Sound Familiar?

Every concreter deals with these headaches. BuildLedger fixes them.

Invoices After the Pour

Ready-mix invoices from Hanson and Boral arrive days or even weeks after the pour. By then you've forgotten the extras - short loads, overtime charges, and additives that weren't in the original quote.

Pump Hire & Additives

Concrete pump hire, boom pump charges, plasticiser, accelerator - these costs add up fast and often get forgotten when you're pricing the next job or billing the current one.

Multiple Pours, One Job

A single job might need footings, a slab, and a driveway - three separate pours with three separate invoices. Tracking what went where across the same project gets messy fast.

How BuildLedger Works for Concreters

Step 1

Ready-Mix Invoices Captured Automatically

Hanson, Boral Concrete, Hymix - their invoices arrive in your email and BuildLedger grabs them automatically. No more chasing dockets or waiting for end-of-month statements to reconcile.

  • Email inbox monitoring - invoices captured as they arrive
  • AI extracts cubic metres, mix grade, pump charges, GST, and total
  • Learns your batching plant accounts - auto-categorises to the right job

Slab Foundation Berwick - Cost Breakdown
Ready-mix (28m³ 25MPa) $6,440 / $6,500
Pump hire (boom pump) $1,200 / $1,200
Additives (plasticiser, fibremesh) $480 / $350
Reo & mesh $1,850 / $2,400
Step 2

Track Costs Per Pour in Real Time

Every ready-mix delivery, pump hire, and additive cost is categorised to the right pour. You can see exactly where the money is going on each job, as it happens.

  • Budget vs actual per pour - spot overruns before the next truck arrives
  • Track wastage and short loads so you know your true cost per cubic metre
  • GST handled automatically - BAS time sorted
Step 3

Bill Clients with Full Evidence

Create client invoices with the original ready-mix dockets and pump hire receipts attached. When a client questions the cost of their driveway, you've got the batch plant invoices to back it up.

  • Evidence bundles link concrete supplier dockets to client charges
  • Show cubic metres, mix grade, and pump costs transparently
  • Clients pay faster when they trust the numbers

Common Questions from Concreters

BuildLedger monitors your email continuously. When a ready-mix invoice from Hanson, Boral, or Hymix arrives - whether it's the day of the pour or three weeks later - it's automatically captured, parsed, and matched to the right job. You'll get a notification so you can review and approve it straight away.
