What slows concrete contractors down today
Customer approves the job verbally, then pushes back on the price when the invoice arrives.
You schedule the pour and order the mix before the deposit comes in — then the customer delays.
Scope changes for extra yardage or rebar have no documented approval and the customer disputes the cost.
Weather delays push jobs around and you lose track of which version of the estimate is current.

Change orders with signatures
Extra yardage, design changes, unexpected rebar — send a change order before you adapt the plan. Customer signs before the truck rolls.
Revisions without re-emailing PDFs
Update the estimate in Riveta and the customer gets a new link automatically. No confusion about which version was approved.
I lost a $12,000 driveway to a dispute over the final yardage. Now every change order gets a signature before we adjust the pour. Zero disputes in six months.
