Ipswich concreters: the driveway and slab enquiries you miss on a pour, the quotes that eat your nights, the invoices you chase for weeks. We build you an AI back-office, trained on your business and run for you, so you get your nights back. Live in about 14 days.
It learns how you actually run, then handles the jobs that slip: the calls, the quotes, the invoices, the follow-ups.
Mid-pour with the machine running and the phone rings out. It answers, takes the details, books the site look, and texts you, so that job does not go to the next concreter.
Send it the site photos and rough measurements or a voice note, and a quote comes back drafted with scope and pricing. You check it and send.
Invoice drafts itself off the quote and chases the unpaid ones on its own. The cash that sits for weeks starts landing.
Ask what you charged for a similar slab last year and it tells you in seconds, so the next quote starts from a number that already won.
Local and seasonal. Ipswich keeps concreters busy at both the new and the rural edge. The house-and-land estates in Ripley Valley and Redbank Plains are a steady run of driveways, paths, patios and shed slabs as blocks get built out. A standard driveway crossover here generally doesn't need separate council approval if it meets Ipswich City Council's standard drawing, it's the non-standard driveways, second crossings, major-road frontages and any work in the road reserve that need a permit, so that's the bit to flag in the quote. Out on the acreage west of town the work shifts to bigger shed and machinery slabs, and storm season from November to March is the headache, a wet window can't take a pour, so you're constantly juggling reschedules around the forecast and the concrete supplier's booking.
Your stack and job volume. Concreters sit with builders, not sparkies, a handful of chunky jobs rather than dozens of small call-outs. A residential driveway or slab commonly lands in the thousands to tens of thousands, so the admin is the weight of each job: a site measure-up, a detailed written quote, a deposit, and scheduling around weather and supplier. Small crews run ServiceM8 or Tradify, the commercial end reaches for simPRO or AroFlo, and plenty still work off a phone, a notebook and Xero.
What we would set up first. First build is missed-call answer and booking the measure-up, because one missed call here is a five-figure job walking to the next bloke, not a small call-out, so every lead has to be caught. The concreter-specific win is weather-reschedule texting that shifts clients out of a wet pour window automatically, instead of you ringing round by hand every time the forecast turns. Deposit and progress-payment chasing matters too, since the dollar amounts are large and cashflow swings on only a few jobs. G'dai Mate runs all of it from $497 a month, first build live in about 14 days.

We find where the hours are leaking in your business and whether it's a fit. If it isn't, we'll say so straight.
Yes. When you can't pick up, it answers, takes the details, books the job, and texts you the lead. That missed call doesn't ring the next concreters instead.
Talk the job into your phone or send a few photos, and a quote comes back drafted with the scope and pricing. You check it and hit send from the ute.
