Can I estimate by square footage AND cubic yards?

Yes. The takeoff tool calculates area, and you set the depth on the assembly to convert to cubic yards automatically. Pricing stays accurate as the slab thickness changes.

Does it handle rebar and mesh as separate line items?

Yes. Rebar (by spacing and gauge) and mesh are their own assemblies with their own waste percentages and labor rates.

Can I quote stamped or decorative work?

Yes. Build a stamped-finish or decorative-polish assembly once and reuse it across jobs. The labor and material composition is yours to define.

Will it integrate with my ready-mix supplier prices?

You can update your concrete unit pricing in your cost catalog whenever your supplier prices change. Every new estimate uses the current rate.

Concrete estimating moves with truck schedules and weather

Pricing concrete by the yard misses the actual cost drivers

Forms, rebar, labor crew size, and pour difficulty all swing the price. A flat per-yard rate works on simple jobs and loses you money on hard ones.

Waste percentages get glossed over

5-10% waste on concrete, 3-5% on rebar — these are real costs that disappear when bids get rushed. Over time, eaten margin adds up.

Stamped, polished, and decorative scopes need their own line items

A driveway with broom finish prices very differently from a stamped patio. Same square footage, different scope, different price.
