a bid sheet with yards, forming and labor already priced.

Excel or Google Sheets, Apps Script

Example project

Tickets matched to the job

Example: a foundation crew photographs each delivery ticket, and the yards and mix are read into the job's cost sheet so the supplier statement can be checked.

Phone photos, PDF extraction, Sheets

Example project

Weather reschedule message

Example: when the pour is moved for rain, the crew, the plant dispatcher and the general contractor each get a text with the new date.

Google Calendar, Twilio, Apps Script

Questions people ask first

Do we have to change the software we use?

No. We work with your estimating, accounting and project tools, and fill in the gaps between them.

Who owns what you build?

You do. It is built in your own accounts, and you get notes on how it works so your team can change it without us.

Can it work from the field?

Yes. Time entry, ticket photos and pour updates are all designed for a phone on a site.

How do we start?

Tell us which tools you use and the one task that wastes the most time each week. We reply with questions or a written scope.
