Exposed agg, plain, coloured or polished. WorkArc builds the quoting, follow-up and margin system for your concreting business, inside Fergus and Xero.
They show up in almost every concreting business we talk to, usually after hours and usually at the owner's desk.
Area times depth, mix, reinforcing, pump and finish. Every quote is a sum that eats time and invites mistakes.
Rain forecast means shifting pours, moving crews and telling clients. One wet week knocks on across every job.
Concrete work is competitive. A couple of points of margin decides the job, so costs need watching while the job runs.
The site looks simple until you dig. Rock, clay and drainage change the scope after the price is agreed.
We build these around your price book and your workflow, then keep improving them every month. The examples are illustrative.
Driveways, slabs and paths priced from your supplier rates with access, pump and finish included, so the quote goes out fast and complete.
On a job · illustrativeA client wants a 60sqm exposed agg driveway. ArcQuote prices excavation, concrete volume, pump, mesh and finishing from your rates in one quote.
Scheduled, on hold, curing and complete, with cost against quote on each. Weather knock-ons are visible across all jobs at once.
On a job · illustrativeRain holds Wednesday's pour. ArcPulse shows the two jobs pushed behind it and the crew days now free later in the week.

On a job · illustrativeThe report shows small plain paths losing money once travel is counted, so the minimum job charge goes up.
Two illustrative examples: a quote built from a concreter's notes, and the kind of question ArcAssist answers from your own job history.

What did we quote the Pattersons for their driveway?
$21,000 ex GST for a 60sqm exposed agg driveway at 120mm, excavation included. Rock was excluded and priced at an hourly rate if found.
