Stone Edge Surfaces is a division of Turley International Resources, LLC, the owner of concrete manufacturing, mining, packaging, and fulfillment operations in the U.S., New Zealand and Chile. The company has recently announced the release of their new Job Estimator Pro App for the stamped concrete overlay and decorative concrete industry. This new app quickly and easily creates customized job specific estimates. It also calculates labor costs and profit margin, so the profitability of the estimate can be immediately verified and adjusted before emailing to the customer. The app also simplifies material ordering for contractors and distributors. It automatically creates and formats job specific material quantity lists for both sales and front counter staff to use when placing product orders.
Stone Edge Surfaces President and app creator, Bruce Grogg, commented: “When I started with Turley the only experience I had with customizable concrete veneers, concrete overlays or decorative concrete had come from a few training classes and my own personal experience as an industry consultant. After my first year of helping hundreds of industry veterans, new contractors and distributors figure out their job estimates, product orders, profitability and technical questions, I went looking for an app that could help me handle some of the requests.”
Grogg went on to say: “After researching, asking contractors, and comparing existing app’s, there just wasn’t an effective industry specific app available. So, we created one. Although it is based on Stone Edge Surfaces products, it is similar enough in product application coverage to competing products. Thus, it is usable by just about everyone. It is my belief that the more people who download the app and use it to simplify their estimating and ordering processes while increasing their understanding of the concrete overlay market, the faster and bigger our industry will grow.”
About the Job Estimator Pro APP
The app automatically creates estimates. It calculates material and labor costs and profit margin on horizontal and vertical concrete overlay, customizable concrete veneer, stamped concrete overlay and decorative concrete projects. The app can archive estimates or format an estimate. Then it can drop it into an email, customized with customer name, disclaimers, and contractor information. It can also format a complete custom material list or a material order. It will drop them into separate emails for later review or sent to a distributor for order fulfillment.
The app can create an email request or automatically open your phone dialer to contact technical assistance at the touch of a button. It can also open a vertical or horizontal overlay video photo book to show examples to customers or for ideas. Additionally, it can open training videos on vertical stamping and carving. There are also videos on horizontal stamping and carving, over wood deck application, crack bridge, and tape down applications. The app can access blog posts on how to price jobs. It can give comparisons to stone veneer. It can also create and place general product orders, order catalogs, supplies and more.
