The situation
Tony runs a concreting business doing driveways, slabs, and foundations. The work was physical — but the quoting was where he lost money.
Every job involved:
- excavation estimates
- concrete volumes
- reinforcement
- labour and equipment
- site access assumptions
One wrong estimate and the job went from profitable to painful.
The pain
- Excavation was hard to estimate
- Concrete volumes were often wrong
- Labour blew out on difficult sites
- Margins disappeared on "straightforward" jobs
"I'd quote a driveway and end up losing money because the site was harder than expected."
The switch to QuoteOS
Tony built a pricing library with:
- excavation rates by difficulty
- concrete per cubic metre
- reinforcement and finishing
- labour and equipment rates
Now he describes the job with site conditions and gets a realistic quote.
The transformation
- **Accurate estimates** from the start
- Site conditions factored in
- Fewer cost blowouts
- Confident pricing
The human outcome
"I'm not guessing anymore. The quote reflects what the job actually costs."
