Bookkeeping for concreters

What the books involve

• Premix deliveries: each concrete docket matched to the batching plant's invoice and to the pour it was for, including short load and waiting time charges, before the monthly statement is paid.
• Pump and plant hire: concrete pump, skid steer and excavator hire charged to the pour or job that used it, so the cost of each slab or driveway shows in the job reports.
• Builder slabs and footings: house slabs, footings and commercial pours invoiced to builders under each contract, with remittances matched and amounts held back recorded until they are paid.
• Driveways, paths and decorative finishes for homeowners: deposits and final invoices recorded against each address, and card or transfer payments matched as they reach the bank.
• Steel and consumables: reinforcing mesh, bar, chairs, formply and curing products entered as supplier bills and coded to the job, so material costs sit beside the price quoted.
• Kerb, gutter and footpath work for civil contractors or councils tracked against purchase order numbers, with each payment matched to the order it settles.
