PAVR builds trucking logic, compaction math, and profit visibility into every asphalt estimate, so you go from job specs to professional proposal in under 10 minutes.
Excel gets the area and tons right. But it skips the assumptions that determine whether you actually make money, and takes hours to produce a quote your client has to squint to read.
Trip counts, cycle time, and haul assumptions guessed, not calculated. One wrong assumption erases your margin.
Roll-down factors and density variances ignored. You order the right tons on paper and come up short on the job.
Road bans and frost law payload derates don't show up in generic estimators. But they show up in your trucking bill.
Every estimator uses their own spreadsheet version. Different assumptions. Different margins. No guardrails.
88% of spreadsheets contain errors. One wrong trucking assumption or missed seasonal derate can erase your profit on a single job.
PAVR is built specifically for asphalt paving. Enter your job assumptions and the Estimate Engine calculates what your spreadsheet skips: trip counts, haul times, payload derates, roll-down factors, and full margin breakdown. You see your Profit Summary and Risk Alerts before anything leaves your office. Then generate a professional proposal PDF with scope protection language that your client can actually read, and your team can stand behind. Every formula is visible. Every assumption is documented. No black boxes.
Excel gets the tons. PAVR gets the margin, the proposal, and the time back.
Go from job specs to complete bid in under 10 minutes. No rebuilding spreadsheets. No copy-pasting formulas. Just enter assumptions and go.
Export quotes and invoices to QuickBooks with one click. Line items mapped to your chart of accounts automatically. Your office manager will thank you.
Generate clean, branded proposal PDFs with scope protection language built in. Win work by looking more professional than your Excel-based competitors.
Trip count, cycle time, truck count, and haul costs, calculated per job, not guessed from last season's numbers.
Before you send the quote, PAVR flags assumptions that put your margin at risk. Fix them now, not after the job starts.
Road bans, frost law payload derates, and seasonal cost shifts built into every estimate. Stop eating the difference every spring.
See exactly where your margin lives: materials, trucking, labor, equipment, before the quote leaves your office. Every formula visible, every assumption documented.
Every formula visible. Every assumption documented. Full transparency on how every number was calculated, so you can defend your bid to owners, sureties, and your own team. No black boxes, ever.
Fast enough for the truck cab. Accurate enough to protect your margin.
Area, depth, mix type, haul distance, equipment, crew. PAVR asks the questions your spreadsheet skips.
Trucking logic, compaction yield, seasonal derates, material costs, all calculated against your specific job conditions.
Before anything leaves your office, PAVR flags assumptions that could cost you margin. Thin coverage, long hauls, undersized crew. You see it first.
Generate a branded proposal PDF with scope protection language and your Margin Breakdown for your records. Professional output. Margin protected.
Excel handles area and tonnage. PAVR handles the trucking, compaction, seasonal math, and professional output that actually determine whether you make money, and win the next bid.

“I built PAVR because I was tired of watching good contractors lose money on bad estimates. After pricing asphalt jobs since 2008, from municipal overlays to $5M highway contracts, I knew the math that matters. PAVR is that math, built into software.”
