TradesConcretersBusiness apps
Concreter Business AppsYour crew sees the pour, your customers see the progress, and nobody needs to ring you before first light.
Concreter business apps are the simple screens your crew and customers use instead of ringing you: the pour time, the site address, the set out photos, the steel inspection and when the driveway can take a car. This page is for concreting business owners who want to build their own business apps on their own data, without renting another platform built for somebody else.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Concreting Business?
The night before every pour runs on phone calls
Most concreting business owners spend the evening before a pour ringing the crew, the pump operator and the batch plant to confirm times, then texting the site address and the gate code. A single missed message and a labourer turns up at the wrong job while the truck waits.
Customers keep asking when they can drive on it
Homeowners have no simple way to see where the job is at, so they ring the owner to ask when the boxing comes off, whether rain will move the pour, and how long before the car can go on the new driveway. Every call lands while the owner is on the tools.
Pour records live on paper and in camera rolls
Set out measurements, steel inspection sign offs, delivery dockets and photos of the cover before the pour end up on clipboards, in the truck and across the crew's phones. When a builder raises a crack months later, the crew spends hours hunting for proof that the job was done right.
Every pour that runs on phone calls and loose paper costs the owner evenings, wasted truck time and, when a crack is disputed, the proof that would have settled it.
Data First Coaching
Concreter Business Apps, Built on Your Own Data.
Data First Coaching starts from your own job and finance data. On that data you build the systems, software and business apps your concreting business actually needs, shaped around how your jobs run and how your customers buy, and AI agents take the office work. Greg Allan works it through with you.
How most coaching works
Most coaching for concreters starts with the owner explaining the business.
- The first hours go on the owner describing the concreting business to a coach: the jobs, the crew, the customers, the money.
- The picture is out of date within weeks, because the numbers move every week.
- So the advice treats what the owner happened to notice, which is usually a symptom.
- Too often it comes from someone who has never run a concreting business, or any trade business at all.
- The owner pays for the explaining, then pays again when the advice does not fit.
Data First Coaching
Data first starts from your concreting business's numbers, not your memory.
- The Trade Business Intelligence Agent reads your job management and finance systems first.
- It sees your quotes, jobs, time on site and money as they are this week, the way concreters actually make and lose it.
- It finds where the problem actually starts, not where it shows up.
- You put in the system that fixes it at the root, and the data shows whether it worked.
Which of these is the root cause in your concreting business?
- The night before every pour runs on phone calls
- Customers keep asking when they can drive on it
- Pour records live on paper and in camera rolls
Usually one of them is causing the others. Data first means your own numbers answer that before anybody guesses, so the fix goes where the problem starts.
| Rented software | Built on your own data | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Every trade at once | How your jobs actually run |
| Your data | Lives in somebody else's system | Yours, and it answers your questions |
| The cost | A subscription per seat, every month | What you build, kept as long as it earns its place |
| When it does not fit | Work around it, or wait for an update | Change it, because you built it |
| The office work | Still lands on you or an office wage | AI agents do it your way, people stay on customers |
| Where you start | A sales demo | Your own numbers, read by the Trade Business Intelligence Agent |
Fix the root cause, once
The data names the real problem, so the system you put in fixes it once instead of patching the same symptom every month.
Own your software
Build your own tools on your own data, shaped around how your jobs run and how your customers buy. Cancel the subscriptions and agencies that were never built for your business.
A more human business
Agents do the non-billable work: the quoting, invoicing, chasing and reporting. Your people spend the day on customers and the crew, so relationships get better and the team performs.
Business apps, built by you
Here Is What We Do About It.
It starts with Greg Allan's Data First Coaching: the Trade Business Intelligence Agent reads your job and finance data, so the apps you build answer the questions your crew and customers actually ring about. With Greg and the group you build your own business apps on that data, a pour schedule for the crew and a progress page for customers. Start on the free Tradies App while you wait for a place.
The Tradies App
Free for trade business owners. No card, no trial clock.

How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Start in the free Tradies App
Lessons, the members community and the tools, free for trade business owners. No card, no trial clock.
Build the screens your people need
Today's jobs for the crew, a quote to approve for the customer, the numbers for you, all on your own data and built around how your jobs run.
Put an agent behind each one
An agent fills the gaps a screen cannot: chasing the missing photo, sending the reminder, updating the job, so the app keeps itself current.
Why Greg
You speak to the owner who has already done it.
Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.
He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.
Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.
What changes for you
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.
You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.
The old way
More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.
Most trade businesses grow the same way.
More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.
None of it gets paid for.
So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.
Or hires an office person to do it.
The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.
And the owner is still the one everything waits on.
Where we take you
More work. More profit. More of you left.
The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.
You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.
Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.
The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.
The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.
The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.
Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.
What changes
What Concreting Business Apps Actually Changes.
Three things concreting business owners walk away able to do.
Give the crew pour times, addresses and set out on their phones
Let customers see pour day, curing time and handover without ringing you
Keep steel, cover and docket photos against every job, ready for disputes
