NexusCRM · Concrete Contractors
NexusCRM is concrete contractor software for driveways, patios, walkways, pads, and steps. Quote by the square foot with broom, exposed-aggregate, and stamped options side by side. Book prep, pour, and seal days as separate visits that move cleanly when the forecast turns. Every ready-mix, pump, and short-load charge lands on a live job P&L. An optional AI Caller answers the phone while your crew is finishing.

BUILT ON A JOB SITE: NexusCRM came out of a real GTA contracting business. Multi-visit scheduling and per-job expense tracking are in the product because real jobs got rained out, and real supplier bills had to land somewhere.
Sound familiar?
It goes to pours that move three times, truck charges nobody put on the quote, and crack callbacks with no signed terms to point to. Concrete gives you one shot on pour day, and the admin around it is where money leaks.
Thursday's forecast turns overnight. Now the ready-mix order, the pump, three finishers, and the homeowner all have to move. You rebook from the truck at 6 a.m., and the calendar on the crew's phones still says Thursday. Two guys show up to the wrong driveway.
The walkway turned into a small top-up load with a short-load fee. The backyard patio needed a pump nobody priced. The dig-out went deeper, so the base took more stone. Each charge is small, and together they eat the margin on a job you thought was solid.
Four months after the pour, the homeowner phones about a hairline crack and calls it a defect. Your crack terms were a verbal "concrete cracks, that's why we cut joints." There are no signed terms, no photos of the joints, and no record of the care instructions you sent.
How NexusCRM fixes it
It tracks what a concrete job actually runs on: square footage, finish choices, prep/pour/seal visits that depend on weather, and supplier and pump charges that pile up by the load. That holds for a 120-square-foot shed pad or a stamped pool deck.
AI in the field
Pace out the old patio, talk through the square footage, the break-out, the base, the finish, and the sealer. The draft quote is priced before you've rolled up the tape. It's built from your own past concrete quotes, not a national cost guide.
Every AI draft waits for your review before a customer sees it.
AI Caller · add-on
Nobody puts down a bull float to answer a phone. The AI Caller runs on NLPearl voice agents wired into NexusCRM through n8n. It takes the new-driveway calls, rings web leads back within minutes, and chases the quotes that went quiet.
NexusAI add-on from $297/mo CAD, on any NexusCRM tier. It captures preferred site-visit times, and your rep confirms the booking in NexusCRM.
How the AI Caller WorksEnquiry to sealed slab
One system carries the job from the web form to the last coat of sealer, and the pour day can move without anything falling through.
A driveway request comes in from your website. The AI Caller phones the homeowner within minutes, collects square footage, finish, and timeline, and the lead appears in NexusCRM with the call summary attached.
A two-minute recording on site becomes a priced square-foot draft, with broom, exposed aggregate, and stamped as options. The Bid Advisor compares the margin with similar slabs you've already poured.
The homeowner accepts on their phone. The signed snapshot is locked, and the deposit invoice, the project, and the schedule entry are created automatically. No retyping.
Once Ontario One Call locates are back, prep, pour, and seal are booked as separate visits synced to Google Calendar. If rain moves the pour, you re-time that visit, the same event updates, and the customer gets the rescheduled email.
Photographed ready-mix invoices, the pump bill, the short-load fee, and logged crew hours hit the live job P&L the day they happen. An overrun shows up while you can still act on it.
After photos go to the customer portal, your crack and care terms are already on the signed quote, and paid-in-full sends the receipt automatically. You close the job knowing what it made.
The math
Once per-user and per-technician fees are counted, contractor software runs from roughly $200 to over $1,500 a month. NexusCRM is one flat CAD price with unlimited users, so a summer labourer or an extra finisher adds nothing to the bill.

| NexusCRM Pro | $425 flat CAD | None — unlimited users | $5,500 one-time (financing available) |
| Jobber (Grow) | $199–$499 + extra users | +$29/user | — |
| Housecall Pro (MAX) | $329 + extra users | +$35/user | — |
| Buildertrend | $666–$833 typical | Plan-gated | Varies |
| ServiceTitan | $1,470–$3,000 ($245–$500 per technician) | Per-tech pricing | $5k–$15k, quote-only |

Recommended tier
Pro, at $425/month flat plus $5,500 implementation, fits most concrete companies. Pour-day margin depends on Pro features: voice-to-quote, receipt capture for ready-mix and pump bills, live job P&L, and crew payroll. Finishing slabs yourself with one helper? Core at $295 plus $2,950 runs the full quote-to-invoice pipeline. Past 20 people across several crews? Elite at $795 plus $9,800 adds custom development hours.

Yes. A NexusCRM quote can carry Good, Better and Best options, so the same 600-square-foot driveway can be priced as broom finish, exposed aggregate and stamped, with break-out and removal, base prep, forming and sealing as separate lines. The homeowner opens the quote on their phone, ticks the finish they want with a live running total, and signs with a typed signature; the accepted snapshot is locked with IP address and timestamp, and the invoice bills exactly the option they chose.
You re-time the pour-day visit in place. NexusCRM patches the same Google Calendar event instead of creating a duplicate, the change is pushed within about a minute, and the customer gets the automatic rescheduled email. Prep, pour and seal can be booked as separate visits on one job, so moving the pour does not disturb the rest of the schedule, and the day-before 6 PM reminder goes to the crew for whichever day the pour lands on. If a job is waiting on weather, you can put it On Hold with a required reason so the whole office sees why.
Log them as job expenses the day they happen. Photograph the ready-mix invoice, the pump truck bill or the short-load charge and AI receipt capture reads the vendor, date and line items into expenses attached to the photo. Crew labour is calculated from logged hours at the pay rate locked when the crew was assigned, so the live job P&L shows revenue, labour, materials and recoverable HST together, and the at-risk watchlist flags low-margin jobs while they are still open rather than at year end.
It gives you the paper trail. Write your warranty terms, including how you handle hairline and shrinkage cracks, into NexusCRM's warranty library once, and they are snapshot-copied onto every quote, so the terms the customer signed never change after the fact. Job photos can be tagged Before, In Progress and After, and every email the system sent the customer, from scheduling to completion, is recorded on the project with its delivery status.
Yes. The AI Caller is a NexusAI add-on from $297/month that runs on NLPearl voice agents and is wired into NexusCRM through n8n. It answers your business line 24/7, asks what your estimator needs — the address, rough square footage, what surface is there now, the finish they want and when they want it done — and transfers the call live when a customer asks for a person, such as someone checking on tomorrow's pour. After the call, the lead appears in NexusCRM with a summary and transcript, source-tagged AI Caller. It also calls new web and Meta leads within minutes and follows up on quotes that have not been accepted. It introduces itself as an AI assistant, and it only makes outbound calls to people who contacted you.
