Time tracking for concrete finishers
Track visits throughout your day
Your work can include screeding the mud, running the bull float, edging the perimeter. You might visit residential driveways, commercial foundations, sidewalk pours in one day. Use your timeline to review each recorded visit before billing.
Common time-tracking challenges
- Difficulty distinguishing billable time spent on prep work versus active pouring
- Missing mileage on long-distance hauls to remote foundation sites
- Losing track of total hours when jumping between multiple small pours in a single day
How TradesTimer handles it
- Auto-detects stops to separate prep time from active pouring
- Automatically logs every mile driven between job sites for tax time
- Provides rounded billable hours without needing to touch a timer mid-pour
The founder’s experience with concrete finisher work
I've done concrete the hard way — foundations and footings, forming, pouring, stripping. Concrete time is odd-shaped: a 6 a.m. start waiting on the truck, a two-hour pour that runs long because the pump was late, a strip-and-clean visit two days later that somehow never makes the invoice.
Those short return visits are the money leak. The pour day is memorable; the 90 minutes of stripping forms on Thursday isn't. Track your days on paper and it's exactly the Thursday visits that vanish.
With the day reconstructed from GPS, the strip day shows up whether you remember it or not. That's the difference between what you did and what you billed being the same number.
