Concrete estimates are driven by volume (cubic yards) for structural work or square footage for flatwork. A typical 4-inch residential slab costs $6–$12/sq ft installed (including materials, labor, forming, and reinforcement). Ready-mix concrete is a major cost driver — always price with current batch plant rates.

Point your camera at the job site. Suparate scans the scope, flags materials you'd miss, and builds the estimate — so the invoice always matches reality.
Attach the batch plant delivery ticket to the invoice
The delivery ticket documents the concrete volume, psi, water/cement ratio, and delivery time. Attaching it to the invoice is professional, protects you from disputes about yardage, and helps the client with any future structural inspections.
Invoice for curing blankets or curing compound separately
Curing is required in cold weather or high-heat conditions. If you're renting curing blankets or applying curing compound, bill it as a separate line — it's not included in standard finishing labor.
Follow up at 28 days with a completion photo
Concrete reaches full design strength at 28 days. A quick follow-up photo or message ('Your slab has fully cured — here's the final result') is a professional touch that generates referrals.
Concrete work typically requires a significant upfront material deposit (covering ready-mix cost) before the pour date is scheduled. A 50% deposit at contract signing, with the balance due on completion, is standard. The concrete is non-refundable once ordered and placed.
Note the cubic yards of concrete placed, mix design (psi rating), slump, air entrainment, and batch plant ticket numbers. These records are important for project documentation, inspections, and potential warranty claims. Include photos of the completed pour and finish.
Yes. Most batch plants charge a short load fee for orders under their minimum (typically 5–7 yards). Pass this through to the client at cost — it's not a markup, it's a batching fee. Note it on the invoice as 'Concrete short load fee — [amount]' so it's transparent.
Decorative finishes should always be a separate line item from base flatwork. Stamped concrete adds $8–$18/sq ft over standard flat pricing. Acid staining adds $3–$8/sq ft. These require different skills, additional time, and sealers. Invoice them separately and have the client approve the pattern before pouring.
