AI for Concreters

The AI integrates with Bureau of Meteorology forecasts for your service area and monitors conditions that affect concrete work: rain probability, temperature extremes, frost risk, and wind speed. If rain is forecast above your threshold for a scheduled pour day, it proactively contacts the customer to reschedule and coordinates with your concrete supplier and pump operator to shift the booking. For extreme heat days above 35 degrees, it flags the need for hot weather concreting procedures or suggests an early morning start time. This eliminates the frantic morning phone calls when you check the radar at 5am and need to rearrange your entire day.

Yes. When you confirm a pour date, the AI can send booking requests to your preferred pump operators and concrete suppliers with the job details: delivery address, access requirements, cubic metres required, concrete grade and slump, and scheduled pour time. It tracks confirmations from both parties and alerts you if either cannot make the booking so you can arrange alternatives. For multi-load pours, it coordinates staggered delivery times based on your pour rate to avoid trucks queuing on site or concrete going off in the barrel.

The AI captures the key variables that affect concreting pricing: job type (slab, driveway, path, retaining wall, exposed aggregate), approximate area in square metres, site access for trucks and pumps, whether excavation and formwork are included, reinforcement requirements, and any special finishes. For standard jobs within your pricing templates, it generates an indicative quote range instantly. Complex structural work that needs engineering is flagged for your review with all the captured details, so you can price it accurately without a lengthy phone call to gather the basics.

The AI is configured with your service offerings and can discuss common residential grades like N20 and N25 for driveways and slabs, N32 for structural work, and specialty mixes for exposed aggregate. When a caller asks about finishes, it explains the options you offer: plain grey, coloured, exposed aggregate, honed, polished, or stamped concrete, and captures their preference. It does not provide engineering advice but gathers enough detail for you to specify the correct grade and mix design when you review the job.

This is exactly what the AI is built for. Once concrete is in the truck, you cannot stop to answer phones. The AI handles every call during active pours: qualifying new enquiries, providing indicative timeframes, booking site inspections for later in the week, and handling urgent calls from other customers about curing queries or existing job questions. It sends you a summary of all calls at the end of the day or during your break, prioritised by job value and urgency, so nothing falls through the cracks while your phone is in the ute.

The AI tracks which jobs require council permits based on your criteria: structural retaining walls over a certain height, slabs that require engineering certification, or work near boundaries and easements. It reminds customers about permit requirements during the enquiry stage and can schedule follow-up calls to check whether permits have been obtained before confirming a pour date. For jobs requiring structural engineering sign-off, it coordinates between you, the customer, and the engineer to ensure inspections are booked before the pour.
