Pour schedule board
Every pour by week and by site: slabs, walls, columns and stairs, with crew, concrete, pump and inspection status at a glance.
Formwork software: pour schedules, crews & concrete orders
Formworkers: line up the crew, the forms and the pour. One view of every pour.
Pour dates live in a diary, crews get moved by text at 9pm and the concrete and pump get booked in two separate phone calls. We build scheduling, crew, stock and claims systems for formwork businesses that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for formwork scheduling software that actually keeps up with the pour?
Formwork runs on pour dates. Everything else hangs off them: the crew that sets up, the reo inspection, the concrete order, the pump, the strip date and the back-props. When a builder moves a slab two days or the forecast turns, somebody has to ring the plant, the pump operator, the engineer and four crew leads. Usually that's the boss, at night, from the ute.
Wollopit builds custom formwork software around how your business actually runs. Move a pour once and the crews, concrete order, pump booking and inspection move with it. Gear is tracked by site, hours land on the right job and claims build themselves from completed stages. We connect the tools you already use like Xero or Procore, replace the spreadsheets holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from formworkers
Does your formwork business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most formwork businesses we talk to are flat out pouring and run the office side on a whiteboard, a group chat and the owner's memory. It holds up fine until three pours shift in one week.
- The problemPour dates in a diaryThe builder moves a slab to Friday and half the people who need to know find out on Thursday.How we fix itA shared pour schedule. Change a date once and everyone linked to that pour gets notified automatically.
- The problemCrews moved by text at nightCrew leads get a string of texts, miss one and turn up at the wrong site at 6am.How we fix itDaily crew allocation pushed to phones with the site address, start time, gear list and a map pin.
- The problemConcrete and pump booked separatelyThe concrete is rebooked but the pump isn't. Or the pump turns up and the trucks don't.How we fix itConcrete and pump orders hang off the pour. Move the pour and both orders update and go back to the plant and the pump operator.
- The problemWeather calls at 5amRain's forecast, nobody's sure if it's on and everyone's waiting on the boss to ring around.How we fix itForecasts shown against every pour and a one-tap postpone that tells the crew, plant, pump and builder in one go.
- The problemChasing pre-pour sign-offsThe engineer's reo inspection is booked by phone, the photos are in someone's camera roll and the sign-off is an email nobody can find.How we fix itPre-pour checklists with photos, engineer inspection bookings and sign-offs attached to the pour. No sign-off, no confirmed pour.
- The problemStrip and back-prop dates guessedStrip times get worked out in someone's head and props come out early or sit on site for weeks longer than they need to.How we fix itStrip and back-prop dates calculated from the pour date and the engineer's spec, sitting right on the schedule.
- The problemFormwork gear goes walkaboutProps, beams, ply and edge forms spread across six sites and nobody knows what's where until the next job is short.How we fix itStock tracked by site with transfers logged from a phone. You see what's on each job and what's free for the next one.
- The problemHire gear left on siteHired props and shoring sit on a finished job for a month, quietly running up the hire bill.How we fix itHire items tracked against each job with off-hire reminders the day they're no longer needed.
- The problemTimesheets on scraps of paperHours come in late, get guessed on Friday and never land on the right job.How we fix itClock on and off by site on a phone. Hours go to the job, the pour and payroll without retyping.
- The problemVariations agreed on the slabExtra set-downs and late design changes get a nod from the site super, then never get billed.How we fix itLog a variation on site with photos and notes, send it to the builder for approval and it flows into the next claim.
- The problemClaims late and payment schedules missedProgress claims get built from memory at month end and deadlines under security of payment rules slip past.How we fix itClaims generated from completed stages, with claim dates, payment schedule deadlines and retentions tracked for every builder.
- The problemNo idea what a job madeLabour, hire, ply and pump costs aren't tracked per job until the accountant asks months later.How we fix itLive job costing per job and per pour against the quote, so you know which work is worth chasing.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole formwork business, on one system.
These are the systems formwork businesses ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Pour scheduling
Move a pour once. Everything else follows.
The pour schedule becomes the single source of truth for the business. Shift a slab and the crews, concrete order, pump booking and engineer inspection all move with it. Everyone gets told without you picking up the phone.
- Week and site views of every pour
- Concrete orders built from each pour
- Pump bookings linked to the pour
- Engineer inspections on the schedule
- Weather forecasts against every pour
- One-tap postpone with notifications
- SMS and email to plant and pump
- Strip and back-prop dates shown
- Builder view of their pour dates
- Pour history per job
Crews & timesheets
Every crew knows where they're going tonight, not at 6am.
Allocate crews to jobs on a board and the plan lands on their phones with the address, start time and gear list. Hours come back from the site clock-on and land on the right job and in payroll.
- Drag-and-drop crew allocation
- Daily plan pushed to phones
- Site address with a map pin
- Tickets and inductions checked
- Clock on and off by site
- Hours per job and per pour
- Timesheet approvals for leading hands
- Payroll export without retyping
- Leave and availability
- Labour hire workers included
Pre-pour & quality
No sign-off, no pour.
Pre-pour checklists done on a phone with photos, engineer inspections booked and tracked and sign-offs attached to the pour. When the builder or certifier asks for proof, it's already there.
- Formwork and reo checklists
- Photos tagged to the pour and grid
- Engineer inspection bookings
- Sign-offs stored against the pour
- Pour locked until checks are done
- Defects and rectification notes
- Strip date checks and approvals
- Back-prop records per level
- Shareable records for the builder
- Works with patchy site reception
Stock & hire
Know where every prop and sheet of ply is.
Your own formwork gear tracked by site, with transfers logged on a phone as it moves. Hired gear sits against the job with off-hire reminders, so you stop paying for props nobody's using.
- Stock by site and in the yard
- Transfers logged from a phone
- Gear lists per pour
- Damaged and written-off items
- Ply reuse counts
- Hired items against each job
- On-hire and off-hire dates
- Off-hire reminders
- Hire costs into job costing
- Pickups planned by area
Claims & costing
Claim what you poured. Know what you made.
Claims build themselves from completed stages and approved variations. Every builder's claim dates, payment schedule deadlines and retentions sit on one calendar and job costing shows how each job is tracking against the quote.
- Claims from completed stages
- Approved variations included
- Retentions tracked per job
- Claim and payment schedule deadlines
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Labour, hire and materials per job
- Cost per pour and per square metre
- Live margin against the quote
- Overdue payment reminders
- Reports for the accountant
04How it changes
Before and after
A pour date change, wolloped.
Here's how a builder moving a slab two days could change. Every formwork business is different, so we map yours first.
Before
- Builder rings Tuesday arvo: the slab's now Friday
- Ring the concrete plant and rebook the trucks
- Pump forgotten until Thursday night
- Text every crew lead and hope they read it
- Engineer still turns up Wednesday for the inspection
- Hired props sit on the old job for another week
After
- Drag the pour to Friday on the schedule
- Crews see their new days on their phones
- Updated concrete order goes to the plant
- Pump booking moves with the pour
- Engineer inspection is rebooked and confirmed
- Builder sees the new date in their portal

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your formwork business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time on site, in the yard and in the office, then work out where pours, crews and claims are actually getting tangled.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your pours, crews, gear, builders, claims, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the pour schedule first, so you get a win before the next busy month.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things formworkers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can builders see the pour schedule?
Yes. Builders get their own login to see pour dates, stage progress, inspection sign-offs and claims for their jobs only.
Can it send orders to our concrete supplier and pump operator?
Yes. Concrete and pump orders are built from the pour and sent by email or SMS. When the pour moves, an updated order goes out so nobody's working off the old date.
Will it work on site with bad reception?
Yes. Checklists, photos and clock-ons can be done offline and sync once the phone finds signal again.
Can it help with progress claims and payment schedules?
Yes. Claims are built from completed stages and approved variations, with claim dates, payment schedule deadlines and retentions tracked for every builder.
We use Xero and our builders use Procore. Do we have to switch?
No. We build around what works. Invoices and payroll go into Xero or MYOB and we work alongside builder platforms like Procore and Aconex rather than replacing them.
How much does a formwork system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like a pour schedule or crew app can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most formworkers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
