Why PourPad? Because the bid should be done before you leave the driveway.
PourPad is concrete estimating software built by and for paving contractors. It replaces the grid notebook, the truck-dash math, and the late-night spreadsheet with one tool that sketches the pour, prices the job, and emails a branded bid — while you're still on site.
The problem with how concrete gets bid today
Most residential concrete contractors still bid work the same way: walk the site, jot measurements in a notebook, promise to "send numbers tonight," then spend the evening reconstructing the job from memory. Every hour between the site visit and the bid is an hour the customer spends calling your competitor. Irregular pours — L-shaped driveways, curved walkways, duplex approaches — make the math worse, and one botched square-footage figure can erase the profit on the whole job.
PourPad closes that gap. Measure it, sketch it, price it, send it — all before you put the truck in drive.
What PourPad does for a concrete contractor
Sketch the pour on a grid
Draw the driveway, foundation, sidewalk or patio right on a scaled grid from the tailgate. Rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, circles, radius corners, free-form polygons with draggable points, and a ready-made duplex layout — every shape calculates its own square footage automatically.
Live totals while you measure
As measurements go in, PourPad figures concrete yardage, material cost, labor and extras in real time. You see your cost and the customer price side by side, so you never leave money on the table or bid a loser job.
Your formulas, not ours
Every rate is editable in Settings — concrete per yard, labor per square foot, grading, sod, trees, pavers, turf, reinforcement, and your markup. Show the markup as a line item, or fold it invisibly into labor so customers see one clean price.
Branded PDF estimates
Print or download a professional estimate with your company logo, a cropped 'Proposed Pour' drawing, itemized totals, a timestamp, and a bid-validity window you control. It looks like it came from a big outfit — because now it did.
Field verification emails
One tap initiates field verification: the bid lands in the customer's inbox and yours, with appointment details. Homeowners using the free estimator can request a visit, and the lead drops straight into your pipeline.
Built-in urgency
Estimates carry a validity window you set — 48 hours, 7 days, whatever you like. Stale bids auto-archive and auto-delete on your schedule, keeping your pipeline honest and nudging customers to commit.
Two sides of the same tool
Contractors get the full backend: estimates, contracts, invoices, and accounts receivable. Builders, developers and homeowners get a free public estimator that captures their email and books a verification visit — a lead machine that works while you pour.
Your data, your brand
White-label every customer-facing document with your own logo. Your rates, your markup, and your numbers stay private behind your account — customers only ever see the price you want them to see.
From sketch to signed contract in one pipeline
An estimate in PourPad isn't a dead document — it's the first stage of a job. When the customer says yes, convert the estimate to a contract, then to an invoice, then track it in accounts receivable until it's paid. Field verification requests from the free public estimator arrive as new leads with the customer's sketch, measurements, and address already attached.
Whether you pour driveways, foundations, sidewalks, patios, or duplex approaches, PourPad prices the work the way you already think about it: shapes on the ground, yards of concrete, hours of labor, and the extras — grading, sod, trees, pavers, and turf — that turn a slab into a finished job.

Every plan starts with a 15-day free trial. Sketch your first pour, send your first branded estimate, and see what it feels like to bid before you leave the driveway.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of concrete jobs can I estimate with PourPad?
Driveways, foundations, sidewalks and walkways, patios, slabs, and duplex layouts. The shape builder handles rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, circles, radius corners, free-form polygons with draggable points, and a pre-built duplex preset, so irregular pours price as accurately as simple ones.
Can I use my own pricing formulas and rates?
Yes. Every rate — concrete per yard, labor per square foot, grading, sod, trees, pavers, turf, reinforcement, and markup — is editable in Settings. PourPad calculates with your numbers, not generic defaults.
Can customers see my cost and markup?
No. Customers only see the final customer price on the estimate PDF. With the markup display setting, you can even fold markup into your labor rates so only one clean price appears.
Does PourPad work on a phone in the field?
Yes. PourPad is mobile-friendly by design — it's built to be used at the kitchen table or the tailgate, on whatever device is in your pocket.
What is field verification?
When a homeowner, builder, or developer uses the free public estimator, they can request a field verification — an appointment for you to visit the site and confirm the numbers. The request arrives in your pipeline with their sketch and measurements, and both sides get an email with the details.
