Concrete contractor software that protects your margin on every pour
Concrete margins disappear in waste, pump fees and extra prep. YardPilot builds every flatwork estimate from your per-square-foot labor, materials with waste, and fixed costs — then shows the price that hits your margin.
Common problems in concrete businesses
- Material waste and pump fees eating profit
- Demo and haul-off left off the quote
- Customers adding square footage mid-job
- Deposits tracked in a notebook
How YardPilot helps
Flatwork estimating per square foot
Driveway, patio, sidewalk and demolition services come preconfigured. Add labor minutes, concrete and rebar cost, waste allowance and fixed pump/disposal costs per service.
Field measurements, verified
Record flatwork area, thickness and demo area on site and mark each one verified. One tap fills line quantities. Missing or unverified measurements are flagged.
Deposit invoices and change orders
Invoice a deposit on approval; extend the slab with a customer-approved change order; the final invoice credits the deposit so nothing is billed twice.
Crew checklists and photos
Forms set, reinforcement placed, pour and finish, control joints cut — with before-and-after photos stored privately per job.
Example: 400 sq ft patio
- Labor
- 3 min/sq ft at your burdened rate
- Concrete + rebar
- $4.00/sq ft + 10% waste
- Pump & disposal
- $350 fixed
- Target margin
- 40%
YardPilot computes total cost, then price = cost ÷ (1 − 40%), and warns if your catalog price falls short.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between markup and margin for concrete jobs?
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of cost. A job costing $500 needs a selling price of $833.33 for a 40% margin — that's a 66.7% markup, not 40%.
Can YardPilot measure a driveway from photos or satellite?
No. Photos are never treated as verified dimensions, and there is no aerial measurement integration yet. You enter field-verified measurements.
How much does YardPilot cost for a concrete business?
Plans are $59/month (Starter), $129/month (Growth), $249/month (Professional) and $449/month (Business), with yearly billing available (two months free), and crew logins are included in every plan. Every plan includes estimates, scheduling, invoicing and the customer portal; plans differ by team size, monthly AI usage and advanced proposal features.
Can my crew see my costs and margins?
No. Cost profiles, service costs and profitability are visible only to owners and managers. Technicians see their assigned jobs, checklists and photos — never prices, costs or other customers.
Is my data separate from other businesses?
Yes. Every record is tied to your business and access is enforced in the database, not just the app screens. YardPilot runs automated tests that try to read and change another business's data and confirm every attempt is blocked.
