Sunshine Coast 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. The greenfield corridors are your bread and butter, driveways, paths, patios and shed slabs going in across Aura at Caloundra South and Harmony at Palmview as the new homes land. On hinterland acreage around Buderim and Maleny it's long driveways and bigger pours on tight access. Pool surrounds and patios come with the coastal lifestyle and the retiree money that wants it done properly. Storm season from November to March is the headache, you can't pour into a wet window, so every rain day means juggling the reschedule and the concrete supplier's booking at the same time.
Your stack and job volume. You sit with the builders, not the sparkies. A concreter runs a handful of chunky jobs, resi driveways and slabs often landing in the $8k to $25k-plus range, where the admin load is the weight of each job rather than the count. ServiceM8 or Tradify for small crews, simPRO or a dedicated estimator like Buildxact at the commercial end, and plenty still on a notebook and Xero. Leads come off Google, builder and landscaper referrals, and shared platforms like hipages where the same driveway gets sold to three or four of you, so whoever quotes fastest tends to win it.
What we would set up first. Missed-call answer that books the measure-up goes in first. For a concreter one missed call is a driveway or slab worth five figures walking to whoever rang back, not a $150 callout, so the whole game is protecting each high-value lead rather than chasing volume. Because the dollars are large and your cashflow swings on just a few jobs, deposit and progress-payment chasing carries far more weight here than on any quick-callout trade. The concreter-specific win is weather-reschedule texting, so after a wet run you shuffle a week of pours around the forecast and the supplier's booking without ringing every client by hand.
Most of the mob doing this are remote agencies wiring up generic tools from interstate. We're Brisbane-based, your data stays onshore and stays yours, and the system learns how your business actually runs. We work with concreters and trades right across the Sunshine Coast.
He helped me reprocess more than 1,000 invoices with AI to pull the data for our expense and profit report. Before, I was overwhelmed, and it would have taken me forever. He can always find a way to lighten the work and the mental load.
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.
Some construction trades qualify for a $5,000 QLD government grant for business software and training. Check if you qualify in a few taps, it's a few questions, no obligation.
The first workflow is live in about 14 days. Your data stays onshore and it's yours, it walks out the door with you if you ever leave, and nothing goes out in your name without your say-so.
