This is a free concrete estimate template with the whole job already itemized: excavation and site prep, base and subgrade, forming and rebar, the pour itself, finishing and curing, sealing and waterproofing, permits and labor, cleanup, and the overhead nobody enjoys writing down. Load it in the builder, delete what your job doesn't need, and put your rates on what's left. The rates ship blank on purpose: they're yours, and they vary by market.
Most concrete quote templates are four rows and a signature line. An actual pour has a pump day, a short-load charge, and a washout that has to go somewhere. Lines that never make the estimate still happen on the job. They just get paid for out of your side of the number.
Every section below loads into the builder exactly as listed. This is the actual checklist, not a preview of one. Delete what your job doesn’t need and price the rest.
Layout and staking, mass and trench excavation, grading, compaction, dewatering, and erosion control. The part of the job that happens before any concrete exists.
Gravel base supplied and placed, crushed stone, sand leveling, vapor barrier, and underslab insulation. Aggregate by the yard or the ton, depending on how your supplier bills.
Aggregate by loose volume (cu yd) unless supplier bills by weight (ton).
Footing and wall forms set and stripped, rebar supplied and tied, wire mesh, anchor bolts, and dowels. Supply and labor sit on separate lines because they're separate costs.
Ready-mix by the cubic yard, footing, wall, and slab pours, the pump day, and the short-load charge that shows up whether or not you estimated it.
Volume ordered by loose cubic yard delivered.
Screed, float, trowel, and broom finishes, control and expansion joints, edge detailing, curing compound, and wet-cure days. The difference between a slab and a callback.
Sealer, waterproof membrane, damp-proof coating, protection board, perimeter drain tile, and backfill. The lines that keep the foundation dry and the phone quiet.
Building permit, engineering and soils report, inspections, mobilization, crew and finisher day rates, and equipment rental. Crew lines price as headcount times days.
Crew unit: day. Quantity = # crew, multiplier = # days.
Spoils haul-off, concrete washout, the debris dumpster, final grade, and site cleanup. Disposal is a cost whether or not it makes the estimate.
General conditions, a contingency allowance, and insurance and bonding. Carried as a flat line or a percentage, but carried.
Enter allowances flat. Overhead & profit is the percentage modifier, not a line.
Open it in the builder and every standard concrete line is already in place: site staking, forms and rebar, the pump day, the washout, the spoils haul-off. Start by deleting what your job doesn't need. Slabs go fast.
Put in your rates and what each line costs you. The live P&L updates as you type, so you know what the job actually pays before the truck is ordered. Your floor stops being a feeling.
Export a clean client estimate: prices, quantities, one total. Costs, margins, and internal notes never touch the client copy, because the client copy is built from a version that never had them.
The full guide (units, tax math, deposits, exports) lives on the Help page. It’s genuinely thorough. We’re as surprised as you.
For the longer answer, there’s a guide: How to Write a Construction Estimate.
Nine sections that follow the job in order: excavation and site prep, base and subgrade, forming and reinforcement, concrete supply and pour, finishing and curing, sealing and waterproofing, permits and labor, cleanup and disposal, and contingency and allowances. Inside them are the lines that get eaten when they're forgotten: the vapor barrier, the pump day, the short-load charge, the spoils haul-off. Delete what your pour doesn't need and get on with the day.
Line by line. Concrete carries its price in a handful of drivers: yards of mix, linear feet of forms and rebar, square feet of finish, crew days, and whatever the soil turns out to be. Every line in the template prices as rate times quantity times multiplier, whatever the unit label says, and your margin updates as you go. The number at the bottom holds up because every piece of it is a line someone can point to.
The template ships with a contingency and allowances section: general conditions, a contingency allowance, and insurance and bonding, carried as flat allowance lines. If you price overhead as a straight percentage instead, the document-level overhead and profit fee does that on the subtotal. For deposits, the builder has an informational deposit line you can add to the document, so the client sees what's due up front without it changing the total. Concrete doesn't come back out of the truck. Asking for money before it goes in is not a radical position.
Yes. The whole builder works without an account, and the free plan includes every export: client PDF, Excel, CSV, an internal budget export, and a read-only share link that carries a client-safe copy inside the link. A free account adds one cloud-saved estimate. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: your name and logo on client-facing exports, unlimited cloud saves, and a reusable catalog of your standard line items. Nobody is renting you a spreadsheet.
