When to use this template

Assign and adjust execution details online, then generate a field-ready work order PDF. Use this after the contract is signed and before pour day, so your crew and the concrete supplier are aligned on schedule, mix, volume, and site logistics.

What to include

  • Pour date and time, concrete supplier name and dispatch number, ordered yardage with 10% overage, PSI mix, slump, and any admixtures (fiber, accelerator, color), with delivery truck spacing (every 15-20 minutes).
  • Site prep confirmation: excavation complete, base compacted and graded, forms set and staked, rebar/mesh placed and inspected, vapor barrier down if required, and utility locates cleared.
  • Crew assignments: who runs the chute/pump, who spreads and vibrates, who screeds, who floats and trowels, who cuts control joints, and who handles the finish (broom, stamp, exposed aggregate).
  • Access and logistics: truck route to pour site, pump placement location, water source for washout, washout containment plan, and where to stage tools and materials.
  • Post-pour checklist: control joints cut within 12-24 hours, curing compound or wet cure method applied, forms stripped timeline, area barricaded from traffic, and customer notified of cure time (typically 7 days to walk, 28 days for vehicles).

Common questions

Can I edit this Concrete Work Order online before dispatch?
Yes. Update crew assignments, site notes, materials, and task sequencing directly in-browser.
Can I save this Concrete Work Order and duplicate it for recurring job types?
Yes. With an account, save it as an operational template and reuse it for similar service calls or installs.
Can I export this Concrete Work Order as a crew-ready PDF?
Yes. Generate a PDF your team can open on-site or print for job folders.
What if the concrete truck is late?
Have the supplier's dispatch number on the work order. Call dispatch early if a truck is delayed. On large pours, a 30-minute gap between loads can create a cold joint.
Should the work order include a rain plan?
Yes. Note the weather forecast, your go/no-go temperature and precipitation thresholds, and who makes the call to postpone. Late cancellations of concrete orders incur fees.
How do I handle extra concrete left in the truck?
Plan for it. Have a small side project ready (stepping stones, pad for trash cans) or a washout area. Never send excess concrete down a storm drain.
Should the work order specify control joint spacing and timing?
Yes. Note the joint spacing per the engineer's plan or industry standard (typically slab thickness in inches times 2-3 as feet), and require cuts within 6-18 hours after finishing to prevent random cracking.
How do I keep track of multiple jobs at once?
Assign each job its own numbered work order with a clear scope, crew assignment, and due date. This keeps your team organized and prevents tasks from falling through the cracks.
What if the customer asks for extra work on site?
Document any scope changes on the work order before starting the extra work. Get the customer to acknowledge the additional cost so you avoid doing free work.
Do I really need a work order for small jobs?
Yes. Even small jobs can lead to disputes about what was agreed. A quick work order takes two minutes and protects you from a customer claiming the work was different from what they asked for.
