for paving contractors and landscapers
A tool for paving contractors that works out area, cuts and waste in five minutes
This is not a mockup invented for this page. It is a finished product that firms pay a monthly subscription for, and it runs in seven languages across seven markets.
Paving Planner is a browser tool where a contractor draws the area, gets the material usage including cuts and waste, and generates a quote with a payment QR code. A calculation that used to take an evening on paper now takes about 5 minutes. The tool runs in 7 languages and 7 markets, on a monthly Stripe subscription.
What this job looks like without a tool
The area gets measured at home in the evening
You take the site measurements during the day, then sit over paper in the evening breaking the shape into rectangles. The quote goes out two days later.
Waste is guessed as a percentage
Everyone quotes ten percent for cuts, but that does not hold for a diagonal bond or a curve. Either you order more, or a pallet is left over.
The client cannot see what you calculated
They get a number and have to trust you. A competitor who shows a drawing looks more credible, even when they cost more.
The quote goes out late
Whoever sends the quote on day one tends to stay first in mind. Whoever sends it on day three is only competing on price.
What a tool like this includes
Drawing the area straight in the browser, irregular shapes included. Curves, cut-outs around manholes and different paving bonds. The drawing gives you area, perimeter and the number of units, not an estimate.
A cut and waste calculation based on the real bond and paving size, not a flat percentage. Add the base, kerbs and bedding, so the whole material order lines up at once.
A client quote with the drawing and a payment QR code for the deposit. A seven-language interface, so the same tool handles a job at home and one in Austria.
AI that fills in the rest from a photo of the plot or a hand sketch. Not to look modern, but because the site visit is the most expensive part of the process.
- Area drawing Shape, dimensions, bond and cut-outs around obstacles.
- Material usage Paving, kerbs, base and bedding including cuts and waste.
- Price and margin Your own material and labour prices, not a stranger price list.
- Client quote Drawing, line items and a deposit payment QR code in one document.
Proof, not a promise
Paving Planner is live at pavingplanner.com, has paying customers and a monthly Stripe subscription. Seven languages and seven markets, so the same tool is used by a firm in Slovakia and abroad.
A calculation that used to take an evening now takes five minutes. That is not a marketing number; it is the difference between a quote sent on the day of the site visit and one sent on Friday.
Common questions
Do I have to build it custom, or can I just subscribe?
Paving Planner can be used as it is, on a monthly subscription. Custom work comes in when a firm needs its own prices, its own catalogue or a link to its warehouse.
Can it handle an irregular shape with steps and manholes?
Yes, that is the whole reason it exists. Anyone can add up a rectangle; the trouble starts with a curve and with cut-outs, and that is exactly where most mistakes happen.
Can we set our own prices and margins?
Yes. Material prices, labour and markups are data you manage yourself, not values hard-coded into the program.
Does it work in the field on a phone?
Yes, it runs in the browser, so it works on a tablet during a site visit too. Most firms draw on a tablet and finish the quote in the evening on a computer.
Still laying paving and adding it up on paper?
Write to me and I will show it to you live on your own job. The price comes out while you are still on site, and all you take home are photos, not an evening with a calculator. The first call is free.
